Luther's Smooth Valentine Gift: 'I'd Rather' Single Release with New Lyric Video

As we count down to the most romantic day of the year – Valentine’s Day 2023 – Luther Vandross fans are in for a treat. To celebrate this special occasion, Luther’s soulful rendition of his hit song ‘I’d Rather’ is being released as a single accompanied by an elegant new lyric video.

Recorded during his unforgettable performance at Radio City Music Hall on April 9th, 2003 – which will be immortalized in the upcoming deluxe digital release of Luther Vandross - Live Radio City Music Hall 2003 - Expanded 20th Anniversary Edition (The Last Concert) on February 10th through JanuJ Records and Legacy Recordings – this stunning performance marks a poignant reminder of the legendary crooner’s extraordinary talent.

'I'd Rather' was first released as part of his self-titled seventh studio album, which achieved platinum status upon its release in November 2001. The song quickly rose to No. 1 on Billboard's Adult R&B Songs chart and remains one of Luther Vandross’ most cherished ballads to this day.

This re-release comes at an opportune time as music lovers around the world continue to celebrate his legacy two decades after he left us too soon. With its timeless blend of soulful vocals, lush instrumentation, and heartfelt lyrics – 'I'd Rather' remains a testament to Luther's enduring influence on contemporary R&B.
