Luther Ronzoni Vandross (April 20, 1951 - July 1, 2005) was an American R&B singer. A formidable soul artist whose career spanned four decades- 70's (as backing singer to David Bowie (Young Americans) and Chic, 80's vocalist on early Change singles (Searching) before establishing a solo career that perhaps never realised his true potential. In the 90's he was probably more famous for duets with Janet Jackson and Mariah Carey as well as an ongoing battle with his weight, that may have ultimately proved his undoing. Suffered a stroke in 2004, from which he never really recovered, and passed away in 2005. During his career, Vandross sold 25 million albums and won eight Grammy awards including Best Male R&B Vocal Performance four times.

Love The One You're With Lyrics

Luther Vandross

There's a Rose
In a fisted Glove
and the eagle flies
with the dove
and if you can't be
with the one you love
it's alright
Go ahead and love the one,
love the one,
love the one your with
love the one,
love the one,
love the one your with
If your guy can't come to you
and you don't remember
who your talking to
your concentration slips away
because your baby,
she is so so far away
[Chorus:]
And there's a rose
in a fisted glove
and the eagle flies
with the dove
and if you can't be
with the one you love
love the one your with
Don't be angry
don't be sad
Don't sit cryin'
for good times you had
There's a girl right next to you
and she's waiting
for something to do
[Chorus:]
Do it
do it
do it
Turn your heartache into joy
She's a girl and your a boy
get together, make it tonight,
you ain't gonna need no more advice
[Chorus:]
Just love the one your with
