The following are liner notes for the 2002 Columbia/Legacy reissue of Luther Vandross’ “Forever, For Always, For Love”:
Always, Luther
Dear Diary.
I know I’ve said this before, but I’m sure this time, it’s really love!
So begins “The Sweetest One,” the second track of Luther Vandross’ second solo album, Forever, For Always, For Love. A diary entry, at once intimate and universal, inviting each and every listener into a private moment with this very public figure. Such is the magic of Luther Vandross and such is the magic of this album.
