DANCE WITH MY FATHER won the 2004 Grammy Award for Best R&B Album. "Dance With My Father" won for Song Of The Year and for Best Male R&B Vocal Performance. The song was also nominated for Best R&B Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocals and for Best R&B Song. "The Closer I Get To You" won for Best R&B Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocals. Life can be cruel and nowhere is this more apparent than when Luther Vandross was felled by a stroke just prior to the release of DANCE WITH MY FATHER. For the most personal of his 15 albums, Vandross dipped into the worlds of R&B and hip-hop for help on a handful of songs. Checking in are Beyonce Knowles playing Donny Hathaway to Luther's Roberta Flack on a lush reading of "The Closer I Get to You" that finds the roles flipped and Busta Rhymes hopping aboard a thumping cover of Bill Withers' "Lovely Day" (that includes a Part II). Also helping out with the heavy lifting are Queen Latifah on the snappy "Hit It Again" with its crackling rhythms, and bad-girl Foxy Brown who brings plenty of attitude to the sassy "If It Ain't One Thing." For all the celebrity cameos, Vandross is most successful when he masterfully changes gears into his guise as pop's premiere balladeer. With his velvety croon, this New York City native reminisces about better times on the wistful "Once Were Lovers" (featuring a moving Stevie Wonder harmonica solo) and also delivers the heartfelt title track, a self-described career song dedicated to Vandross' late father.

Reviews I have always had this CD up until recently. It accendently got broken and I just had to replace it. Review ID: 10000000007864548 Was this review helpful? Report this review Review created: 06/01/08 by: I think most of the time on ebay power sellers raise the shipping price to cover themselves on the low bidding of their product. This seller said it and stood by his word. I seldom find a seller that wants more than the store do locally. I hope to see this one go up the ladder to be one of the power sellers that care about their customers. Thanks for the uick ship and evn quicker response to getting it to you as resonal time or even quicker if it possible. Review ID: 10000000007354249 Was this review helpful?

Report this review Review created: 03/10/07 by: jianying1bay ( 2 ) I bought the used CD with good condition but pay the half price as new one. I don't feel any different when I enjoy the music from the used CD. Also I couldn't find some old published CD in music store but I can find on ebay usually. That is reason why I often I buy some stuff on ebay. Review ID: 10000000003179498 Was this review helpful? Report this review Review created: 03/04/07 by: I bought this item because of the song Dance with My Father. After my Grandpa passed away my cousin Justin had me listen to it and it definately hit home. I decided after hearing played then, at the viewing, and at the funeral that I needed the CD. The CD came with no scratches and plays really well I listen to it all the time I absolutely love it. Thank You "you wouldn't believe how much closure this song brings me" Review ID: 10000000003079917 Was this review helpful? Report this review |
