Format:Audio CD
If you're a Luther fan (like me) you'll have noticed this album already. At first I thought it was just another compilation of some of his best love songs, but on closer inspection it is actually the 'smooth-jazz' version.

When I say 'smooth-jazz' what I actually mean is 'muzak'. Yes, you too can own the elevator versions of some of Luther's finest. Don't get me wrong, I like smooth jazz, but these are basic cover versions (mostly without vocals other than background karaoke-style backing) and lack anything like the real depth of the originals.

Particularly annoying is Dance With My Father, a sad song that should send a shiver down your spine - but this version is poor, warm and sadly lacking in any emotion (except tedium, maybe).

The notable exception to my disapointment is Lalah Hathaway's version of For Ever, For Always... Lalah is a superb singer and she does perform it with a nice interpretation. This is the saving grace that lets me give the album an extra star!

If you love Luther, I really would be surprised if you liked this. If you like the style of music it offers, you might find solace at your local DIY store!

I would have much rather seen some of Luther's closest friends and singers (Beyonce, Dionne Warwick, Aretha, Gladys Knight, Diana Ross, et al) performed their favourite Luther songs - what an album that would be.

Indeed Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 11 Aug 2004
By Raider Jack - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
I just picked up this CD and am currently listening to the track that made me rush out and get this immediately: Ledisi's version of "My Sensitivity" is alone, worth the price of admission!!!!! Equally impressive is Lalah Hathaway's awesome reading of "Forever, For Always, For Love."

This is indeed a smooth, cohesive, and thoroughly enjoyable listening experience. The choice of selections as well as the interpreters are top-notch. Even the order of the songs is the best combination considering the selection choice. Of course the only complaint I have is with "Dance With My Father" which, while the sentiment is certainly admirable, as a song it ranks right up there with Luther's worst.

But again, as a body of work, this is a high-caliber CD with wondrous performances and a more than worthy addition to your smooth jazz collection as well as an admirable tribute to one of the music industry's finest artists.

An Awesome CD!!! 19 Aug 2004
By C. Alexander - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
These artists can do no wrong, They do serious justice to Luther's songs, taking nothing away from the songs themselves! They enhance each and every song and remind you why Luther is the Maestro of Love songs! Get well soon Luther you are truly missed!

A Must Have!!! 16 Aug 2004
By Roy A. Bradford Jr. - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
For all those Luther fans out there this is a Must have CD. The artists on the tribute do an excellent job with the songs. You could just listen to it all day. My only complaint is that there aren't more tracks, but that's just me being greedy. Great job and I will be looking for more excellent collaborations like this one.
