Later it was then repeated to a collaboration with his music idol, among others, he composed for the Diana Ross Album Red Hot Rhythm & Blues song Its Hard For Me To Say. In 2000 he stood together with Diana Ross in New York on the stage (after he had sung the background already in some Diana Ross songs). About the joint appearance with Diana Ross, Luther Vandross said: What In The World Could Be Better Than This?
Vandross was a gifted arranger who could integrate vocals perfectly into the overall structure of a song. The spoke early around and he was a sought-after arranger and worked with David Bowie +++ +++ Chic Roberta Flack +++ Bette Midler +++ +++ Barbra Streisand Chaka Khan +++ +++ Frank Carly Simon Sinatra +++ +++ Stevie Wonder Whitney Houston and many more together.
Although the background vocals outgrown long ago, he helped friends and idols again and again as a studio background singer, but published in parallel their own successful albums and received the highest recognition from audiences and critics. He has won numerous music awards, including 8 Grammys including as Best R & B singer, for Song Of The Year, etc. Finally, Vandross had arrived at the top of the music world, selling more than 25 million albums.

To Album Luther Vandross - The Night I Fell In Love (1985)
Music and interpretation:
May I choose my only one original album of Luther Vandross, so it would be this! More than any other of his albums is right for me here every detail. The Night I Fell In Love is a concept album, whose songs describe a fascinating way the start, peak and end of a great love. In each case, a song always closes perfectly to the next. The arrangements are advised luxurious and sophisticated. Last but not least are all the vocals Luther moods of these great love of his life in the ebb and flow of emotions again great. The album offers a balanced mix of ballads, mid-tempo and uptempo songs (me) will never be bored.
And so I put the album as well as usually several times consecutively because I just can not get enough of it.
Apparently, others have experienced very similar and so
the album reached No. 1 on the Billboard R & B album charts,
was nominated for a Grammy and two American Music Awards,
included in the list of 100 best albums and the US music magazine Rolling Stone
Sound quality:
Excellent, well-balanced and pleasant sound.
Fortunately, the album came at a time when the bad habit of sound compression (resetting hear soft sounds almost as loud as play the loudest parts, with the result that the momentum is nuked - which obliges the listening habits of MP3 headphones - see, inter alia, the Loudness War) Wikipedia page was not yet common means of recording engineers. And this CD version from 1988 is not sound-compressed fortunately. How that is in other CD versions of the album, which arose later, however, I do not know.
Luther Vandross, suffered all his life in inherited hypertension and diabetes, got a stroke in 2003, from its consequences, he did not recover. He died - much too early - on 1 July 2005.
RIP Luther
------------
If I should still choose a second original album on CD, then it would be Luther Vandross - Busy Body, which was created 2 years ago The Night I Fell In Love and I also good like.
Other recommendations:
The deluxe version of the high-quality 4-CD Box Love Luther, which gives a great-sounding and fantastic with her booklet, a lushly illustrated overview of the life and career of this exceptional artist.
