 Luther Vandross Dance With My Father  I've loved Luther forever, and when I first heard "Dance With My Father" I immediately remembered why. Talk about ripping at your heart strings, and especially in light of his recent illness, if the title track doesn't bring a tear to your eye, nothing will. I will readily admit to being a hopeless romantic, and no one sings romance better than Mr. Vandross. Check out "Think About You." Tender and soulful, he never over-sings, over-emotes or overdoes it. It's all the perfect blend of pipes, style and interpretation. "The Closer I Get" (with Beyonce Knowles) is a soft and sensual remake of the Roberta Flack/Donny Hathaway classic. And there's lots more high-powered guest talent on this collection (Foxy Brown and Busta Rhymes). Okay, I confess - I'm a sucker for the ballads, and "Once Were Lovers" and "Buy Me A Rose" both got me. But hey, "Hit It Again" (with Queen Latifah) is huge hip-hoppy fun. Hurry back, Luther. Whatever you do, you're still doing it right! By - Vickie van Dyke WAVE 94.7 midday host vickie@wave947.fm
