There will never be another Luther Vandross, but no other voice comes closer to him than that of Ruben Studdard – the remarkable singer who was hailed as the “next Luther” during his American Idol-winning run. In the 13 years since he brightened the world of pop music on American Idol with his romantic balladry, Ruben Studdard has warmed the hearts of millions! This R&B, pop, and gospel singer has built a huge fan base, recording five albums and touring with the likes of Peabo Bryson, Melissa Manchester, CeCe Winans, and David Foster. His smooth voice has earned him accolades and the nickname “The Velvet Teddy Bear” (from Gladys Knight, no less). He was nominated for a Grammy Award in 2003 for Best Male R&B Vocal Performance.
