Take some time today, listen to some Luther and enjoy the greatness. Luther is one of the true greats and today we recognize him and his legacy. The album ended up selling 3 million copies, making it Luther's biggest selling studio album and solidified his legendary status in the game.
The album featured the huge title track as well as appearances from Foxy Brown, Queen Latifah and a duet cover of "The Closer I Get To You" with Beyonce. Well Im so disappointed youre gone tonight Cause your love is the spice of my life But if you hurry back in the mornin Then, alright, Ill let you slide tonight Up and down, pacing around, walking in my sleep Cause youve got a promise to keep Youve got to come back And love, love, love, love me right And, huh, Ill let you slide tonight. For a man who racked up consistent platinum plaques in the 80s and 90s, Luther ended up doing something amazing by having his highest selling album come in 2003 on his final album "Dance With My Father". He was nominated for a Grammy for the song "Any Day Now" off that album as well.
In the same Vibe interview, Vandross admitted that he had never been in love. The hook inspired Jay-Z and his "Excuse Me Miss" track and spawned even more people utilizing that into their music. Like any Black gay man, closeted or not, Vandross only desired what anyone wanted out of life: love and happiness. For example, his self titled album in 2001, which featured the huge single and game changer "Take You Out". No one could truly possess the power in the voice that he brought forth, as well as his ability to coast through the decades. With classics like "Here and Now", "Don't Want To Be a Fool", "Power Of Love", "Your Secret Love", and so many others, Luther created timeless music and I would consider him one of the greatest singers of our time. Those songs are timeless and I instantly sing along to this every single time. Give Me The Reason features two of my favorite Luther songs of all time: "There's Nothing Better Than Love" which features Gregory Hines, and the classic "So Amazing", which Bee mentioned. Songs the ninth studio album by American R&B/soul singer-songwriter Luther Vandross.It was released by Epic Records on September 20, 1994. My personal favorite album of his was The Night I Fell In Love, his double platinum 1985 release, with the follow up to that, the also double platinum Give Me The Reason right there with it. Luther was truly one of the most consistent stars in the 80s and released platinum album after platinum every year it seemed. Around the corner was a live music spot called ‘At My Place.’. At the time I had an apartment near the Santa Monica Pier. The moment I heard "Superstar", I think I played it 8 times over and over, and we all know how long the damn song is, so that speaks to the greatness of the music. Tuesday, J(original posting date) I first met Luther Vandross when he lived in Los Angeles. After that, my mother would play more Luther over the years and I instantly felt compelled to listen to more. I had never heard Dionne Warwick and her version at the time (I was only 4 so pardon me), but Luther killed his version and it was amazing to me then. Later on the same album, I would hear the classic "A House Is Not A Home" and once again, that instantly hooked me. You know, you know, you know My baby, my baby, my baby My love Yeah (yeah) yeah (yeah) (Come closer love) Come a little closer so that we can see Into the eyes of love I want to see into those eyes of love (Come closer, love) Just a little closer let me speak to you I want to softly tell you something Here I am, here's my love, I just want you. It was the moment I truly got hip to Luther, his music and his talent. "A thousand kisses from you is never too much.and I just don't wanna stop" The hook and the infectious nature of the song instantly hooked me. I had already heard the legendary sounds of artists like Michael Jackson and Marvin Gaye, but one day, my mother was in the kitchen making breakfast and cut on Luther's debut album and the sounds of "Never Too Much" came out the speakers. But yeah, I chose the biggest artists and my favourite tunes of all time.Fondest memory of Luther and his music was when I was about 4 years old.
