be this or i'm going to be 80 trying to do it. and i told my mother that i wanted to drop out and pursue music, and she surprisingly said, sure. and i think the reason she said sure is because of what i didn't know, which is that my father was a brilliant singer. he passed away when i was eight years old, and they say that i got it from him. so i said, i'm going to focus my entire life and whole energy into this, and there is no other consideration. so rejection will just have to happen. and if it happens, it will happen. and i'll keep on going. >> kobe believed in himself at the youngest possible age. >> it's one of the most remarkable stories in sports history. >> i don't want to be remembered as just a basketball player. >> kobe premieres january 25th on cnn. >> i can tell you how much you spent on takeout, and it's a lot. >> you can track my spending by category one. weird. two how?

it would only be played on black radio. so when it became a challenge is when he wanted to cross over. because luther was not necessarily embraced or given the freedom to do it the same way that other artists that don't look like luther are. >> why has the label always positioned you in a in a business sense, as a black singer and pigeonholed you in that way? >> and does that bother you? >> natalie cole said something that i loved when, in accepting the grammys or the american music award, whichever, that she thanked her old fans and her new fans. exactly. so, arsenio, there's nothing wrong with adding new fans to your to the i love the people who brought me thus far. without a doubt, there is. that is just not the issue at all. when you pigeonhole an artist and you

make them an r&b singer, you're in a certain way doing them a disservice. the point is that i want to add new listeners and reach as many and as varied. a group of people. that's been something we've been working on for ever yeah. >> he felt very strongly that he was being treated in a racist way by the executives. he felt it from the budgets that he was being given to make records to the amount of money that they were spending to promote. when he'd look around and know that the promotion budgets for that white artist or that white artist were triple what they were spending on his records. he was not a guy who sort of just made records and stayed out of the business side of it. he was very astute. he was a very astute businessman, and he he knew what was happening.

>> the concept of crossing over was really so important, honestly, to every artist, radio in america really was black, white, black, white. and when you had the ability to cross over, if you were fortunate enough to cross over, really what that did for you was give you way more record sales, because now you had other lanes. you didn't just get played on the black station, you got played on the white stations as well how it came to be as to whether you were pop or whether you were r&b. way precedes me. >> but it was really done on racial terms. >> r&b play was for african artists. >> when records and cds were sold in stores. when you walked into the store, it was very rare that black records were

even at the front of the store. so if you just came in to browse and you were a fan of black music, you walk in the store and you're just looking and you don't even really do they even sell black music in here? and then somebody is telling you and it's at the back. this is real talk. and when you go to the back, it's starting to smell like mice. and you know what i'm saying? the speakers are staticky. and are they even playing black music in the record store for you to get that taste of, oh, should i buy that? and luther was fighting all of this. that's why when you hear him quoted so often, i want a number one record. some of that is i want a number one record. some of it is i want to be treated fairly in this business. >> live from the shrine auditorium in los angeles, the 28th annual grammy awards tonight. >> luther wanted to be number one on the pop charts, and then he also

wanted a grammy. now, most of us are too cool to want a grammy. you know you want it. you're too cool to say you want it. luther didn't care about that. he's like, i want my grammy. and it took a while. >> and the grammy goes to terence trent d'arby. >> we're here to present the grammy for best r&b performance, male. >> and the grammy goes to mr. stevie wonder and the grammy goes to living in america. >> james brown. >> she calls me up. he says, so the grammys are in new york this year. he'd been nominated nine times before and had not won. he said, i ain't gonna win. so listen, just come with me. you know, we'll go to the ceremony, we'll go out and eat. we'll hang out the nominations for best regina belle and michael bolton are on the stage calling out the names, and the grammy goes to.

>> luther vandross and i could feel him go like this. >> and then he just sort of calmed down and just got really cool. for all i knew. well, i'm stunned. i said, so this is a dude i met in the projects, and he's here tonight winning a grammy for here and now. you know, love is all. >> your love is all i need i'm so glad. >> i'm so glad, i'm so glad. i'm so glad. i'm so glad. i'm so glad. >> i'm so glad. yes, i am. that i won a grammy. >> so you. welcome to studio. the next day. says everyone here you are to address me for the rest of the day as luther, grammy winner vandross. so we laughed, right? and he made us do that for the whole day.

