I did not know until Google kindly informed me that on February 16, 2003, Beyonce and Luther Vandross, both powerhouses in their own right, recorded a rendition of “The Closer I Get to You” by Roberta Flack and Donnie Hathaway.
The track was on Beyonce’s first solo album, Dangerously in love. It was magical then, and magical now.
RIP, Luther.
