Summary: Cannot get enough of Luther Vandross
Comment: I bought this as a birthday present for my sister, and she absolutely adores it! If you love music, especially music by Luther Vandross, this is well worth the investment for the price--four cds of nothing but Luther Vandross plus a book about his life. My sister has not been able to put it down yet, and she keeps the discs right next to her bed!
Customer Rating:
Summary: She Loves Me Back is on here!
Comment: It is VERY hard to find his earlier song, "She Loves Me Back" on a CD, and since that's my all-time favorite Luther song, I think this box set is worth it for that alone. I tend to favor his earlier recordings even more than his later songs, so I appreciate that this song was included on here. That said, any Luther fan will enjoy all of these songs, of course, in one neat package.

Summary: Love, Luther
Comment: Anything 'Luther' pleases me, and "Love, Luther" did not disappoint me. The personal information about this fantastic artist was informative, funny, poignant, and insightful. Thank you for making this Luther collection available to me!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Forever, For Always, For Luther...
Comment: (4 and a half stars) If you are like me you had those first five or six Luther albums and fell in love with songs like 'Forever...', 'My Sensitivity' and 'Wait For Love.' When I first saw this it seemed incomplete. Where was 'Make Me a Believer' for example? After hearing this box set I had a more complete picture of who Luther was. Luther the vocal arranger on so many popular songs, and all of the additional artists he worked with in addition to those I already knew. The songs that are chosen are career spanning (there's even 'Dance With My Father.') There are demos, rare 12" versions, a few live cuts and two 'new' tracks that you will really love hearing for the first time. The long box, essay and track listing are really great as well. In short it gives a concise complete picture of this much loved and much missed artist.

Summary: Give up the love for this box set!
Comment: What is with all the nit-picking about this box set? The purpose of this box set is to give an overview of Luther Vandross's career, and it does an excellent job of that. This set DOES have some rarities, yet the hardcore fans complain there are not enough. That was not the purpose of this collection. It is not a B-sides/rarities compilation, but rather an anthology of his career. There are complaints that not all of Vandross's charted hits are here. Yes, not all of the songs that charted below number 60 on the Billboard charts are here, but it's not a major oversight and it's not like the collection leaves off his major classics.
The sound is excellent. The '80s hits sound crisp and fresh as ever. The liner notes are well-written and not exhaustive. Songs come in extended or original form, not cut up or edited like so many other compilations. How can you complain when you get the rare, extended version of "Never Too Much"? Certainly not me. You get excellent live versions of "Searching", "Always & Forever" and "A House is Not A Home". You even get a sample of his producing abilities, with the full-length version of Aretha Franklin's "Jump to It". I think that's a smart move on the compilers' part; Vandross was a huge fan of divas like Aretha and he was prolific in his production skills.
It's rare that I can listen to a box set all the way through. Yet "Love, Luther" is such a consistently good listen, that you can enjoy it straight through from disc one to disc four. In fact, the collection just gets better and better with each disc, and each disc stands on its own.
Even if some of Luther's music sounds very much from the era it was recorded, he was a talented artist who had great taste in song choices and production. This production really is a labor of love.

THE FIRST CAREER-SPANNING COLLECTION BY LUTHER VANDROSS Featuring:
56 stunning songs on 4 CDs -- over 4 hours of music!
Breathtaking ballads, funky favorites, demos and all the #1 hits
Intimate moments with Luther at rehearsal
Deluxe 60-page book includes rare photos and memories from the Vandross family album
A powerful essay plus a beautiful poem from Luther's mother
Featuring the exclusive new single "There's Only You"
"Luther Vandross: singer, songwriter, masterful producer, pop balladeer, blues and jazz stylist, soul crooner, torch singer, chansonnier. He made baby-making music that doubled as the soundtrack to nearly unbearable loneliness and isolation, themselves the result of heartbreak or heartache. The yin and yang of joy and emotional despair played out in his music, with one always hinting at or acknowledging the other. With his death, an era came to an end." --from the liner notes by Ernest Hardy
