FOREVER,FOR ALWAYS,FOR LOVE,FOR US!!.Jul 27, 2010
This classic album is practically a continuation of his spellbinding first effort, "NEVER TOO MUCH". "FOREVER,FOR ALWAYS,FOR LOVE is as smooth and as creamy as ever. Sensuous emotional vocals overlapping uptempo and mostly melancholy rhythms makes this awesome album a real masterpiece!!
LUTHER'S remake of SAM COOKE'S "BADBOY/HAVING A PARTY" is a real display of his skillful ability to transform the old into something completly new!.It could not be better!."YOU'RE THE SWEETEST ONE" is so bouncy soo sweet so hopeful, i love this song!. Here is his magic remake touch again on"SINCE I LOST MY BABY" the regret so real so heartfelt, i almost feel sorry for MR VANDROSS. The titletract, "FOREVER, FOR ALWAYS,FOR LOVE", penned by LUTHER himself, is a true testament of love,surrendering completly to another."BETTER LOVE" is in a class by itself,a favourite here,beauty with a touch of gloom, stunning arrangements. "PROMISE ME" is hope laced with pure fear!. This song is deep. "SHE LOVE ME BACK" wow! so liveley and grand! i love this cut. Last but not least,the beautiful"ONCE YOU KNOW HOW", will surely put your hopes way up!. With no fillers here, this timeless classic will full your soul with pure melody.A trendsetting album. Highly recomended!!.

This was a replacement CD. Love Luther! No words to describe his talent. He will surely be missed.

 LUTHER SURE LOOKED DIFFERENT BACK IN THE EARLY DAYS...Mar 26, 2007
... having worked for a prominent cosmetic surgeon, I tend to spot facial details that most people miss... for instance, Luther's ears here appear to be quite close to his head, while photos in more recent years make them appear to be more prominent... also, he had a more masculine look to his face here, but later in his career he appeared far more feminine-looking... these are just observations, not criticisms - none of this changes the fact that he was an awesome vocalist who, like Prince, wore many hats in the recording of his albums, serving as singer-songwriter-arranger-producer, although I would have loved to hear him pair up with Quincy Jones at least once just to see what they could have come up with together.

Luther Forever And AlwaysMar 25, 2007
'Forever,For Always,For Love' is Luther's critical sophmore release from 1982.Luther Vandross is very much going out of his way to fasion a grand soul epic with this release where even the uptempo songs have a very cinematic feel to them.All eight of these longish songs are wonderful,beautiful and hoplessly romantic as always.My favorites are of course "Bad Boy/Having A Party",'You're The Sweetest One" and "She Gives Love Back",all of which are peppy dance tunes with great hooks and each one had an elegant house party atmosphere.The title cut is very beautiful and also extrodinarily melodramatic.And Luther REALLY lets his soul bare on "Since I Lost My Baby".As opposed to David Ruffin's more tortured tone on the original Luther gives the song a lot more meloncaughly and sadness.On the album cover Luther is leaning cowly up at you almost as if to say "come inside because I've got some great stories to tell".And this is an inviting album-Luther shares his musical and lyrical concepts of love and human relationships here and all the RSVP's are sent out.As always he makes the best use of Marcus Miller as writing partner and crucial bassist and keeps his links strong to classic R&B.This creamy smooth album stands somewhat in contrast to the slightly more groove oriented sounds of Never Too Much and Busy Body which this is sandwiched between but certainly being in the middle can be a wonderful advantage.

Continuation of the First AlbumAug 05, 2006
Luther keeps the great R+B songs coming.No sophmore jinx.
Just as good if not better than "Never Too Much".
Bad Bad/Having a Party-Night time.Party Groove.Feel good song.
Sweetest One-Lady so sweet.While u groove to the beat
Since I lost my Baby-Another great remake in Luther's repertoire.
Forever,For Always,For Love-A Nice slow jam.One of Luther's Best. Goin' thru the motions of love
Better Love-Sometimes the grass may seem greener on the other side.But he can't love u like me.Great tune
She Loves Me Back-Song about communicating wit' your lady
Promise Me-A Song of Plea about forever love
Once you know how-Everybody has the ability to fall in love.
It's easy to do.
The Second in what I like to call "Gettin' to know Luther trilogy"Which are his first four albums.They sum up the fact that he's "LUTHER"
1.Never Too Much
2.Forever,For Always,For love
3.Busy Body
4.The Night I fell in love
Definitely check this album out
