Ruben Studdard, who became a household name after winning American Idol season 2, recently released Ruben Sings Luther, a tribute to Luther Vandross, on March 16 of this year. “My goal was to not only to pay tribute to Luther but to add my own passion on top of Luther’s brilliant songs,” says Studdard. “It was a thrilling experience selecting the songs from his different albums and putting my own interpretation on them. I am so proud of this record,” added Studdard.
