FWIIW, Keb - I think your mom has a real claim to fame for ever being in the same room with Luther Vandross!
In my mind he is the true King of soul...
Closest I ever came to meeting him was in the indoor 'garage' of the Ahoy in Rotterdam after the only concert I was ever lucky enough to see him in...he lowered the window of his car...I got to say 'Thank You' - He said you are welcome'...then the car drove off...I felt So happy to be able to expres how I felt about that performance
...still sad about his pasing away, far far too soon...a great loss!

I've met Harry Hill, he allowed me to photograph his set, as he was filming near my school. I've met Blue, Chris Eubank, Frank Bruno, Sonia from Eastenders. Graham Norton...
Anthony Costa from Blue, his ex's mum had a timeshare in the same place we did and they went on holiday at the same time as us and I watch a footie match with him and his GF's little boy.
The list goes on. I'll have to think some more about the rest.
