Amazon.com essential recording
The classiest of R&B's lover men, Luther Vandross eschews the sweaty soul intensity of his predecessors for a silky-smooth sound that achieves its romantic aims nonetheless. In the hands of a lesser artist, Vandross's narrow focus on love songs would seem restrictive, but he somehow finds endlessly entertaining ways of conveying simple messages like "I love you," "I miss you," and "Why did you leave me?" The Best of Love is just that--a 20-song retrospective that clocks Vandross's brilliant career through its first decade, including such gems as his gorgeous reworking of the Bacharach-David chestnut "A House Is Not a Home," Smokey Robinson's "Since I Lost My Baby," and his own early hit "Never Too Much." Vandross was a staple on the R&B charts throughout the '80s, but the set culminates with "Here and Now," his 1989 crossover smash. Since then, Luther has belonged to everyone; this set shows it should have been that way all along. --Daniel Durchholz

Customer Reviews

recieved great product
i ordered two cd's which came in perfect condtion. luther van dross is the singer. i have always recieved a good product from amazon.

LV:The Golden Years.
There are plenty LV compilations out there,but I've had this one since it was released.And it sounds pretty good to me.I could complain about this song or that song not being on here but instead I'll talk about what IS here.This collection was released in 1989 so it covers LV 1981-1989.A couple of Change tracks from 1980 make it 1980-1989.
Can you honestly look at the song listing above and say something like "Yuck,that don't sound like it's right..." Yeah,right.

In closing I'll say this:Of the 20 tracks,the weakest selection in my opinion is "Treat You Right".Next to the other 19 tracks,it's a litle lacking.

RIP

the perfect Christmas present
I bought this CD for my dad for Christmas and he loved it! It's such a good price for the amount of songs on it.
