5.0 out of 5 stars Another collection of Luther Vandross masterpieces., June 13, 1999

This review is from: One Night With You: The Best Of Love, Vol. 2 (Audio CD)

I bought this album for "When You Call On Me," with R. Kelly, though I also like it for including the most memorable hits from 1991 to 1996. It just proves to me that Luther Vandross is the quintessential American singer of the 20th century.

This review is from: One Night With You: The Best Of Love, Vol. 2 (Audio CD)

I would actually give this album four-and-a-half stars. The second volume of THE BEST OF LOVE covers most of Luther's nineties hits for Epic, and was his last official release on the label. The impressive stream of hits includes the smash hits "Power of Love/Love Power" (#4 Pop, #1 R&B, #3 Adult Contemporary), "Don't Want To Be a Fool" (#9 Pop, #4 R&B, #14 Adult Contemporary), "The Best Things In Life Are Free" (#10 Pop, #1 R&B, #3 Dance), and "Endless Love" (#2 Pop, #7 R&B, #11 Adult Contemporary). Also included are the R&B hits "Little Miracles" (#62 Pop, #10 R&B) and "Your Secret Love" (#52 Pop, #5 R&B), as well a few lower-charting singles - "Love the One You're With" (#95 Pop, #28 R&B), "Always and Forever" (#58 Pop, #16 R&B, #25 Adult Contemporary), and "I Can Make It Better" (#80 Pop, #15 R&B) - all three of which should have been much more successful.

The disc is rounded out by four newly-recorded songs, an okay remix of "Love Don't Love You," and Luther's exceptional, but out-of-place, rendition of "My Favorite Things." All of the four new songs are fine and nice to have, but only the cut by Jam & Lewis ("I Won't Let You Do That To Me") really stands out. While all of Luther's pop hits from this time period are here, I do wish that more of his R&B and adult contemporary hits, like "The Rush" (#73 Pop, #6 R&B) and "Sometimes It's Only Love" (#9 R&B, #9 Adult Contemporary), were included. However, THE BEST OF LOVE VOLUME 2 covers most of the bases, and is an excellent bookend to the first BEST OF LOVE. Bizarrely, even with the new material included, this compilation only reached #44 on the Hot 200 (Luther's lowest-charting album) and his first not to reach Platinum status in sales.
