Editorial Reviews

Luther Vandross’ sound has virtually been the soundtrack of R&B over the past 20 years. The veteran R&B singer first realized his love of music as a youngster going to the legendary Apollo Theater in his native Harlem, N.Y. He listened to the radio constantly and developed a love for the classic soul of the sixties and seventies. Since then Luther has gone on to develop a smooth classic soul sound that is his alone, when you hear one of his songs there is no question that the voice behind the music is Luther. BET’s Journeys In Black takes you backstage and behind the scenes to explore the man behind one of the greatest voices in the history of music.

This review is from: Journeys in Black: Luther Vandross (DVD)

Excellent DVD, Luther talks about him and the things that went on in his life. This dvd is the only one that I know of that has Luther actually doing an interview. Many people are on the dvd but most of it is Luther. A must have for Luther fans.

This review is from: Journeys in Black: Luther Vandross (DVD)

My onlly regret is that this documentary wasn't longer. It gave a very concise and complete history of the life and music of Luther Vandross. It's a must have for a artist collection on dvd.

This review is from: Journeys in Black: Luther Vandross (DVD)

this DVD surrounds itself with enlightening viewers of the fulfilling life of Luther Vandross. his accomplishments, his rises and falls...which were far and few in between, as this singer/songwriter maintained a steady climb, safely and most assuredly to the top.

I would highly recommend this DVD to any and all desiring to see Luther and learn of a great one who has graced our presence and left his mark on all of our hearts.
thank you BET, for this legacy.
