Recorded between 1980 & 1989. Includes liner notes by Aretha Franklin, Dionne Warwick, Arsenio Hall & Luther Vandross.
This 1989 double-disc compilation was the first Luther Vandross best-of on the market, and it is a faithful representation of the key tracks from the artist's first decade as a performer. Naturally, Vandross's '90s work is not represented, and Vandross had recorded so much quality material during the '80s that even this 20-track set omits some gems.
With those reservations aside, BEST OF LUTHER VANDROSS... THE BEST OF LOVE is a veritable case study in smooth '80s R&B, including such smash hits as "Here and Now," "Never Too Much," and the Bacharach-David classic "A House Is Not a Home." Vandross really only sings about love, but with a voice this beautiful and a delivery this passionate, who's complaining? Fans who want a compilation of his '90s work as well should pick up ONE NIGHT WITH YOU...THE BEST OF LOVE, VOL. 2, which, together with this set, provides a comprehensive overview of Vandross's magic.
