Luther Vandross' - Dance With My Father is in my opinion, not only his most beautiful and touching song but overall one one of the greatest songs ever. Outstanding performance, touching words and a story each and every person can relate to are what makes it so special. I have recorded my own rendition which I dedicate to my Grandmother. All the best, Deon
