This review is from: Busy Body (Audio CD)
There were several Luther Vandross albums I was thinking of revisiting at this unfortunate time of his passing, some that I think artistically were even better than this one, but this is one'a those records that I remember hearing from my childhood CONSTANTLY so I went with it. The production may sound a lil' dated today (but, realistically, how much from back then DOESN'T?) but man, does this music make me feel good. It's a great mixture of uptempo danceable R&B, slinky sensual grooves, and powerful ballads. It almost goes back and forth: 'I Wanted Your Love' is the perfect opener; a light, breezy backbeat and great stylish vocals; the title track slows things down to a hypnotic groove, gettin' thangs hot n' heavy. Then the tempo kicks back into dancefloor mode with the classic '80s banger 'I'll Let You Slide'. 'Make Me a Believer' I think is one' his ALL-TIME best ballads; wrtten and sung, and the duet with Dionne Warwick 'How Many times Can We Say Goodbye' is incredibly lovely on both parts. I tell you what singers these days jus' don't have the soul in them anymore (even when they try they best to). This should never, EVER be overlooked in Luther's repertoire. It's NOT his best in my opinion, but it's also NOT a misstep like some reviewers have claimed. It's fun. lively, beautiful, elegant and stirring like all great music should be. This man had an incredible, beautiful voice that got takin' for granted a lot in the past few years, and hopefully that will change for a lotta others, like it did for me in the past 24 hours. The old saying goes, You don't miss a good thing until it's gone. Well, thats true. Well, I already miss ya, Luther. And I'm sure a lotta others do too.
