RUBEN STUDDARD SINGS LUTHER VANDROSS

Description

Ruben Studdard, America’s Idol just released RUBEN SINGS LUTHER, a tribute to his musical hero Luther Vandross and is launching a 25 city  ‘Always and Forever Tour’ starting in April.

“My goal was to not only to pay tribute to Luther but to add my own passion on top of Luther’s brilliant songs. It all started with my mom who has always loved Luther and played his music in our home continuously – especially during Christmas.  You can say I grew up with the world’s biggest Luther fan. In my young teens, I would perform a Luther song or two at weddings and people would keep requesting more of his hits.  I recorded ‘Superstar’ awhile back which was Grammy nominated and sang different Luther songs during my live shows.  But people always asked when I was going to do an album of Luther’s songs. Happily the day has arrived. It was a thrilling experience selecting the songs from his different albums and putting my own interpretation on them.  I am so proud of this record”, commented Ruben.

The tour will  recreate the beautiful production elements, musicians, background singers, wardrobe and lighting that were ever present when Luther took the stage, and Ruben’s heart and soul will be in every note as he honors one of the greatest vocalists we’ve ever had.

The charming Ruben Studdard, the Grammy nominated R&B, gospel and pop singer was the winner of American Idol’s second season.. He has recorded six studio albums, appears frequently on television, toured extensively, and has sold over two million albums worldwide.
