Luther Vandross was a session musician before Change hired him to perform on the Glow Of Love album, around the same time he also performed with Bob James "Love Is The Power", off the Sign Of The Times album and a little after that he started his solo career.
The title cut, Glow Of Love, was another radio hit they had with Luther. Rest is history. Glow is in the style of Never Too Much, on his 1st solo project. Great choice! Don’t forget to check the Change album after this, a tune called Paradise, featuring Diva Gray. This tune reminds me a little of Circle of One, by Oleta Adams. It starts with triangle & builds with a similar groove, but slower. This rhythm groove is called shuffle, where there,s like 3 triplet beats to very solid beat. You’ve definitely heard it before. Stevie’s Higher Ground, Isn’t She Lovely, to name 2. Also ‘80’s artist, Billy Ocean had, When the Going Get’s Tough, from the movie Jewel of the Nile, same groove rhythm. Anyway I’d highly recommend Oleta’s Circle of One album, every cut is nice. You probably would enjoy Billy Ocean too, who is West Indian. His 1st big hit was Caribbean Queen, & he seemed to have a nice pop & r&b success, crossing demographics.
Kinda knew you'd like this one. Who wouldn't....top-tier arrangement, mixing and production, unique sound (at the time) infectious best, unbeatable vocals, and a hook that there is no escape from. This cut was absolutely insane when it first came out. I remember that I couldn't get hold of the Album quickly enough.
The song that introduced all of us to Luther. When it hit the airwaves and I heard it for the first time, I knew I'd love this song for forever. Still sounds as fresh to me as it did when it came out.
RIP Luther, we miss you more than ever. Listen as well to "The Glow Of Love" which Luther also did with Change. That for me was the slightly (very slightly) better song. Try the great Lisa Fischer who was Luther's back up singer for years doing the incredibly beautiful and the incredibly hard to sing "How Can I Ease The Pain".
This song was one that Luther Vandross did in one of his concerts .Sounded amazing live. One of the greatest male vocalists of all time.R.I.P.Luther.You are missed.
Actually, Luther's first and second albums were released in 1976 and 1977, which was before this song was recorded and release. Luther also sang background for David Bowie. He wrote commercial jingles and he wrote songs for the movie "The Wiz", staring Michael Jackson and Diana Ross.
Ol'Luth bought a mess of Lalique Crystal With That Jingle money. The best part Of Waking up Is Folgers in your cup. I've got a video tape Of Luther, and Patty Austin Singing Their jingles together When I find it, and if it is still good I Should upload it for y'all.
Have you seen Lisa Fisher, How can I Ease the Pain, live? She is one of the background vocalist on this one. She is the stand out high soprano that sings "Hot hot hot . . ." Her range is phenomenal.
The sound and production of Italy... The funk of Italy With the sound of New York made Change stand out in the early 80,s... peace young bro The Land of the good groove is grabbing your rhythm buds... plus Luther Vandross on vocal duties adds up to class in a glass... Peace out...
Change was a studio production band...meaning the producers put together the songwriters, singers and players just to create the music. Luther Vandross was a session singer before breaking out on his own.
Okay Luther wasn't the lead singer, they were all good friends that work together in the past, The band founder ask Luther would he do two songs on the album Luther agreed on one condition "If he didn't like the outcome that they would not use them" of course the rest is History!
This beat was a sample from a song from the early 70's called Nock Nock on wood by Amy Stewart u should react to it u will love it its more of a church disco vibe
Distinctively Luther, this album was the springboard to his solo career.
Luther Vandross before his solo career....big dance hit here in NYC back in da day....their other hits
Glow Of Love
Lover's Holiday
Lover’s Holiday is freaking amazing! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Proud owner of this album on Vinyl. Luther forever 🔥🔥

Luther Vandross was the lead singer of this group. This was b4 he went solo.
Along with Diva Grey and Jocyln Shaw (Brown)
Luther Vandross is one of the greatest singers ever!
The greatest

Unmistakeable voice, he was the lead singer of change, before his solo career
Had to come find this hit "SEARCHING" 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥. Luther at his best his vocals TOP TIER on this record.
Forgot about this one, great track!
@@JustJammin yes indeed .....
Thanks! This is a deep R&B hidden gem, that's great from start to finish. The long version is even better. Thanks again, young brother!

I think the beat may be from a Moog or Mini Moog synthesizer, or a Fender Rhodes. Lover's Holiday from this album introduced Change to the world.
Ragtime..The Blues...Jazz...R&B...Rock&Roll...House Music...Disco...and Rap...Black American music resume......UNMATCHED IN THE HISTORY OF MUSIC
Be Proud
The sound and production of Italy... The funk of Italy With the sound of New York made Change stand out in the early 80,s... peace young bro The Land of the good groove is grabbing your rhythm buds... plus Luther Vandross on vocal duties adds up to class in a glass... Peace out...
Another classic from Change was Change of heart was a great roller skating song to jam to.
Man, Luthers voice gives me chills. The perfect singer.
And cannot forgot the band....They are tight.
Luther also sang with Bionic Boogie
This is one of my favorite groups. Best live concert I had the honor to see live before Luther blew all the way up.
My two fav concerts were Change circa 1981 and Mystic Merlin circa 1982...
Luther put a hurtin' on this Classic Jam!!! CHANGE was OFF THE CHAIN!!!! WHEW!!!
Early '80s NYC vibe 🎵🎶🎶🎵🗽💯💯💯
. My appreciation for this music 🎶 to the sky and back grate music
First album for Luther Vandross with the band called Change and then he went solo.
love the percussion break with the beat constant.. Luther voice is on point..
"What's happinen Luther?" 48Hrs
Luther was a member of the group before he went solo. Play the song “Glow of Love” from the same album.
Change was a studio production band...meaning the producers put together the songwriters, singers and players just to create the music. Luther Vandross was a session singer before breaking out on his own.
Luther vandross is a goat in that time he is the one singing.. look him up
Massive tune, god bless Luther.
Gotta check out "This is for the very best in You" by Change. Outstanding!
Glow of Love is great and So Amazing by Luther himself. I would recommend those two

Your feet just begins to move when this song comes on
My Beloved brother you have a great ear for music ✌🏾

Another cool Change joint actually, after Luther went solo is 'Paradise', with Diva Grey singin lead.
Okay Luther wasn't the lead singer, they were all good friends that work together in the past, The band founder ask Luther would he do two songs on the album Luther agreed on one condition "If he didn't like the outcome that they would not use them" of course the rest is History!

"The Glow of Love" is a Change song worth reacting to.....and Yeah, that is Luther Vandross before he became famous....
Glow of love is the other banger from the same album
This beat was a sample from a song from the early 70's called Nock Nock on wood by Amy Stewart u should react to it u will love it its more of a church disco vibe
