I think Luther is a wonderful talent. I know he's got a long way to go, but I hope that more good news will follow.......

Stroke-Stricken Vandross Now Able To Talk

Spokeswoman Still Says Singer Has Good, Bad Days

POSTED: 10:00 a.m. EDT August 14, 2003

Luther Vandross is making some improvement, but his spokeswoman said "it's still an extremely long road of recovery."

Lois Najarian says every day Vandross shows more and more improvement.

The singer suffered a stroke in April.



She says he can now talk and move his right side -- and that there are very exciting cognitive developments.

Najarian also says Vandross recognizes his music on the radio and sometimes he'll sing along to one of his songs.

But, while there is progress, she hesitates to "give impression that miracles are taking place and he's going to be up and singing right away."

She says like many stroke cases he has good days and bad days.
