Needless to say, the song is priceless and pure Luther! However, the words and music are still the same. I guess that explains the slight change in the title of the re-release. The most memorable song was "The 2nd Time Around", (side one, song #2, six minutes, twenty five seconds long).Īfter receiving much fan fare and questions as a solo artist about The 2nd Time Around, Luther decided to re-release the song. The album containing this song (Cotillion SD 9907) was titled "Luther" also, and contained seven songs, all written by Mr Vandross. Luther and his then three member group, recorded two albums on the Cotillion label under the name LUTHER. Cotillion operated from 1960 - 1985 as a subsidiary of Atlantic Records. In 1976 Luther Vandross first released this song, then titled "The 2nd Time Around" for the now defunct Cotillion Record label. Track #9, Second Time Around makes this album/ cd worth the purchase.
Make no mistake - LUTHER IS THE GREATEST!!! Amen!!!
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. He had the women in the audience nearly fainting in their seats and the men hooping & hollering & slapping five to his power. And this was when she could do no wrong (early in her boom period). 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. I don't wish to compare these great men, however. Sorry, but as great as Barry White is, Luther could mop the floor with him.
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. 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. First of all I am appalled at some of your editor reviewers.
