Review - 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 WilonskyCustomer review - 2003-01-31
- ROBERT W. IS INSANE!!!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!!!

- Any LoveThis 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)

- The upbeat of this song is fantastic.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.

- Luther is the Best!I agree with Nubuzz, Brenda and Bgraves totally!!! All of his songs brings something special into my heart and relationships! There is not one single song of Luther's that I dislike!!! The man is just great! And like Brenda, I have spent many nights driving on the streets and highways just listening to him with the sunroof open and all windows down! He is a truly GREAT, GREAT, very talented man!! I don't know what is wrong with Robert W., but the man needs some serious help!!! My love and prayers goes out to Luther, his family and all the Luther fans out there! God Bless you all!! Jeanine

- Amen!!I agree with nubuzz and brenda. This is a quality Luther CD with not 1 weak song on it. I bought it not long ago, to replace the tape i had (and cos i can never find 'I Know You Want To' to download!). Although Any Love and Love Won't Let Me Wait are the only big hits from this CD, any Luther fan will enjoy every song on the CD. That editorial reviewer obviously just doesn't like Luther! Or his style of music. Trust me everyone, this is an essential Luther Vandross CD to add to your collection. Peace Out...
