Luther Vandross. Greatest Hits :: Education by Design Store

Editorial Review
The best-of-Luther thing has been done a couple of times before, but Greatest Hits lays it down well. The single-disc format means that one of your favorites might not be here, but among the well-chosen gems present are "Never Too Much," "A House Is Not a Home," "So Amazing," and "Any Love." Vandross, of course, was the reigning king of '80s R&B romance; while he was never as troubled as Marvin Gaye or as downright eccentric as Al Green, he did have that voice. Before hip-hop split the audience generationally, it was the favored accompaniment to seduction for many fans, whose number grew even greater when 1986's "Stop to Love" pushed him through the pop-crossover barrier once and for all. Greatest Hits summarizes the days when he ruled the world. --Rickey Wright

The true king of R&B

2006-04-14
Luther was the king from the moment of his first ALBUM (remember those) release. Many artists have tried to and none of them has even come close to the magic Luther could do with a song. There are a lot of babies and marriages in this world thanks to Luther and I know for one, I'm going to miss him. There no point of listing my faves on this CD since I love them all.

Long ago... and oh so far away...

I fell in love with you, before the second show. Don't you remember you told me you love me baby?

The version of Songbird that Luther pulls off in this compilation is heartfelt, soulful, and oh so sweet.

The world has certainly lost one of the great musical talents of our era.

A must have.

Luther Vandross tiene alma, sentimiento y una bellísima voz ... probablemente sea el mejor vocalista de R&B de los últimos 20 años, sus canciones logran hacerte sentir de una manera especial...logran incluso hacerte llorar, tengo la suerte de tener toda su obra y sinceramente esta recopilación aún faltando algunas canciones refleja su obra y su sentimiento, sin duda nos hace sentirnos enamorados de nuevo... gracias Luther que Dios te acompañe seguro que estará feliz de escucharte allá en el cielo (tiene suerte de tenerte a su lado) .... GOD BLESS YOU

When I like an artist but don't love the artist enough to buy all their albums, I'm one of those people who waits to buy the "best of" album. Usually there are several songs selected as "best of" that aren't my favorites and I wonder why certain other songs weren't picked. However, on this album all the songs are great and really representative of the wonderful songs Luther Vandross performed over his career.

fantastic

As with any Luther VanDross Cd, this one was fabulous. Most of his greatest hits were on it, with the exeption of just a couple. All in all,
I would recommend this CD to all Luther fans.

This CD is a terrific collection of some of his best songs, with one great classic after another and it's put together well.

I was never really a Luther Vandross fan because my sister played him so much. I do have to say that this is a Great CD and he was a wonderful singer. I would buy more of his CD's.
