What`s your favorite Vandross songs?

"Searching" (Change)
"Forever, For Always, For Love"
"Make Me A Believer"
"Don't You Know That"
"Better Love"
"Promise Me"
"Creepin" ("she creep!")
"Wait For Love"
"Other Side Of The World"
"So Amazing"
"Because It's Really Love"
"Anyone Who Had A Heart"
"There's Nothing Better Than Love"

Never Too Much
Any Love
A House Is Not A Home
Bad Boy/Having a Party
Since I Lost My Baby
Give Me The Reason
If This World Were Mine

From Luther himself, my favorite is the very funky "She's A Super Lady". Also, the following:

Never Too Much
She Loves Me Back

However, my favorite Luther Vandross is the work he did with Change on "Searchin'" and the production work he did for Aretha Franklin on "Jump To It" and "Get It Right". I also like his work with the BB&Q Band.

See, I bet y'all had forgotten that Luther had a funky side since he is mainly known these days only for his boring songs of the late 1980s and 1990s.

Never Too Much - This song makes me smile on a bad day...it makes me happy and I love singing along to it

House Is not A Home - Perfection

House is not a home. Simply beautiful.

"Never Too Much" and "Stop to Love" have to be my favorites.

nobody else likes "Hot Butterfly"?

I think I actually like
the original better than
Chaka's version

I dig Hot Butterfly better than Chaka's version too but it's not a favorite Chaka song.

cool beans

I had the hardest time
trying to figure out
which version I loved best
because they are both great
and I try not to be biased
when it comes to Chaka
but it's hard

anything she touches (original or cover)
I end up falling head over heels
prime example "I Feel For You"
it's Prince's song
but Chaka KILLS IT!!!

even over @ the MJB board
folks think I'm crazy because
I prefer Chaka's over Mary's
that woman could funk up
the Brady Bunch theme song

but this thread is not about Chaka
so I'll stop here

overall Luther's (BB) version
is THE ONE!!!

how dare you

'The Glow of Love' is a masterpiece in my opinion!!

Has any one else heard 'She's A Super Lady'? That has to be one of his most funky tracks with a killer bass line. Although I'm not sure he really meant to sing super 'Lady' judging on his preferences. Bless the old closet case anorexic!!!

I also loved his vocals on guitarist David Spinozza's version of 'Superstar' and 'Doesn't She Know By Now', from back in 1978. He's credited as one of the background vocalists , but his voice just towers over the rest of 'em (David Lasley, Diva Gray, Jim Gilstrap, etc.)...

'Till My Baby comes Home was the first I ever heard by him, and I was instantly hooked. I love the off beat melody, and the chorus is huge.

I'd love to cover that song, maybe a rock & roll version.
