Darwin Hobbs v Chanté Moore - So Amazing

The post I did yesterday with Darwin Hobbs' new single reminded me of his 2000 album Vertical which had several good tracks 'Everyday' which I linked to in the post, but also his version of Luther Vandross' 'So Amazing'. I also came across a good live version performed by the beautiful Chante Moore in 2001 at BET Walk Of Fame for Luther Vandross, which I already had lined up for posting so though I'd post both.

From his 'Vertical' album released in 2000.

Chanté Moore [2001] Live

Here's an extended video of BET Walk Of Fame for Luther Vandross which features:

Ideal - Going In Circles (A short-lived group from Houston, Texas, who emerged with a version of Marvin Gaye's 'Inner City Blues' from the soundtrack of Original Gangstas in 1999 and had a hit with 'Whatever' (which sounds like it samples Oliver Cheatham's 'Get Down Saturday Night' to my ears) in 2000 and then faded away but this performance of one of my favourite songs, originally recorded in 1969 by The Friends Of Distinction, is superb.)

Tyreses & Chante Moore - If This World Were Mine

Chaka Khan - Creepin'

Gerald Levert / Patti LaBelle - If Only For One Night

Note that, whilst this was a tribute night for Luther Vandross, only 'If Only For One Night' was a Vandross original, the others are all are covers he did!

I'm afraid that the video is a bit grainy, presumably taken off a VHS tape recorded from TV.

Chanté Moore [1992] - Love's Taken Over [MCA]

As a bonus, here's Chante Moore's first and best (IMHO) record.
