COMPILATION

Luther Vandross only recorded one Christmas album in his lifetime, so it's not a surprise that the entirety of the ten-song 1995 album This Is Christmas is on this 14-track 2012 compilation, The Classic Christmas Album. The other four songs are odds and ends, including a previously unreleased live duet on "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" with Chaka Khan, all adding up to what is certainly the definitive collection of Luther Vandross holiday music.
