LUTHER VANDROSS – Hidden Gems

 

Here’s an exciting news story from Soul Tracks on a new album release from Luther Vandross.

 

They write:

 

“The overwhelming talent of the late Luther Vandross (1951-2005), eight-time Grammy Award-winning singer extraordinaire, songwriter, producer, arranger, and soul music visionary, are the focus of HIDDEN GEMS. 

 

This new collection of 15 seldom-heard deep album tracks and movie soundtrack songs is released in the U.S on  April 17, 2012, just three days prior to Luther’s birthday on April 20.  The collection is released by Epic/Legacy, a division of SONY MUSIC ENTERTAINMENT.”
