LUTHER SURE LOOKED DIFFERENT BACK IN THE EARLY DAYS..........2007-03-26

... having worked for a prominent cosmetic surgeon, I tend to spot facial details that most people miss... for instance, Luther's ears here appear to be quite close to his head, while photos in more recent years make them appear to be more prominent... also, he had a more masculine look to his face here, but later in his career he appeared far more feminine-looking... these are just observations, not criticisms - none of this changes the fact that he was an awesome vocalist who, like Prince, wore many hats in the recording of his albums, serving as singer-songwriter-arranger-producer, although I would have loved to hear him pair up with Quincy Jones at least once just to see what they could have come up with together.

Luther Forever And Always.......2007-03-25

'Forever,For Always,For Love' is Luther's critical sophmore release from 1982.Luther Vandross is very much going out of his way to fasion a grand soul epic with this release where even the uptempo songs have a very cinematic feel to them.All eight of these longish songs are wonderful,beautiful and hoplessly romantic as always.My favorites are of course "Bad Boy/Having A Party",'You're The Sweetest One" and "She Gives Love Back",all of which are peppy dance tunes with great hooks and each one had an elegant house party atmosphere.The title cut is very beautiful and also extrodinarily melodramatic.And Luther REALLY lets his soul bare on "Since I Lost My Baby".As opposed to David Ruffin's more tortured tone on the original Luther gives the song a lot more meloncaughly and sadness.On the album cover Luther is leaning cowly up at you almost as if to say "come inside because I've got some great stories to tell".And this is an inviting album-Luther shares his musical and lyrical concepts of love and human relationships here and all the RSVP's are sent out.As always he makes the best use of Marcus Miller as writing partner and crucial bassist and keeps his links strong to classic R&B.This creamy smooth album stands somewhat in contrast to the slightly more groove oriented sounds of Never Too Much and Busy Body which this is sandwiched between but certainly being in the middle can be a wonderful advantage.

Continuation of the First Album.......2006-08-06

Luther keeps the great R+B songs coming.No sophmore jinx.
Just as good if not better than "Never Too Much".

Bad Bad/Having a Party-Night time.Party Groove.Feel good song.

Sweetest One-Lady so sweet.While u groove to the beat

Since I lost my Baby-Another great remake in Luther's repertoire.

Forever,For Always,For Love-A Nice slow jam.One of Luther's Best. Goin' thru the motions of love

Better Love-Sometimes the grass may seem greener on the other side.But he can't love u like me.Great tune

She Loves Me Back-Song about communicating wit' your lady

Promise Me-A Song of Plea about forever love

Once you know how-Everybody has the ability to fall in love.
It's easy to do.

The Second in what I like to call "Gettin' to know Luther trilogy"Which are his first four albums.They sum up the fact that he's "LUTHER"

1.Never Too Much
2.Forever,For Always,For love
3.Busy Body
4.The Night I fell in love

Definitely check this album out

So Amazing Luther Vandross.......2005-07-03

I just purchase this CD a couple years ago. In I want to get some of Luther earlier recordings. He has a voice the melts with not only his lyrics he is so in sync with the lyrics and his voice So Very, Very Richly compliments his songs, lyrics. What Amazing Talent. Every song from Bad Boy/Having a Party to Since I Lost My Baby are so Rich of his Velvet voice you actually touch his emotions and his delivery of each of his song. His Voice is what reachs so deep within your soul and spirit. I can't say enough about Luther Vandross. With his so very Recent Passing this commentary of this songs for me is so overdue from me. I really Admired his Talent and His Dreams. He voice will be so missed. The one thing I regret is that I never got to see Luther Vandros live I really regret that but his music lives on.

Luther, for always.......2004-10-14

Luther's sophomore release is every bit as exceptional as his debut outing, which was a tour de force itself. Luther was on his way to proving that he was finest male vocalist of the eighties, and this highly consistent, tightly-woven recording showcases his other considerable talents as well. The bravura medley of "Bad Boy" and "Having A Party" was the first track to prove that Luther has an undeniable gift for merging two seemingly different compositions, and actually making it work seamlessly. Luther's amazing versatile is really evident on this album, where he proves he can master nearly any emotion from the optimism of the delightful "She Loves Me Back," to the desperation of the intense "Promise Me."

No matter the tempo, Luther always instinctively knows how to interpret a song. The loosely-rendered title track, in particular, could have been a mess in the hands of a less capable performer, but the song is nothing less than stunning when graced with Luther's golden timbre and effortless phrasing.. And as always, his cover of choice (this time Smokey Robinson's "Since I Lost My Baby") gives both his vocal and his emotional range a thrilling showcase. The record-buying support from Luther's cult of fans continued with FOREVER, FOR ALWAYS, FOR LOVE, and the album hit #20 on the Hot 200 and was certified Platinum.

