His first breakthrough in show business came in 1972 when his composition "Everybody Rejoice" (A Brand New Day) was included in the hit Broadway musical "The Wiz". Two years later, David Bowie asked Luther to arrange and sing backgrounds on his Young Americans LP (which also included the Vandross song "Fascination") and subsequent tour.

"You ain't a pimp and you ain't a hustler
A pimp's got a Cadi and a lady got a Chrysler
Black's got respect, and white's got his soul train
Mama's got cramps, and look at your hands ache
I heard the news today, oh boy
I got a suite and you got defeat
Ain't there a man you can say no more?
And, ain't there a woman I can sock on the jaw?
And, ain't there a child I can hold without judging?
Ain't there a pen that will write before they die?
Ain't you proud that you've still got faces?
Ain't there one damn song that can make me
break down and cry?"

get well Luther
