"Here and Now" is a 1989 song by American recording artist Luther Vandross, and written by: David L. Elliott and Terry Steele. The single is from the compilation album The Best of Luther Vandross... The Best of Love. "Here and Now" became his fifth single to peak at No. 1 on the Hot Black Singles, and his first single to chart in the top ten on Billboard Hot 100, at No. 6. "Here and Now" also earned Vandross his first Grammy Award for Best Male R&B Vocal Performance in 1991. Vandross performed the song on an episode of The Oprah Winfrey Show and in the two-part "Do Not Pass Go" (season 5) of 227, where he performed during Rose and Warren's wedding ceremony in early 1990.
In 1997, saxophonist Richard Elliot covered the song from his album "Jumpin' Off."
