Luther Vandross, the singer with the deep, soft soul voice, is considered "the male counterpart to Whitney Houston" (Rowohlt Rock Lexikon). This 4CD box contains the best of the best of three decades (1973 - 2003) his career as a singer, songwriter and producer. In April 2003, he suffered a few days before his 52nd birthday a severe stroke with pneumonia, at whose consequences he died in 2005. This "Best Of" -Zusammenstellung includes not only all his Grammy-winning songs "Here And Now" (1991), "Power Of Love" (1992), "Your Secret Love" (1997) and "Dance With My Father" (2003) his musicological duets with Dolores Hall, Cheryl Lynn, Dionne Warwick, Gregory Hines, Beyonce, Aretha Franklin and Frank Sinatra. Additional unreleased demos (2) and recordings of "Montserrat Session 1986 '(3) make this Soul box with her R & B-album tracks, Pop crossover hit singles and live recordings (total: 56) and the excellent edited 60-page deluxe booklet for me at an extraordinarily competently compiled legacy of the singer with the "velvet smoothness" (Rolling Stone) in his voice.
