Luther Vandross Rare Duets Released in Box Set

Another record post Luther Vandross' death will be released later this year. After 2006's 'The Ultimate Luther Vandross', a box set containing four-CD collection of his greatest hits, rare recordings and unreleased tracks will be dropped in October.

Among collaborators in the record called 'Love, Luther' are Frank Sinatra, Dionne Warwick, Mariah Carey, Janet Jackson and Beyonce Knowles. The duets with Sinatra and Knowles are those that have never been released before.

In 2005 Vandross died of unknown reason following his stroke two years prior. His legacy has been continued through tributes by his fellow artists. Two months after his death in July musicians like Stevie Wonder, Mary J. Blige, Usher, Elton John, Celine Dion, Babyface, John Legend and Aretha Franklin recorded 'So Amazing: An All-Star Tribute to Luther Vandross'. Aretha in particular won a Grammy for her cover of 'A House is Not a Home'.
