I have very blessed to connect with some of the singers who have greatly inspired me on my musical journey. One of them is the fabulous Brenda White-King. She is royalty amongst the ranks of the top-line background vocalists in the industry. From Roberta Flack to Steely Dan to Chaka Khan to Aretha Franklin, she has graced hit records and monster concert tours. It her work with Luther Vandross that brought her to my attention. She was one of the singers in his band when I first saw him live back in 1984. It is awesome to be able to give a birthday serenade to one of my musical heroes. Happy Birthday, Brenda!!!! 🎉🎂🍾❤️🤎 #musicalinspirations #brendawhiteking #realsingers #realmusicians #BlackExcellence https://www.instagram.com/p/CDusNjRJvLm/?igshid=1181yuzha9tqy

This is an awesome shot of the amazing vocalists who masterfully backed up Maestro Luther Vandross. Pat Lacy, Brenda White-King , Kevin Owens, Valerie Pinkston, and Cindy Mizelle. Their fearless leader Nat Adderley, Jr in the foreground. I think this was from the Valentine's Day shows that led to the "Live from Radio City Music Hall" album in 2003. #musicalinspirations #luthervandross #realsingers #realmusicians #Legend #icon #genius #patlacy #valeriepinkston #cindymizelle #kevinowens #brendawhiteking https://www.instagram.com/p/B__dkKsJurP/?igshid=2ecljcva7exj

Reposted from @earlharvillemuzic It was always a good time at a Luther Vandross show. This was the Take You Out Tour, 2001. I loved the dynamic between him and his wonderful singers - Pat Lacy, Valerie Pinkston, Cindy Mizelle, Kevin Owens, Brenda White-King, and Kevin Owens. PARTAAAAY!! 🎤🎶🎼🎹💛 #musicalinspirations #luthervandross #realsingers #realmusicians #natadderlyjr #skipanderson #ivanhampden #byronmiller #philhamilton #rogersquitero #patlacy #valeriepinkston #cindymizelle #kevinowens #brendawhiteking - #regrann https://www.instagram.com/p/B8-iKQiJlKj/?igshid=6671c69xy0eu

🎤🎶🎼💛 Luther Vandross was an amazing interpreter of other artists' songs. His cover of "Going Out of My Head" was phenomenal and they slayed it live. His great band, led by Nat Adderley, Jr, and the fabulous Brenda White-King, Kevin Owens, Paulette McWilliams, Valerie Pinkston, and Cindy Mizelle on vocals. From the Your Secret Love Tour 1997. #musicalinspirations #luthervandross #realsingers #realmusicians #natadderlyjr #skipanderson #ivanhampden #byronmiller #philhamilton #stevecroon #cindymizelle #valeriepinkston #kevinowens #paulettemcwilliams #brendawhiteking https://www.instagram.com/p/B8vVOUapptl/?igshid=9ermnwrl1tmp

On this night 36 year ago, January 12 1984, I attended my first popular music concert. We went to see Luther Vandross with special guest DeBarge. Admittedly, most of us went mainly for the family quintet that were so big on at the time. I always loved Luther's songs, but didn't know his catalog as thoroughly. By the end of the night, I was forever a fan of the best R&B/soul singer of this generation. Every facet of the show was amazing. The stage set. The wardrobe. The band. We were all mesmerized by the incredible backing singers. It was one of the early life-altering events that led me to pursue music seriously. 🎤🎼🎶👑🔥💛 #musicalinspirations #luthervandross #realsingers #realmusicians #natadderlyjr #skipanderson #yogihorton #alfaanderson #brendawhiteking #lisafischer #philballou #FollowThePull #purpose #knowyourcalling By the way, this pic is actually from that very night 36 years ago. 👐🏾 https://www.instagram.com/p/B7PVkQApOu3/?igshid=o910ibmvh7gj

From the 2001 Take You Out Tour. Luther Vandross was always glad to show off his fabulous background singers. He brings Kevin Owens front and center to perform "Love On a Two Way Street". Fantastic!! 🎤🎶🎼💛 #musicalinspirations #luthervandross #realsingers #cindymizelle #valeriepinkston #kevinowens #brendawhiteking #patlacy #soulmusic #RandBmusic #backinthaday https://www.instagram.com/p/B69Y4xYpKuy/?igshid=6ebc2qv54tcd

On December 30th, 2001, my sister, parents, and I went to see Luther Vandross on his "Take You Out" Tour at the Chicago Theatre. It would be the last time I got to see him perform live. It was magical. As always, the background vocals were amazing. Brenda White-King, Valerie Pinkston, Cindy Mizelle, Kevin Owens, and Pat Lacy are among the best there are. "Superstar" was always a highlight of his shows. These arrangements are bananas!! #musicalinspirations #luthervandross #realsingers #cindymizelle #valeriepinkston #kevinowens #brendawhiteking #patlacy #natadderlyjr #iloveharmonies 🎙️🎼🎶💛 https://www.instagram.com/p/B6uw9XsJ2uv/?igshid=l30amiw9xqvi

Singers. REAL SANGERS. The ever amazing LUTHER VANDROSS with Brenda White-King, Valerie Pinkston, Cindy Mizelle, and Kevin Owens. I have learned so much about harmony, blend, phrasing, and color from these folks. 💛 🎤 🎶🎼 #musicalinspirations #luthervandross #icon #Legend #brendawhiteking #cindymizelle #valeriepinkston #kevinowens #iloveharmonies https://www.instagram.com/p/B1z8dRrBqex/?igshid=e9o2kr6sic2b

Happy Birthday to KEVIN OWENS, the brutha with one of the most angelic voices ever. He faithfully served as one of Luther's ace background singers for close to 20 years. Check him out in this great solo spotlight clip. 🎂🎉👑 #musicalinspirations #luthervandross #realsingers #realmusicians #natadderlyjr #brendawhiteking #cindymizelle #patlacy #valeriepinkston #kevinowens https://www.instagram.com/p/CD96apFpnsg/?igshid=tso3li6nnwft

The first concert I ever attended was Luther on the Busy Body Tour, January 1984. That set the standard for me for what live performances were supposed to be. I was never disappointed with his shows. My sister and I took Gladys to see the "Your Secret Love" Tour in '97. Phenomenal show. As always, he brought his A-game. His brilliance was complimented by the awesomeness of Brenda White-King, Paulette McWilliams, Kevin Owens, Valerie Pinkston, and Cindy Mizelle. It's this legacy of excellence that keeps his art alive for us even now. 👑🤎 #luthervandross #musicalinspirations #realmusicians #realsingers #Legend #gonetoosoon #natadderlyjr #skipanderson #ivanhampden #stevekroon #brendawhiteking #paulettemcwilliams #kevinowens #valeriepinkston #cindymizelle #BlackExcellence #soulmusic https://www.instagram.com/p/CCIH8deplP4/?igshid=1f75kqfbn7hp1
