Luther Vandross may have fallen a bit from his lofty perch among R&B stars, but it wasn't due to any dip in skills. Never Let Me Go contains more examples of his supple, fluid vocals, expert delivery, and sophisticated yet soulful style. Indeed, Vandross hasn't made many better overall albums from a strict singing standpoint; his voice is full and impressive in every register, and there's no sign of strain when he reaches to the top of an arrangement or extends notes and phrases. Perhaps there are signs of creative wear and tear; there's no real blockbuster single, and the final medley, which blends classics from the Spinners and the Bee Gees, sounds thrown together. A retooling might be in order.
