LV:The Golden Years. Mar 20, 2007
There are plenty LV compilations out there,but I've had this one since it was released.And it sounds pretty good to me.I could complain about this song or that song not being on here but instead I'll talk about what IS here.This collection was released in 1989 so it covers LV 1981-1989.A couple of Change tracks from 1980 make it 1980-1989.
Can you honestly look at the song listing above and say something like "Yuck,that don't sound like it's right..." Yeah,right.
In closing I'll say this:Of the 20 tracks,the weakest selection in my opinion is "Treat You Right".Next to the other 19 tracks,it's a litle lacking.

I bought this CD for my dad for Christmas and he loved it! It's such a good price for the amount of songs on it.

 Mixed Blessing May 29, 2006
The death of Marvin Gaye left a hole in the R&B community that has never been filled, and R&B has been in decline ever since. Babyface is frankly too effeminate to step up; Luther Vandross was our best hope. Vandross was irrefutably male, had a great voice, and possessed amazing sensitivity. Unfortunately he was the victim of inconsistent material and goopy overproduction. This 2-CD anthology demonstrates the syndrome, when it's good, it's frighteningly good, but it's frequently bad and sometimes awful.
The cover of Marvin Gaye's If This World Were Mine sounds like it's on Quaaludes, simply soporific. The same could be said of Superstar, which is a dreadful song to begin with and here is stretched to the point where you're begging it to stop. A House Is Not A Home is equally slow, but the production is sparse and Vandross is free to nurse the genuine emotion from it. The jewel on Disk One is `Til My Baby Comes Home, good funk and purpose. Disk Two provides much more to be happy about. Stop To Love cooks, So Amazing is a three-hankie masterpiece, Give Me A Reason is one of those satisfying feeling-bitter kickers, and Any Love has a beautiful, anthemic quality. In short, this two-CD anthology embodies Luther's career perfectly. With better management and material Vandross really could have deserved a 2-CD Best Of anthology. As it is, what you have here is enough material to fill a superb single CD Best Of anthology. As far as I'm concerned, that still makes it a value, and well worth getting.
