这是Luther Vandross（逝于2005年7月1日，享年54岁）所有唱片中的第一张Billboard 200排行榜的冠军专辑。在专辑中Luther Vandross亲自创作了大部分歌曲，并担任监制，制作人。这位R&B大师的深厚功力再一次得到了证明，他的音乐毫不夸张的说是完美嗓音和诗意歌词的完美结合，而且他还拉来了Richard Marx，Destiny's Child的Beyonce Knowles等歌星来协助录音。专辑第一首歌就让R&B后生们领教了这位老将的实力，节奏，嗓音，一切都是那么的和谐。可以说提到R&B，就不能不提到Luther Vandross，这位与Stevie Wonder齐名的R&B天王有着超一流的演唱、创作和制作才华……
《Dance With My Father》充满了Luther Vandross对父亲的纪念，清淡的钢琴伴奏，
和他伤感的演唱，在爱里透露出更多的是思念和伤感。此曲获第46届格莱美音乐的年度最佳歌曲..
