Luther was the king from the moment of his first ALBUM (remember those) release. Many artists have tried to and none of them has even come close to the magic Luther could do with a song. There are a lot of babies and marriages in this world thanks to Luther and I know for one, I'm going to miss him. There no point of listing my faves on this CD since I love them all.

I fell in love with you, before the second show. Don't you remember you told me you love me baby?

The version of Songbird that Luther pulls off in this compilation is heartfelt, soulful, and oh so sweet.

The world has certainly lost one of the great musical talents of our era.

A must have.

Luther Vandross tiene alma, sentimiento y una bellísima voz ... probablemente sea el mejor vocalista de R&B de los últimos 20 años, sus canciones logran hacerte sentir de una manera especial...logran incluso hacerte llorar, tengo la suerte de tener toda su obra y sinceramente esta recopilación aún faltando algunas canciones refleja su obra y su sentimiento, sin duda nos hace sentirnos enamorados de nuevo... gracias Luther que Dios te acompañe seguro que estará feliz de escucharte allá en el cielo (tiene suerte de tenerte a su lado) .... GOD BLESS YOU

When I like an artist but don't love the artist enough to buy all their albums, I'm one of those people who waits to buy the "best of" album. Usually there are several songs selected as "best of" that aren't my favorites and I wonder why certain other songs weren't picked. However, on this album all the songs are great and really representative of the wonderful songs Luther Vandross performed over his career.

this is a very good cd; the quality of the cd is in excellent condition. i am very pleased with this transaction. keep up the great job!

Before the passing of Luther Vandross. I had already had a collection of Luther's CD's, although the reason for purchasing this Cd was because of one song that was not in my collection and that was: Don't want to be a fool. Although he is gone from our presence but not oour thoughts and he will be sorely missed. His songs still touches and miniisters love and will forever help me to get through whatever I am going through at that present time. Whether it'S getting over a love or inviting in a new love. Luther is the one to listen to when you are in the game called LOVE!.

What a voice. Luther was the master at sweet soul seduction. He could also get funky too. One of the best soul stars ... up their with Barry White/Marvin Gaye .. will be missed.

This CD has all of Luther's greatest hits. This album contains the best R and B music from one of the most popular male artists from the last 25 years. I love all the tracks on this album. My favorite song is Never Too Much. This was one of Luther's first hits in the early 80's. It is a classic R and B track that still gets me moving. Give Me The Reason is another one of my favorite dance jams. Here and Now is another highlight for me on this CD. This is one of the prettiest love songs I've ever heard. There's Nothing Better Than Love is another excellent song about how it feels to be in love with someone.

Luther can also sing about falling out of love with someone. I love his beautiful duet with Dionne Warwick entitled How Many Times Can We Say Goodbye. It is a bittersweet tune about the pain of breaking up with someone. A Home is Not A Home is a classic about how a home can be a strong symbol of love even when a couple is apart from each other. Luther's voice really moves the listener on this track. The music of Luther Vandross will live on forever.

I purchased this album a couple of years ago. Because, I wanted a sample of his Greatest Hits. I wanted to hear Luther Amazing So Amazing Voice and these songs showcased. This album is a good start to some of his Finest Songs and That So Amazing Original Voice. There will never be another Luther. He is what you would call a Original a Talent Supreme with his recent passing July 1, 2005, this commentary or review is so very late coming from me. But, Luther voice spoke for itself. He was that SO GREAT!!!!!!! Thank God for a Romantic Musician & Singer (The Velvet Voice) The One

You never tired of this Incredibly Blessed & Talent Man, who didn't have to result to lowest demoninator to provide Great and Amazing Music. God Bless You Luther.

I would encourage anyone and everyone to purchase this Greatest Hits Album to get a sample of his music and his voice. This is a good start to get to Know Luther Vandross and his So Very Amazing Voice and Music. It missing some classic songs from Luther but, that is okay.

LUTHER, YOU WILL BE THE MAN "ALWAYS AND FOREVER" GOD BLESS YOU AND REST IN PEACE! I LOVE YOU!

His voice was magical and the music brilliant. He will be so sorely missed. This album is fantastic for people who aren't so familiar with his music because there is a big scope of his recordings here. His voice is unlike anyone else's and there will never be another artist ever like Luther. I am so sorry that we will never hear new music from him again, but at least his voice goes on in these great albums.

One only has to look at the songs contained on this cd to realize the scope and depth of this man's talent. From old rock classics of the seventies, (Steve Stills "Love the One Your With" to his take on the Classic Bert Bacharach "House is Not a Home," Luther has made each of these songs his own. With his smooth smokey croon, Vandross was never to be imitated. The world will moarn the loss of his gentle soul and heartfelt voice.....Luther we miss you already.

Any greatest hits album is destined to be lacking a few hits. There's no way to select every song that anyone ever loved. But this one is lacking a few major hits. "If Only For One Night," "Love Won't Let Me Wait," "If This World Were Mine," and "Anyone Who Had A Heart" are all absent from this collection. I've yet to find a collection of Luther's music that includes all of his truly "great" songs, so I've decided to make my own. I'd suggest that people interested in a complete collection of hits (who don't want to have to buy 3 or 4 CDs) do the same.

See my comments re DANCE WITH MY FATHER.

Luther's voice just does it for me. Calms my nerves, relaxes my soul and adjusts my attitude!

This a great cd to put on when you want to unwind. Luther has a great soulful voice.

