Luther Vandross: Greatest Hits [Original recording remastered]

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com
The best-of-Luther thing has been done a couple of times before, but Greatest Hits lays it down well. The single-disc format means that one of your favorites might not be here, but among the well-chosen gems present are "Never Too Much," "A House Is Not a Home," "So Amazing," and "Any Love." Vandross, of course, was the reigning king of '80s R&B romance; while he was never as troubled as Marvin Gaye or as downright eccentric as Al Green, he did have that voice. Before hip-hop split the audience generationally, it was the favored accompaniment to seduction for many fans, whose number grew even greater when 1986's "Stop to Love" pushed him through the pop-crossover barrier once and for all. Greatest Hits summarizes the days when he ruled the world. --Rickey Wright

4 out of 5 stars What a Luther compilation should be.......2007-05-21

This CD is a terrific collection of some of his best songs, with one great classic after another and it's put together well.

5 out of 5 stars Luther Vandross: Greatest HIts.......2007-03-19

It arrived in excellent condition - sealed, although for the shipping fee rate I would have expected it a little sooner.

5 out of 5 stars Awesome .......2006-12-28

I was never really a Luther Vandross fan because my sister played him so much. I do have to say that this is a Great CD and he was a wonderful singer. I would buy more of his CD's.

5 out of 5 stars The true king of R&B.......2006-04-14

Luther was the king from the moment of his first ALBUM (remember those) release. Many artists have tried to and none of them has even come close to the magic Luther could do with a song. There are a lot of babies and marriages in this world thanks to Luther and I know for one, I'm going to miss him. There no point of listing my faves on this CD since I love them all.

5 out of 5 stars Long ago... and oh so far away..........2005-11-19

I fell in love with you, before the second show. Don't you remember you told me you love me baby?

The version of Songbird that Luther pulls off in this compilation is heartfelt, soulful, and oh so sweet.

The world has certainly lost one of the great musical talents of our era.

A must have.
