Best of Luther Vandross...The Best of Love - Vandross, Luther (CD 1989)

This opinion can be summed into one word, ENCORE! I didn't really know which album to write this opinion under until I realized most of the songs on this album were highlighted in his performance Sept. 7th at Jones Beach. The man and his music is extraordinary. Anyone who follows Luther is well aware that he is rated as a 10+ ballad singer. Any album you purchase will leave you longing to purchase another.

This album, as well as all of his productions, encompasses what it takes to be a well rounded performer. The songs touch the heart, soul and mind. It takes only a moment to hear your own experience conveyed through both lyrics and instrumental arrangements. As the words of each song are expressed they are highlighted by the emphasis of each played note or beat. In harmony he grabs your inner soul until you feel his musical expression enwrap what you have dared to release. During the overture of each piece you release what emotions you knew could only be touched by your inner thoughts. As each song fades to end you are gently placed where you began feeling relieved and refreshed. Only a true artist can touch you like this. Even his up beat songs fill your need to party and enjoy memorable moments. Luther Vandross is a true artist. Luther fulfills your musical needs.

Luther, Luther, Luther....ENCORE!!!!
