“Forever, For Always, For Love” by Luther Vandross - album review
features in: Album Chart of 1982 → ● Album Chart of the Decade: 1980s → |
The words 'Contemporary R n B' alone are enough to contort my face and fill me with dread, and Vandross is one of the worst offenders, even if his albums do make #1 in such charts. 45 minutes with this garbage is torture enough, and don't even get me started about his talking to God on record. Aparts from his own crap, he murders “Having A Party” (Sam Cooke, 1962) and “Since I Lost My Baby” (The Temptations, 1965). If someone ever hands me a free pile of LPs again, I swear I will throw any Luther Vandross in the bin rather than suffer another wretched endurance test such as this.
