Jacob Lusk channels Luther Vandross on 'A House Is Not a Home'

Jacob Lusk picks a great old Burt Bacharach/Hal David ballad, A House Is Not a Home, famously recorded by both Dionne Warwick and Luther Vandross. Jacob, wearing an elegant dark suit and two earrings, cuts a figure somewhere between the two. His performance isn't understated, exactly, but it's wonderfully nuanced. Subtle, even, which isn't a word I would have used previously to describe Jacob. And there are a couple runs in there I'd kill to be able to pull off.
That the American people get to hear a voice like that today is just unbelievable," Steven says. He's honored to be in Jacob's presence. "Divine intervention."
Jennifer says that Luther Vandross was her favorite singer of all time. "He's gone, but now we have you."
Randy: "Jennifer was right. I think Luther would be so proud of you." He also compares him to the great gospel singer Rance Allen, which is a perfect reference point. If you don't know Rance's voice, find some performance videos and you'll see what I mean.
