Forever, For Always, For Luther Vol. 2 | 11/21/06

This new loving tribute features all-star performances by Patti Austin, Gerald Albright, Jonathan Butler, Norman Brown, Will Downing, Everette Harp, Jeff Lorber, Maysa, Najee, Wayman Tisdale, Kevin Whalum and Kirk Whalum.

"Having the opportunity to know and to work with Luther has truly been a blessing. This album was important in that it celebrates Luther as both singer and songwriter."
- Rex Rideout, Co-Producer Forever, For Always, For Luther Vols. I & II

"Huge personality, huge talent...Luther Vandross will be forever missed," says label founder Dave Koz. "But in true Luther-style, he left such large footprints for us to continue to inspire...as evidenced by this outpouring of musical love. I am thrilled and honored that Rendezvous could be part of the legacy, and help keep the man and his music alive."

Especially targeted to the African-American community, the program seeks to raise the awareness of the warning signs of stroke in order to prevent or greatly minimize many of its debilitating consequences.
