Vandross was born on April 20, 1951, in New York City. He was the youngest of four children and grew up in a public housing project on Manhattan's Lower East Side. His father, who was also a singer, died of diabetes when Vandross was eight years old.
Vandross developed a passion for music at an early age and taught himself to play the piano by ear. He also sang in a church choir and a vocal group called Shades of Jade. [^1^] [^2^] [^4^]

In 1972, Vandross wrote his first song, \"Everybody Rejoice\", for the Broadway musical The Wiz. He then started working as a session singer and arranger for various artists, such as Roberta Flack, David Bowie, Donna Summer, and Carly Simon. He also
formed a vocal quintet called Luther, which released two albums in 1976 and 1977. In 1980, he became the lead singer of the disco group Change and scored a hit with \"The Glow of Love\". [^1^] [^2^]

Vandross launched his solo career in 1981 with his debut album Never Too Much, which went platinum and topped the R&B charts. He followed it with a series of successful albums that showcased his distinctive style of romantic soul music. He also
collaborated with other singers, such as Dionne Warwick, Gregory Hines, Janet Jackson, and Mariah Carey. He won eight Grammy Awards and sold over 35 million records worldwide. He was widely regarded as one of the greatest vocalists of his generation and
influenced many artists, such as Alicia Keys, John Legend, and Usher. [^1^] [^2^] [^3^]
However, Vandross's life and career were cut short by a series of health problems. He suffered from diabetes and hypertension, which increased his risk of heart disease and stroke. In April 2003, he had a severe stroke at his home in New York City and
was in a coma for nearly two months. The stroke affected his ability to speak and sing, and required him to use a wheelchair. He also had a tracheotomy to help him breathe. [^1^] [^2^] [^3^] [^4^]

Vandross made his last public appearance in May 2004, when he appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show via video. He thanked his fans for their support and expressed his hope to recover and resume his career. He also received four Grammy Awards that year for
his album Dance With My Father, including Song of the Year for the title track, which was a tribute to his late father. He accepted the awards through a recorded message that touched many viewers. [^1^] [^2^]

On July 1, 2005, Vandross died at JFK Medical Center in Edison, New Jersey, from a heart attack. He was 54 years old. His death was mourned by millions of fans and fellow artists, who paid tribute to his legacy and influence. He was buried at George
Washington Memorial Park in Paramus, New Jersey. His epitaph reads: \"The Voice of Love.\" [^1^] [^2^]
