DavidEye	"Make Me A Believer" by Luther Vandross (1983) "Make Me A Believer" is my favorite Luther Vandross song.It's from his 1983 album 'Busy Body'.I can't believe that this gem wasn't released as a single! who else is feelin' this song?

OdysseyMiles	I LOVE this song. It is weird that it was never released as a single, but in spite of that, it still got much radio play here in Columbus. The man's voice is an instrument, plain and simple. His tone on this song is just fantastic. The melody and chorus are great; the kind that'll have you humming it all day. Thanx for mentioning this one, man.

I LOVE this song! This was always one of my favorite Luther tracks. This song made a lot of quiet storm tapes I made back in the day.

This song, along with "The Other Side of the World", were underrated Luther jams...
