1995 - This Is Christmas - Luther Vandross

30 Years Ago - 1995 Luther Vandross released his tenth album and first Christmas album, This Is Christmas.

Seven original songs and three covers, one with Darlene Love.

"Every Year, Every Christmas" (and three other songs) was released as a single and charted #25 Adult R&B and #32 R&B/Hip Hop.

There is an interesting review from Jordan Paramor from Smash Hits who gave the song four out of five. 

"Government health warning: Do not listen to this single if you're going to be boyfriend/girlfriend-less this Christmas, 'cos when we tried a little experiment on one of the members of the office (ie sat her down and forced her to listen to Luther's mellow tinkerings and outrageously romantic shenanigans about being in love at Christmas), she ran around the office wailing and trying to snog the face off any bloke that'd look her way. Not a pleasant sight, but a very charming tune nonetheless!"
