New book out now.
One of the greatest vocalists of our time.
Is this a reprint of the Craig Seymour book from about 15 years ago? If so, it’s brilliant.
It's updated and expanded.Quote:

Marv, Luther was one of the few singers who put inflection on every syllable that he sang. Other than Nat "King" Cole, I can't really find someone that I can compare it to. I need to read the book.Quote:

With Sinatra and Marvin one of my favorite singers.
Really glad I saw him live in Miami once with Sounds Of Blackness as opening act and with him for the finale with Power of Love/Love Power.
I was in Montreal when my brother called to say that both Luther and Obie Benson passed on the same day. I picked up a newspaper and it was true.
Luther a vocal I could listen to forever! the original book was superb, if sad, what a troubled life with so much insecurity.
In the first edition of this book, there is NOT A WORD about Marcus Miller who played a big part of almost all songs writing [[and playing bass) Any idea why and will this still be the case in the new edition ?
This updated and expanded version was released 12th April 2014, not sure which copy I have now?Quote:
