Luther Vandross song reminds us of dads no longer with us

6/17/2012

This version of "Dance with My Father" is trending today, reminding us that there are many of us don't have a father to call on Father's Day. Is the Luther Vandross song a little hokey? Yes, but if you're going to get sniffly about your dad, today is the day to do it, and this is the tune to make it happen. It certainly works better than "Parents Just Don't Understand." The bittersweet joke being that you learned much later that they did understand, the whole time. Today is for celebrating that.
