  Seven Songs for the Week #48

  It was news to me that Luther Vandross before he was solo star Luther Vandross was the lead singer and songwriter for a band called (checks notes) Luther. The two Luther albums have been out of print for 40+ years, but one of the spin-offs of having one of those rights companies like Primary Wave buying your catalogue is that they’ll look down the back of a sofa to see if there’s anything to release to pay off the massive loans they took out to own all of Stevie Nicks’ b-sides or whatever.
