Floodgates - Luther Grosvenor

Advantages:
Disadvantages:

...There is nothing quite like Luther Vandross, his songs are romantic and breath taking. On this greatest hits album there are a total of 16 songs, a couple are skippable, but as I said before - there's nothing quite like Luther! It has the hit song with Janet Jackson 'The Best Things in Life are Free', which is very true, and it's also a great song. Other great songs include: *Never Too Much *Sugar and Spice *Stop to love *I really didn't mean it *Love the one you're with *Any Love *Power of Love Plus a few others. This is a great album even if you're not a fan of the great Luther Vandross!... Read review

Advantages: Beautiful vocals and lyrics
Disadvantages: None to mention

...A stunning song, his lyrics really did tug at my heart strings. His vocals and lyrics blew me away the first time i heard this track. IT tends to help us go back into the past and remember the relationships we had, the feelings and emotions we shared. In most cases, i am sure that this song will draw out a few tears, such is the power of the words of this song. With all this in mind, the value for money on this CD is great and to be a part of Luther Vandross' magic for such a small price, I think that is amazing. Luther Vandross is blessed with talent and ability and he demonstrates this in his vocals on this track. I would definitely recommend this to anybody who is into any kind of music as I am sure his vocals will affect you and the way you live your life.... Read review

Advantages: Every track is faultless - Luther at his best
Disadvantages: Too many key tracks missing; Only a 1cd set - hardly an 'ultimate' collection!

...I received this as a gift from a friend and I never thought I would say this but I would not recommend buying this particular compilation. The music is outstanding Luther and I admit, this album features something from every part of his recording career - even a Change hit 'Searching' and yes, it has the original and best version of 'Dance with my father' as well as featuring the previously un-released 'Shine' which has got to be heard, especially if you are a Chic fan. The music is faultless. HOWEVER.. considering this was a joint venture between Sony and J, they could have easily released a 3 disc collection to improve upon 'The Essential Luther Vandross' which remains the true 'Ultimate Luther' in my opinion. Personally I think the fans are short-changed. 19 tracks is not enough! To not release a compilation that includes 'I... Read review
