That was a seriously underrated album. The remix to that song was a darkchild mix, wasn't it?

U think it was underrated? I didn't like the album as a whole, but it did have some good moments.

Yes, there was a Darkchild version of the song on the album.

His label really should put out a complete video compilation. There are so many videos I didn't know Luther had...

This one was with Virgin. He, like Mariah, was fired and paid to leave.

The label did release a really good video compilation.

It doesn't have all of his videos, but it has almost all of them.


I wish they would release the last concert he did in Dallas on DVD. Parts of it aired during the UNCF Telethon in 03.

He did this song on Oprah when the CD came out and I really dug it. Sadly, it was a one off for Virgin and other than Oprah, there was no real promotion. His first J Records release, though, proved he was still commercially viable! Sadly, "Dance With My Father" only might have done well due to his illness and the fact that it would be his last album.

Was it "I'm Only Human"?


Or was it "I Know", the title track?

Yes, that is the version with Guru. It is da shyt!!! This is the last single from Luther that I actually liked. I thought his Arista output was really crappy.

To be fair, he only did 2 J albums (not Arista). I liked the self titled album ok. It had some decent songs, but you could tell it was an attempt to "sell" and not be creative.
