Luther Vandross

2007 four CD box set, the first career-spanning celebration of the amazing artist who has sold over 30 million albums, won eight Grammy Awards and garnered 15 platinum and multi-platinum albums. From his early work as a jingle-singer and sessions with the ground-breaking studio group Change to his superstar collaborations, his voice and vision redefined the art of popular singing. 56 stunning songs on four CDs (over four hours of music) featuring three previously unreleased tracks and two previously unreleased demos. Includes collaborations with Beyonce, Aretha Franklin, Burt Bacharach, Dionne Warwick, Frank Sinatra and many others. Also contains hard-to-find twelve-inch single mixes, live performances and other surprises.

The 2006 version of The Ultimate Luther Vandross swaps out some of the earlier cuts contained on the 2001 version in favor of later material, such as "Dance with My Father" and he and Beyoncé's version of "The Closer I Get to You". What's baffling is that it leaves out some major hits in favor of a pair of previously unreleased tracks (including the Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis-produced, Chic-sampling "Shine"), and the ballad Got You Home which could serve as a sequel to Take You Out (from 2001's Luther Vandross), both of which are front-loaded in the sequence. Vandross was clearly one of the greatest singers of all time and this collection shows it.

Songs the ninth studio album by American R&B/soul singer-songwriter Luther Vandross. It was released by Epic Records on September 20, 1994. The album, a collection of cover versions, produced the singles "Endless Love", "Always and Forever", and "Ain't No Stoppin' Us Now". According to an interview both Luther and Mariah Carey had in Japan following their release of "Endless Love", there was mention that Carey had given advice as to what songs Vandross would cover in this album.
