| | Luther Vandross Live At Radio City Music Hall 2003 Soundtrack CD (3 Customer Reviews)
Recorded live at Radio City Music Hall, New York, New York on February 11 & 12, 2003.
One listen to RADIO CITY MUSIC HALL 2003 LIVE and it's hard to believe that two months later, musical great Luther Vandross would be laid up in a hospital bed, the victim of a stroke. Part of the disbelief that comes from the this observation is due to how vibrant Vandross sounds throughout these 11 career-spanning cuts. Accompanied by a seven-piece band and a quartet of female background singers, Luther poured his honeyed croon over some of his best-loved ballads including his trademark cover of the Hal David/Burt Bacharach standard "A House Is Not a Home" and his own perennial prom/wedding song "Here and Now." Other nuggets plucked from the Vandross canon include the crackling "Never Too Much," the uplifting "Power of Love," and "Glow of Love," a song originally recorded by the vocalist when he was a member of the disco outfit Change. Hearing how full of life Luther Vandross is on stage during RADIO CITY MUSIC HALL 2003 LIVE serves as a welcome reminder of the man's enormous talents.

Where many of the soundtracks to movies about contemporary black culture tend to emphasize the new jack aspects of today's sounds, the songs which make up JASON'S LYRICS portray a much richer vision of inner city life.
That's because this tale of inner city brothers whose father has been killed--one caught up in the gangsta life, the other trying to stay on the straight and narrow--summons up a more complex web of ...

Winter raged outside his window making him a shut-in for yet another weekend afternoon. He sat filling the ashtray before him with one cigarette after another, thinking of a summer past spent on a Lake Michigan beach and the girl in the salmon pink bikini he had shared it with. Where had all the passion gone, he wondered. He knew all about companionship and contentment, but he only remembered passion. At 33, was that feeling, that had once made him feel so totally and completely alive, now gone for good? The phone rang. He debated for only two rings between lighting another cigarette and answering it, then moved across the room in response. 'Hi, hon, I just called to tell you I'll be a little late,' said his wife. 'I have to wait until one of the four-wheel-drive ...
