Music Monday: A House Is Not A Home

-
Here's the late Luther Vandross' version of A House Is Not A Home. I love this song - this was exactly the song I had in mind when I wrote about our house.. ER.. home sweet home. For me, whether it's from Dionne Warwick or Luther Vandross, this song is timeless!

I must say though that I love how Luther Vandross sang it with so much emotion. In fact, someone described it as "flawless" even though this was sang live. Check out the music video and you'll know why.

    Yes, Luther Vandross made a soulful rendition of the song A House Is Not A Home originally sung and popularized by Dionne Warwick. The live performance of Luther Vandross was so emotional and sentimental that Dionne Warwick, sitting in the audience, could not help but shed a tear of appreciation for the exceptional and soulful rendition of her song. Your choosing it as your own favorite song also show that you are an emotional and sentimental person full of heart and soul in your inmost being. You have the capacity to love so much. Thanks for the emotional post. God bless you all always.

    Great choice, Meretrisha! I love Vandross' romantic songs because they're great to snuggle to with a loved one. ;)

    It's so sweet seeing Warwick wipe the tears from her eyes when Luther hits the climax of the song. ;)

that's my dad

I am not sure if I have mentioned in any of my posts that my father is a professional mechanical engineer and that he works at a sugar milling company. Career-wise, he actually had humble beginnings where he started from a mere rank and file employee who works hands-on with bearings,  vise accessories and other industrial supplies and equipment that I am not familiar with, until he got promoted to a supervisory position. Today, even when he is already past the age of retirement, he is still working, although now I heard he is already holding a consultancy position (sort of). I am proud of my dad's achievements especially that I am aware that he worked really hard to earn his title. He's not from a well-to-do family; so, he had to work his way to get to college. I remembered even when he already got promoted in supervisory level, he's still willing to do manual labor if he deemed it necessary. He also has a lot of friends at work and this is because he didn't forge...