it's about time time, time, time. >> i had to get that in yeah. >> yeah, yeah, those shows can weirdly inspire you because if you get shut out so many times, if you think about it, luther's music just kept getting better, kept getting better. he said, i'm going to be undenied. and so it could be the blessing and the curse. of course, he should have won a grammy nine times. of the nine times he was shut out. but in a weird way, it purified him, made him, made him do his best. you know, the last fire i covered here in the palisades? >> that was 1000 acres. this is 16,000 acres. >> there were flames on both sides of the highway. there were embers flying. >> we see fire trucks coming from all around the state. >> what is the situation with the water? >> obviously, in the palisades. it ran out last night. and the hydrant? why do i have to ask the governor why there is not water in the fire hydrants? >> oh my god, it's hard for me

challenge for artists like luther and all those r&b artists who dominated radio. and it became hip hop's time. so a lot of artists from his generation got a little quiet for them, not to the point that they weren't successful, but not successful in the way that they had previously been successful. well, i haven't released a product in a couple of years now, and it will be interesting because i'm about to sign a new record deal now. >> wait wait wait wait wait wait wait. you're going to sign with i read this, you're going to sign with clive davis i am yeah, you are going to sign with j records with his new label? >> absolutely. yeah. >> clive davis is so known for his expertise as an executive producer. aretha came to clive. dionne came to clive. whitney started with clive. he's just instrumental in a lot of black artists lives. and

>> which two were your favorite and why? >> mhm. >> any love remains my favorite song. >> really? why? >> because it is probably the only real autobiographical song that i wrote. that's exactly the way i was feeling when i wrote the song. i speak to myself sometimes and i say, oh, my. in a lot of ways you're a lucky guy. and oh, now all you need is a chance to try any love in my heart there's a need to shout. die and scream and cry. and let me out. there are all those feelings that i want to touch any. love.

>> when people ask me. tell me about luther. i said just listen to any love. just listen to those lyrics. you know, i got everything. i speak to myself sometimes and i say, oh, my. in a lot of ways you're a lucky guy. now all you need is a chance to try. any luck? right. ooh. >> any. love enough. everyone needs love. no doubt. any love. any love. and. all. everybody feels alone without any love. any. love. and i know there's someone waiting to enter my life. come into my life and oh, suddenly, out of the clear blue sky. oh, yeah.

that he would say, i feel like a trick has been played on me. >> and what do you mean? well, god has given me everything i asked for except for this one thing. to have one person who loves me. and we would say, but luther, you know we love you. and he said, i know you guys love me. that's not what i'm talking about. so we never made that a focal point of our relationship. and we were together quite a bit. our dream for luther was just that he could be loved and appreciated for who he was, because he was a wonderful human being his life had some extremely joyful moments and some really difficult moments. >> there was one time after

luther lost all the weight. there was a rumor that he died or that he had aids or something. >> now, last week there was last, last year there were a lot of rumors because you got thin. >> yeah. you're not going to ask me about that stupid thing? >> no, i'm going to ask you what diet you went on so irresponsibly wrote in. i'm not going to even mention it. >> there was a report out, a rumor out that luther was dead. >> oh, yeah. did you guys see that? >> yeah, i heard it. yeah. >> there was. so finally, it just made me realize you have to just. i copped to it. i died. >> can you imagine? >> he said, man, i'm sitting here in the living room watching tv on sunday, and the pastor is saying a prayer for me because i just passed, you know, i'm still here. can you imagine? i mean, this is like i tell a lot of you young people, fame and fortune. fortunes. cool. fame is not always so cool.

>> knowing love the way i do i can say for certain that it's true. there's a chance for me and you. >> what would you say? >> you spent more time being in love or like waiting for love? >> waiting. waiting. and the time that was spent being in love was largely, unfortunately, always. unrequited. unreciprocated. whatever the word is. you know what i'm saying? now, i remember spending all my time on a dream that kept me wishing that you could be mine yeah. i don't consider myself a lover by any stretch, but no, it has.

that had not happened, you know. so i'm still waiting for me to get the love. >> i've been missing. >> sometimes love takes a long time. >> but wait for love. >> and you're gonna get your chance to wait for love. >> wait for love and you, you. yeah. >> love takes it always made me sad. because i always wanted luther to find whatever would fulfill his heart. >> there's something inside of luther that he just. >> i think, in some ways, felt like he couldn't share all of himself i think that because of the stigma back then, if he was gay, the thought of, quote, coming out, he couldn't bear it. >> he'd rather be alone than

have that stigma attached. >> one of the things that really me off is there were people who have talked about his personal life who, you know, he considered friends. >> did he struggle with the idea of coming out publicly? >> was that was that something that you talked about at all? >> we talked about it. it was basically he did not want his mother to be, although she might have known her, but he wasn't going to come out and say this to the world. and he had a lot of lady fans, and he told me that he just didn't want to upset the world. >> i don't really know what i want to say. i'm going to
