Diana produced by Luther!

[TomatoTom123]

I've been listening to Luther Vandross' work with Cheryl Lynn, Aretha Franklin and Dionne Warwick in the early 80s and I thought "why didn't Diana hook up with the guy!?"

I think it could have been a great step forward after 1980's Diana, keeping it fresh and relevant, but retaining Diana's unique style and identity, as Luther did with the other ladies!

I have listened to Diana's Luther-produced ballad "It's Hard For Me To Say" from 1987's Red Hot Rhythm And Blues, which is very lovely, but seems a bit like too little too late. I would have loved to see what Luther would have done with Diana in the early 80s.

What do you think?
