This three-CD combo pack includes The Night I Fell in Love (1985), Give Me the Reason (1986), and Power of Love (1991) -- some of Luther Vandross' most popular albums, all of which went to the top of the R&B albums chart. This is a no-frills package, and if the arrangement looks familiar, it's because Sony did the same thing with these albums in 1998. Only the outside artwork has changed. As you can expect, some of the most significant moments of Vandross' career are in this set, such as "Stop to Love," "Give Me the Reason," "Power of Love/Love Power," and "It's Over Now." ~ Andy Kellman

The multi-talented Luther Vandross first earned recognition when a song he wrote was included in the musical THE WIZ in the early '70s, but it was his golden voice that made him one of the most sought-after session vocalists in the business. His significant contributions to David Bowie's Philly Soul-inspired YOUNG AMERICANS led to his first solo work in 1976, and subsequently, he has dwelt in the rarefied land of the platinum record as an R&B singing star with armloads of Grammys. Vandross has also been an in-demand record producer, and has sung duets with icons of soul ranging from Aretha Franklin to Mariah Carey. In 2003, Vandross went into a coma following a stroke, but learned to sing again after extensive rehabilitation. His death in 2005 robbed the world of one of its most soulful voices.
