Music reviews of Essential Luther Vandross
Music Review: Luther Will Not Be Forgotten!
Rating: 5 Stars
"Essiential Luther Vandross" is the best collection of Luther Vandross songs you could find. There have been several others, but most of them falls flat since they don't cover too alot of his work, this double album does however and it was released in 2003, so apart from the "Dance With My Father" album it got most of his hits.
Luther Vandross gre up idolizing the likes of Aretha Franklin and Dionne Warwick. He always sang and was part of a Bronx band at a young age, in the 70's he started writing music for others and to sing backround vocals. He did so for David Bowie, on his "Young Americans" in the 70's, Bowie was mighty impressed with Luther's fantastic voice. He eventuall started recording himself and the first two albums under the name "Luther" came out in the late 70's for a low budget company, but didnt't give him much success. He recorded and sang Commercial jingled and appeared as a guest singer for the band "Change". Finally, in 1981 he was offerred a lucurative record deal for Epic and his official debut album "Never Too Much" was released. It was a album with many uptempo songs and the title track became his first hit. A cover of his idol's Warwich "A House is not a Home" became a hit aswell. His upcoming 2 albums were also great "Forever, For Always, For Love" gave the hits "Since I Lost My Baby" a Temptation remake and the self penned uptempo "She Loves me Back". At the same time he had big success with a Cheryl Lynn duet called "If This World Were Mine", but it didn't appear on album. On "Busy Body", a remake of Carpenters "Superstar" was the standout. He also got the chance to record a duet with Dionne Warwick in "How Many Times Can We Say Goodbye". On his 1986 album "Give me the Reason" he had 2 #1 singled on the R&b charts., "Stop to Love" and a Gregory Hines duet "There's Nothing Better the Love" But it was exclusively on the R&B Charts that Luther had success, it wasn't until the late 80's that he went more into mainstream music.
the Ballad "Any Love" from 1988, hit 44 on the pop charts and was the start of a new episode. In 1991 "Don't Want To Be A Fool" was released, it hit #9 on the pop charts. In 1992 a duet with Janet Jackson was recorded "Best Things in Life Are Free", which is missing here. It became on of his biggest hit singles. In 1994, a colmpilation with exclusively performed personal favorites was released "Love the One You're With" "Always And Forever" and "Endless Love" a fantastic duet with Mariah Carey. "Your Secret Love" from 1996 also appears here. It was awarded Best Male R&B Vocal the same year. He continued making solid music during the rest of the 90's, an eponymous album was released in 2001 and gave some minor success. In 2003 he recorded the award winning "Dance With My Father" an album made for the memory of his father that died when Luther was 8 years old. The title track, written together with Richard Marx won a grammy for Song of the Year". The album was a warm comebcack for Luther after struggles with his health the same year. Sadly it became his last album aswell. Luther died in 2005 of complications from a stroke. We lost one of the greatest male singers of our time. He will not be forgotten!
Overall. Good collection, I miss "Best Things in Life are Free" but other then that, it coveres everything you could ask for. It's the best of Luther collections and suits well in your music collection.
