The Greatest Hits

Product Information

The original recording of the track was from 1994, around the time of the album release ‘Never Let Me Go’. There is a lot of overlap with Best Of -- it shares no less than nine tracks with that collection -- but it also has such-'90s hits as "Don't Want to Be a Fool" and "Power of Love / Love Power. The Best of Love is the first compilation album by American singer Luther Vandross, released on October 4, 1989.

It was always going to be tough covering arguably the greatest love song duet of all time, originally by Lionel Richie and Diana Ross. This track was a Grammy-nominated duet between Luther and Janet Jackson, recorded for the Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis-produced soundtrack to the 1992 film, Mo' Money.Luther Vandross' 1999 Greatest Hits may not be as generous as 1989's The Best of Luther Vandross, which contained 20 tracks on two discs, but it's a good, concise, 14-track collection that includes many of his very best songs.

However, Best Of does cover Vandross' prime period better, and since Greatest Hits covers much of that same territory while missing several big-'90s hits, it isn't quite all it could be. The song was later remixed by David Morales, Frankie Knuckles, and CJ Mackintosh, and it became an international hit. The lead single from his Give Me the Reason album, Luther reached the top 30 in the UK with this upbeat favourite. Luther Vandross ‘The Greatest Hits’ includes 16 tracks spanning Luther’s three decade career including hits ‘Never Too Much’ and ‘Dance With My Father’, as well as his famous collaborations with Beyoncé on ‘The Closer I Get To You’ and Mariah Carey on ‘Endless Love’.The 103 third parties who use cookies on this service do so for their purposes of displaying and measuring personalized ads, generating audience insights, and developing and improving products.

Luther Vandross produced Dionne Warwick's album of the same name in 1983, and teamed up with her for a duet on the title track. Luther Vandross had one of the all-time greatest singing voices, from his time as an in-demand backing singer to going solo in the '80s. It's always shocking to hear that this song came out as late as 2003, as it sounds so timeless that you expected it to have been around forever.Luther's first ever solo single is also one of his best, and is still a truly fantastic disco pop song. However, it became one of Luther's best loved songs, and was first recorded by Dionne Warwick on her aforementioned album How Many Times Can We Say Goodbye.

years after his death at the age of 54, he's still celebrated as one of the most talented performers of his generation. Essentially, it's for casual fans who want all the big hits on one disc -- serious listeners will want to stick with Best Of. However, Luther and Mariah were up to the task, scoring a massive international hit from his Songs covers album in 1994. The album will also feature a bonus, previously unreleased track from the archives, ‘Love It, Love It’, which brings back the upbeat and soulful sounds of the much loved multi-platinum-selling artist.
