Luther Vandross

Just heard Luther Vandross You're the sweetest one and had forgotten what a mighty fine dance track it is. Does anybody know if it ever made it onto extended 12" ? I don't think so, but I've been constantly surprised on here when people turn up gems I was not aware of.

if you like that track you'd also probably enjoy his similar song "I Wanted Your Love" (one of his best vocals ever), "See Me" (sounds a LOT like his work with Change) and "My Sensitivity (Gets in the way)".

My favourite Luther dance track is the long mix of "Til my baby comes home" the gospel organ in it is sensational.

I found my 12" of "You're the sweetest one" it's the album version 4:47

'Better Love' is another classy track from that '82 LP. 8-)

Thanks all
I know pretty much all of Luther Vandross' stuff bar the pre solo 'Luther' group (not Change)stuff. But I had forgotten about some of his great dance numbers. I am also re-discovering 'I wanted your love' and 'For the sweetness of your love'. I shall have to go pull out some more.

I have both Luther albums on Cottilion , the original version of "Dont wanna be a fool" is worth the price of the album.

I wish they had released those Cotillion LP's on CD. I haven't looked recently but I know they were usually quite expensive whenever I saw them. I think I read somewhere that Luth did not want them re-released, so I guess although I would love to have them on CD it would be disrespectful if the record company did now release them after his demise. Although I might be in a dilema if they did. On the other hand I could be mistaken in my recollection of him not wanting them released.
