"Luther Vandross: singer, songwriter, masterful producer, pop balladeer, blues and jazz stylist, soul crooner, torch singer, chansonnier. He made baby-making music that doubled as the soundtrack to nearly unbearable loneliness and isolation, themselves the result of heartbreak or heartache. The yin and yang of joy and emotional despair played out in his music, with one always hinting at or acknowledging the other. With his death, an era came to an end." --from the liner notes by Ernest Hardy Album Description

Great music!!

Excellent. I didn't know that he had written so many of the songs that I grew up listening to. It's an awesome compilation. A wonderdul piece to remember Luther Vandross by. July 31, 2008

Cannot get enough of Luther Vandross

I bought this as a birthday present for my sister, and she absolutely adores it! If you love music, especially music by Luther Vandross, this is well worth the investment for the price--four cds of nothing but Luther Vandross plus a book about his life. My sister has not been able to put it down yet, and she keeps the discs right next to her bed! June 1, 2008

She Loves Me Back is on here!

It is VERY hard to find his earlier song, "She Loves Me Back" on a CD, and since that's my all-time favorite Luther song, I think this box set is worth it for that alone. I tend to favor his earlier recordings even more than his later songs, so I appreciate that this song was included on here. That said, any Luther fan will enjoy all of these songs, of course, in one neat package. February 21, 2008

Love, Luther

Anything 'Luther' pleases me, and "Love, Luther" did not disappoint me. The personal information about this fantastic artist was informative, funny, poignant, and insightful. Thank you for making this Luther collection available to me! January 27, 2008

Forever, For Always, For Luther...

(4 and a half stars) If you are like me you had those first five or six Luther albums and fell in love with songs like 'Forever...', 'My Sensitivity' and 'Wait For Love.' When I first saw this it seemed incomplete. Where was 'Make Me a Believer' for example? After hearing this box set I had a more complete picture of who Luther was. Luther the vocal arranger on so many popular songs, and all of the additional artists he worked with in addition to those I already knew. The songs that are chosen are career spanning (there's even 'Dance With My Father.') There are demos, rare 12" versions, a few live cuts and two 'new' tracks that you will really love hearing for the first time. The long box, essay and track listing are really great as well. In short it gives a concise complete picture of this much loved and much missed artist. January 27, 2008
