Luther sure didn't make "Endless Love" his own lol I think the ONLY covers Luther made his own were the following: "A House is Not a Home" "If This World Were Mine" "If Only For One Night"/"Creepin'" That's about it and even with "If This World...", Luther's version was fantastic but now I'm in  with Marvin's original lolI agree completely with "Superstar," "A House Is Not a Home," and "If Only for One Night," but I kinda hate his take on "Creepin'." I really like his take on "Since I Lost My Baby," but not more than the original. Despite his (mostly well deserved) reputation as a great covers artist, his Songs album is a colossal failure.

Yeah "Creepin'" is kinda dull. I should edit it, I don't like that version anymore.  | |

I agree,that album is a huge disappointment.A total snoozefest.He was re-making songs that truly didn't need to be re-made,and for the first time,he didn't make any of those songs his own.Didn't do anything new or interesting to the songs. | |

That's the crazy thing- because we all know Luther can "Lutherize" a classic song and make you forget it's a remake, but I always wondered what happened with that Songs album- it's just so-so. He played it really safe and added very little to the remakes on that album.. [Edited 12/7/09 22:10pm] | |