Luther Vandross is a consumate artist,making some classic songs his own (House is not a home,etc.) What can I say about luther other than without his music genius I wouldn't have kids (6 kids at that--I even name my boy luther)Apart from adding the population explosion in the world today thru his songs Luther will always be Luther Vandross-a one of a kind........

Luther Vandross' "Luther Vandross: Greatest Hits" is a good album filled with many of the Luther's best songs. The songs talk about love, loss, desire, and sensuality. Luther Vandross' voice is so velvety smooth that you instantly become engrossed in the songs.

Of course there are some songs that could have been left off of this CD, and others that should have been added, but overall, this is a pretty good CD, especially for a Luther fan. I would suggest this CD to fan of Luther as well as people who want to hear good music by one of the greatest singers of our time.

I just wanted to say I am ENJOYING this mix of Luther's Greatest Hits.

Luther's voice is unmatched and his gift of song is a spectacular treat to hear over and over again.

I must plug the song "Superstar" because of my great love for piano. Nat Adderly Jr's featured piano lead throughout the song makes me listen over and over again.

I am also a Gregory Hines fan, and the duet "There's Nothing Better Than Love" speaks for itself. (by the way Mr. Hines, I enjoyed your vocal, but you can dance for me ANYTIME!!)

NO ONE can sing Burt Bachrach's song "A House Is Not A Home" like Luther. The only other rendition that stands out is Joe Sample's piano interpretation from the "Invitation" CD of standards.

Luther, if I may borrow one of your earliest hits, a thousand ballads from you is "Never Too Much!"

Why he has so many 'Greatest Hits' CDs out is beyond me. Many of these songs were on several of his previous hits CDs.

The selections on here are rather decent however and are among some of his most popular songs of his career.

My favorite songs on here are Never Too Much, Give Me The Reason, Power Of Love, & So Amazing. The rest of this CD is enjoyable too.

However I have to complain about the excessive hits CDs that his record labels have put out over the years. Power Of Love, Here & Now, & Always & Forever are on so many CDs, both Greatest Hits as well as on various artists albums too. It diminishes the power that the songs on here have.

I just wish that Luthers works weren't so excessivly marketed on so many hits CDs because to me the punch that some of his best works had back in their day has been weakened.

I for one would have to say that it is best to just get all of Luther Vandross' parent albums but if you decide to get one of his hits collections I suggest getting this one. Leave the rest of his other hits CD alone except maybe his 1997 release with that contains The Best Things In Life Are Free, his 1992 duet with Janet Jackson & When You Call On Me/Baby That's When I Come Running because at least that album offers a rare song from Janet and the new(at the time) song.

Avoid The Ultimate Luther Vandross collection that was released last year because it offers nothing new. Just more of the same songs that the previous collections offered.

Luther Vandross is one of the few soul singers that really knows how to wow the ladies. His 1999 Greatest Hits Album, displays his natural talent with every way his music goes.

Although it remains as a combination of his previous greatest hits albums, Best Of Volumes 1 & 2, the album still proves that he can pack a punch. The songs that are highlighted range from standards like Power Of Love / Love Power & Here And Now, to his dynamic duets with Dionne Warwick (How Many Times Can We Say Goodbye) and Gregory Hines (There's Nothing Better Than Love).

While many radio stations still prefer Teen Idols and Rap music, it is nice to hear a seductive escape from the Top 40 mayhem. With that thought in mind, Luther Vandross remains as one of those few artists worth escaping to.

Luther Vandross is such a great singer. His vocal talents are undeniable. There are many nice moments on this record, including his treatment of the songs "Never Too Much," "Superstar/Until You Come Back to Me" and especially "A House is Not a Home." You listen, and you are in awe of the guy's vocal talent.

My only quibble is with the syrupy slick production on a number of the tracks.

LUTHER HAS ALWAYS BEEN AN INSPIRATION TO ME.HIS VOICE JUST LIGHTS UP A ROOM. LUTHER HAS THE TYPE OF VOICE WHERE HE DOESN'T HAVE TO SPIT GAME TO A WOMAN ALL HE HAVE TO DO IS WOOWOOWOOO AND SHE WOULD BE AT HIS FEET BEFORE HE CAN FINISH. IT'S SOMETHING ABOUT THAT VOICE.

I have alway loved Luther Vandross, and watching the "BET Walk of Fame Awards" made me want to get the "Best Of" CD. Luther is the best in love song.

A truly enjoyable collection of Luther's hits. I highly recommend it!!

I LOVE MUSIC LIKE THIS. ITS GREAT FOR ROMANCE IN BED, DINNER OR BY THE FIREPLACE. WITH THE ONE YOU LOVE. HOW EVER YOU WANT TO SHARE THE MUSIC, ITS BEAUTIFUL.

This is a Must.The Songs Here Reflect The Genius&Creativity Of Luther Vandross.He Is a Great Talent.The Songs here are Timeless.A House is Not a Home,Never too Much,Superstar,etc...These Songs are Classics.

These are clearly classic Luther tunes from his great Epic Records years. The CD is a streamlined, updated, reprocessed, repackaged version of the double CD set some years back. I love the fact that one of my favorite tunes "Don't Want To Be A Fool" is included...I hate it that "The Rush" and the "If This World Were Mine" duet with the fabuloso Cheryl Lynn didn't make the cut...but nevermind that! This is still one of the best CDs, ever! I was pleased to have it in my collection, and I think the Amazon.com shopper will, too.
