1991 studio album by Luther Vandross
Power of Love is the seventh studio album by American singer-songwriter Luther Vandross, released in April 1991. The following year, the album earned Vandross two American Music Awards for "Favorite Soul/R&B Male Artist" and "Favorite Soul/R&B Album" and one Grammy Award for "Best R&B Vocal Performance, Male", and the track "Power of Love/Love Power" won in the "Best R&B Song" category. It reached number seven on the US Billboard 200, while topping the Top R&B Albums chart for five nonconsecutive weeks. On the latter chart, it was Vandross's last number one for twelve years until Dance with My Father was released. Power of Love was later certified double platinum Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).
