Luther Vandross & Mariah Carey: Endless Love [tape] Check video!

ENDLESS LOVE
In September 1994, Luther Vandross released "Endless love", a duet with Mariah Carey from his album "Songs". "Endless love" had been a huge hit for Diana Ross and Lionel Richie in 1981, when it sold more than 2 million copies. This version was produced by Walter Afanasieff, which provided the connection between the two singers, as did the record label, with Luther Vandross also appearing on Columbia. On October 1, 1994, "Endless love" had reached its highest point, number 2 on the Billboard Hot 100.

"Endless love" was Mariah's first "official" duet. Luther Vandross had clearly lent an ear to Mariah's earlier harmonising with Trey Lorenz, and requested her presence as he re-cut "Endless love". The two voices made a spectacular combination, Luther's rich chocolate tones contrasting vividly with Mariah's swooping soprano.

My love,
There's only you in my life
The only thing that's bright

My first love,
You're every breath that I take
You're every step I make

And I
(I-I-I-I-I)
I want to share
All my love with you
No one else will do...

And your eyes
Your eyes, your eyes
They tell me how much you care
Ooh yes, you will always be
My endless love

Two hearts,
Two hearts that beat as one
Our lives have just begun

Forever
(Ohhhhhh)
I'll hold you close in my arms
I can't resist your charms

And love
Oh, love
I'll be a fool
For you,
I'm sure
You know I don't mind
Oh, you know I don't mind

'Cause you,
You mean the world to me
Oh
I know
I know
I've found in you
My endless love

Oooh-woow
Boom, boom
Boom, boom, boom, boom, booom
Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom

Oooh, and love
Oh, love
I'll be that fool
For you,
I'm sure
You know I don't mind
Oh you know-
I don't mind

And, YES
You'll be the only one
'Cause NO one can deny
This love I have inside
And I'll give it all to you
My love
My love, my love
My endless love
