"Dance with My Father" is a song by Luther Vandross and the title track to his fourteenth and final studio album. It was released in May 2003 as the album's lead single. With Richard Marx, Vandross wrote the song based on his personal experience. The lyrics recall childhood memories with Vandross's father, who used to dance with him and his mother. Despite the lack of promotion due in part to Vandross's hospitalization, "Dance with My Father" became one of the most requested songs at the time. During the 2004 Grammy Awards, "Dance with My Father" earned Vandross the Song of the Year and Best Male R&B Vocal Performance accolades. While Vandross was hospitalized, a music video was shot for the single. Hosting famous friends of his and fans alike, the clip features musicians, singers, actors and sport stars. The video features childhood snapshots of Vandross. Celebrities who made cameos are Monica, Beyoncé, Brian McKnight, Johnny Gill, Stevie Wonder, Garcelle Beauvais, Damon Wayans, Holly Robinson Peete, Whitney Houston, Janet Jackson, Jason Kidd, Derek Jeter, Master P, Lil Romeo, Babyface, Lalah Hathaway, Queen Latifah, Ashanti, Celine Dion, Nickolas Ashford, Nona Gaye, Patti LaBelle, Ruben Studdard, Brandy, Quincy Jones, Wyclef Jean, Wayne Brady, Morris Chestnut, and Shaquille O'Neal. TikTok muted the video at full length due to copyright claims, so I had to edit it to one minute.
