Luther Vandross于1951年4月20日出生于美国纽约最北部的Bronx区，作为最伟大的黑人男歌手之一，拥有超过两千万张的唱片销售记录，被他富有魔力的嗓音所征服的听众数以亿计。 在R&B音乐这个年轻人的世界里，Luther Vandross称得上是大器晚成，直到他三十岁时才发行了第一张专辑《Never Too Much》，之后便一发不可收，之后的十三张专辑都达到了白金销量，被称为是80年代R&B音乐三巨头之一。 Luther Vandross不仅是一名出色而成功的歌手，而且他还是一名成功的词曲作者和唱片制作人，他参与了Stevie Wonder，Lionel Richie，Whitney Houston, Aretha Franklin, Dionne Warwick和Cheryl Lynn等著名歌星专辑的录制，并与Mariah Carey等歌星有合作。在第33，34，39届格莱美奖中三次获得最佳R&B男歌手奖，歌曲《Power Of Love/Love Power》还获得了第34届格莱美最佳R&B歌曲奖。在他近三十年的音乐生涯中，共出版了17张专辑，15张精选，以及数十首单曲。 2003年6月10日发行了他的最新专辑《Dance With My Father》, Luther Vandross在逝世前的遗作（逝于2005年7月1日，享年54岁），一张充满了亲情之作。首推的曲目必是获得04年Grammy年度最佳歌曲的专辑同名曲《Dance With My Father》！也正是因为这首歌让我认识了这位R&B大师，今天来听听他的另一首深情之作《I'D Rather》 。 [mp3]http://0204002.inetradio.cn/res/621/media/3257.mp3[/mp3]
