“Some people might think I’m trying to be like Luther or capitalize on that. But that’s not where my heart is on this. There’s only one Luther Vandross. It’s just the songs I know, and the way they’ve always made me feel. In delivering the music, I have to be true to what I feel about each. So I take into consideration how Luther sang them and how he presented them. But I worked to make them my own.” – Terry Steele