NOTE: Also in 1982, Luther produced Cheryl Lynn's album ISTANT LOVE, and he lended his voice to a cover duet of the Marvin Gaye/Tammi Terrel classic "If This World Were Mine" (#4 R&B). The single was a major R&B hit, but once again failed to make any impact on the Hot 100.

I was very pleased with this product, my sister recently got married and I was responsible for the music.... I am happy that I made this selection, everyone was happy with the music chosen for the ceremony, I would recommend it to any one looking for wedding music

A wedding minister's review.......2000-01-16

I just love this album. I am a wedding minister and many couples ask me about music for their ceremony. I am happy to recommend they buy this album for a wonderful selection of wedding music both traditional and contemporary performed by orchestras, keyboardists, harpists and others including a lovely soprano. One disc is traditional wedding selections and the other is contemporary. The selections are arranged in the order of a ceremony with choices for each part of the ceremony. The CD would be appropriate to use in a wedding if live music is not planned. I plan to add a link to this site from my website just so couples can check this album out for themselves.

A memento of a productive partnership........2001-11-19

EMI commemorate in this double CD a remarkable partnership in the C20th world of music. It began in Berlin in 1926. It had been 20 years since Franz Lehar's "Die lustige Witwe" became the light opera that everyone wanted to see. In places like Beunos Aires it had run simultaneously in five theatres in five different languages. Lehar's subsequent productions had met with diminishing success. His latest light opera, "Paganini", which contained some of his best music, had flopped at its Vienna premiere. Nervous and dispirited as its Berlin premiere drew near, Lehar wrote to the tenor Richard Tauber, "You must sing in Berlin, a second flop is inconceivable for me. I'm suddenly afraid of everything to do with the theatre - I'm getting old".

Tauber obliged. The Berlin production was a resounding success, Tauber sometimes being required to repeat "Gern hab' ich die Frau'n gekusst" as many as five times. Lehar admitted, "Richard, during this moment I have been born again as an artist!" And so began a great final flowering of Lehar theatre productions, all featuring the Austrian tenor Richard Tauber.

Fortunately the Lehar-Tauber association resulted in an extensive series of recordings, in many of which Lehar conducts the orchestra. EMI began issuing a collection of them towards the end of the LP era, and now, in 2001, they are collected onto this double CD. I read the claim that a great many of the tracks appear on CD for the first time, but here in Australia most have already been available on CD.

I don't always find Tauber unexcelled in this repertoire, preferring other tenors sometimes and their recordings. Several of the "Paganini" recordings were made before the Berlin season opened. Tauber and his then wife Carlotta Vanconti sound as though they are sight-reading unfamiliar music. I once possessed several of the "Das Land des Lachelns" items on 78s. The 1929 sound seemed robust and full then, but seems sadly emasculated here.

Tauber, I believe, somehow had the secret of touching the hearts and minds of all who listened to his singing - composers, colleagues, chancellors and charwomen. This comprehensive and well-planned issue will ensure that his work with the Hungarian composer Franz Lehar will continue to charm and delight.

A Worthy Collection for a New Collector.......2007-01-10

I think this is an excellent package and quite reasonably priced.The CD "NEVER TOO MUCH" is a classic; this is Luther's 1st CD (1981) and has quite a number of his hits including "Never Too Much", "A House is Not a Home" and "She's a Super Lady". "FOREVER, FOR ALWAYS" (1982) includes "Since I Lost My Baby" "Bad Boys /Having a Party" and "She Loves Me Back" and the CD "FOR LOVE/BUSYBODY" (1983) includes the duet with Dionne Warwick "How Many Times Can We Say GoodBye" and "Superstar/Until You Come Back To Me" If you are a new collector of Luther Vandross this Three Package Collection is a perfect starting place as these 3 CDs are his earliest recordings. If you are a seasoned collector of Luther I'm sure "I'd be preaching to the choir" saying anything to you as I'm sure you would already have these CDs in your collection.

Customer Reviews:

Great CD - Received Damaged.......2007-06-27

This CD was to be used for my May 19,2007 bride for her ceremony music.
The CD arrived damaged and Amazon did not have anymore in stock.
Thank God for an understanding bride.

Disappointing.......2004-10-31

A mostly music compilation that sounds like a creative mixing genius put it together. Saddly, the wedding entrance march is sung in German (I think). Some of the music is a little "thin" instead of being "full bodied". The wedding exit march will put listeners to sleep. I wish listening samples had been available or I would have saved the money.
