Luther would love it.......2007-06-28

I don't know if the album was finished in time for Luther to hear it, but he would have loved it. Let's bow down for the Queen of Soul's "House is Not a Home"- with her bluesy-gospel styling- this alone is worth the price of admission. I can see myself standing on the concert hall chair screaming "sang girl!"

There is variety-"Anyone who had a heart" is sung along with Luther, a la Natalie Cole/NK Cole (Unforgettable), a reggae beat covers one song, a disco beat covers another. A myriad of styles abound, and you'll think "Oh, that's a cool way to redo that song!" Luther would move and groove to it, he would smile and be proud, as I am.

So Amazing!.......2007-05-12

An absolute must for all Luther fans. I was very impressed with Usher singing Superstar and of course the haunting voice of Stevie Wonder on So Amazing is awesome. A real gem for the collection.

Ok CD.......2007-03-08

This CD is not as great as I thought it would be...not all the guest artist's on this CD did justice to Luther's tunes, it would almost appear that I'm judging contestants on American Idol.

Great Collabration.......2007-03-06

Well, this CD really does do Luther Vandross justice. All the artists have done him proud. Recommend this to all Luther Vandross followers.

Thanks for a Job Well Done.......2007-01-10

This is an excellent tribute to Mr. Luther Vandross from very talented Musicians! You could feel the respect for his music done in a way that I think Luther would have been very proud to hear.
