Vandross wrote "Dance with My Father" with Marx, based on his personal experience. Considered by Vandross as his "career song",[1] "Dance with my Father" is a tribute to his father, Luther Vandross Sr., who died due to complications of diabetes. Vandross was eight when his father died. According to Marx, writing the song was emotional for Vandross because it is "a subject matter [Vandross] hadn't written before".[2]
In February 2004, "Dance with My Father" earned Vandross and Marx a Grammy Award for Song of the Year and Vandross a Grammy Award for Best Male R&B Vocal Performance. Marx accepted the award on behalf of Vandross, who was unable to attend due to health concerns. At the same event, singer Celine Dion agreed to perform a live rendition of the song in lieu of Vandross, and Marx accompanied her on the piano as she recently lost her father.[8] After the performance, Vandross however accepted the awards on a videotaped speech.[9]
Beyonc, whose duet with Vandross, "The Closer I Get to You," is featured on his recently released album, Dance With My Father, appears in the video alongside her father and manager, Mathew Knowles.
Before the incident, the 52-year-old singer explained the motivation for the song "Dance With My Father" to J Records. "Recording that song was very emotional for me and it is based on my own experience," he said. "It's my mother and my father dancing to some Baby Washington songs with me right there ... and the memory of that moment has hovered around me throughout my life ever since."
I just love this song! Although I haven't lost my father, I still cried when I heard this song because at the time my parents had just divorced and I was living with my mom, and I heard this song and thought it was the sweetest thing ever. Luther Vandross is a very talented guy and just for the record, I hope he gets better.
My father hasn't passed, that I know of. Sadly, my father didn't want to be in my life and found it easier to blame me and my sister for 'rejecting' him than to admit it he didn't want to see us. This song relates to me, because what I wouldn't give to dance with my father.
My parents divorced seven years ago. two years ago, after moving across the country and not seeing me in a year, my dad got me there for his wedding. Me and him danced to this song at the wedding. At the time, I thought it was stupid to dance with him at HIS wedding and took it for granted. Now, I wish I never did. I slap myself for that everytime I hear this song. And when I get married, me and him want to dance to that exact same song. 0852c4b9a8
