My Favorite Things - Luther Vandross - MP3 instrumental karaoke

Luther Vandross brings a gold-plated groove to this soulful, sensual reimagining of Sound of Music show tune "My Favorite Things." "Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens," he begins, adding "bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens," "brown paper packages tied up with strings" and "cream-colored ponies and crisp apple strudels" to the mix on a satisfying spoonful of honeyed holiday-themed R&B, which was included on his first Christmas album, This Is Christmas, released in October 1995 by Epic Records. Reaching Number 28 on US Billboard 200 and Number 4 on Billboard's Top Holiday Albums and the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, the LP – which featured a smorgasbord of original songs and traditional covers (made over in Luther Vandross's unique style) – went on to become a festive top-seller and in 2002 was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).
