Classic 80s work from
Luther Vandross – the kind of record that catapulted him from the soul music shadows into the major mainstream of the time! The style here is a fair bit more electric than some of
Luther's music of the 70s, but the sound is still silky, soulful, and sensuous – thanks to
Vandross' amazing vocal approach, which is undeniably one of the greatest of his generation. The tunes often have a snaking midtempo rhythm that works perfectly for
Luther's groove – and while a few more numbers get a bit more upbeat, they're still never too over the top, nor commercial in nature.
Vandross produced, with some help from Marcus Miller – and titles include "Superstar/
Until You Come Back To Me", "For The Sweetness Of Your Love", "I Wanted Your Love", "Busy Body", "Make Me A Believer", "I'll Let You Slide", and "How Many Times Can We Say Goodbye" – a duet with Dionne Warwick.
