Luther Vandross’ & Iggy Pop’s Greatest Hits

Today (April 20th) would have been Luther Vandross' 68th birthday. Tomorrow (April 21st), Iggy Pop will celebrate his 72nd birthday. To commemorate "The Velvet Voice" and "The Godfather Of Punk"'s birthdays (and because it's really weird but kind of fun to pair two COMPLETELY different artists' work in a single post), here's a selection of the most popular and best-known songs from each of their storied careers. Enjoy!  ~  JH

BLOGGER'S NOTE:  I didn't bother putting the artist's name alongside the song title of each, because I figured it would be self-evident who's singing when. But just in case you get confused, if you're seeing a skinny white dude with no shirt dancing around wildly onstage and singing somewhat unintelligibly, you're experiencing an Iggy Pop song. If sparkly suits and swooning women are present, it's Luther Vandross.
