From SoulTracks.com-
Luther Vandross [[https://www.soultracks.com/luther_vandross.htm) was one of the greatest singers of our time, a legend who was taken away too soon. Among his many accomplishments over his long career was a terrific Christmas album, This Is Christmas.It was a fantastic, lush album that brought together Christmas standards and a number of new songs, including the memorable title track.
But on a 2012 reissue of that album, a special live recording of Luther and the great Chaka Khan singing "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas" was included. It is a great performance by to all-timers, and we think SoulTrackers will love hearing it.

This is great! Thanks Motown Eddie! Now I need to get that 2012 compilation! I didn't realize it had extra tracks on it. I thought it was the same album with a different cover. Dang.

Yep, that's the one, Jack! I remember seeing it once when I was out shopping and didn't think much of it. I thought it was a reissue of his Christmas album with the same tracks, not realizing that there are extra songs on it. :eek:

Classy performance. Luther so graciously throws the spotlight on Chaka [who doesn't return the favor]
