Luther Vandross could sing almost anything convincingly, which is one of the reasons Songs is so entertaining.
A collection of personal favorites, Songs suffers from the common flaws of covers albums -- it isn't consistent, it sounds slightly canned, and seems like a way to buy time between "real" albums.
Nevertheless, Vandross is a truly fine singer, which is what makes Songs worthwhile.
