Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com
Not his best record--then again, none of them are, though every single one ought to be. Vandross was the first one to come down with Whitney's Syndrome, meaning he's got the chops, but not the taste. Not that he's got the chops to be Al Green (or, for that matter, Barry White), but Vandross on this disc is more frustrating than exhilarating. The man's got it in him, and sometimes, you wonder if he'll ever find it. --Robert Wilonsky

5.0 out of 5 stars ROBERT W. IS INSANE!!!, January 31, 2003

By	Scott C Elliott "NUBUZZ" (New York City, NY) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Any Love (Audio CD)

First of all I am appalled at some of your editor reviewers. What planet do some of them come from? Luther - the man who put the dance band CHANGE on the map, the man who did the amazing vocal arrangements for David Bowie's groundbreaking YOUNG AMERICANS & toured with Bowie for many years, who lulled us all into love in the 80's - has the chops & then some with some truly great albums. And this one, with I Wonder, Any Love (whew!), For You To Love (Ouch!! Incredible!!), I Wonder & the cover of Love Won't Let Me Wait (This song nearly belongs to HIM now!!!)Pretty much all of his recordings until Power of Love, which in my opinion is the beginning of his potency loss. Sorry, but as great as Barry White is, Luther could mop the floor with him. And he is right up there with AL Green. I don't wish to compare these great men, however. But the Wilonsky must be doing some bad drugs if he thinks for one minute he knows of what he speaks!!! Anyone who agrees with me, give me an amen!!! I saw Luther live on tour with Anita Baker in NYC when this album was out and he nearly blew Ms. Baker off the stage. And this was when she could do no wrong (early in her boom period). He had the women in the audience nearly fainting in their seats and the men hooping & hollering & slapping five to his power. These days it seems his selection & production may need a bit of viagra, but he's still the King of Romance, with maybe MAXWELL at his heels. Make no mistake - LUTHER IS THE GREATEST!!! Amen!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Any Love, June 5, 2001

By	Brenda Taylor (Down Under) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Any Love (Audio CD)

This was my intro to smooth voiced Luther. I'm buying the CD to replace the worn out tape. I just love (this is going to get a bit "lovey") Are You Gonna Love Me? and I Came Here For You to Love. I don't think there's a song on here that I haven't thoroughly enjoyed!

I don't know what Robert Wilonsky is on about in his editorial review. I strongly disagree. If you like Luther, then Any Love is a timeless must have.

So many hours spent driving down the H2 highway with windows/sunroof open and Luther cranking as I bopped and sung along soaking up the Hawaiian sunshine and/or moonlight! (Lots of memories here - sorry)

5.0 out of 5 stars The upbeat of this song is fantastic., August 23, 1998

By	[e-mail] (Washington, D.C., USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Any Love (Audio CD)

Any song by Luther suits my needs. Any Love or Power of Love, you can't go wrong in listening. Each song gives me what I need to get through my DAY. Yes, I would love to meet him in person one day and tell him, Thanks for all the SONGS.
