Shine (Luther Vandross song)

"Shine" is a single by R&B/soul musician Luther Vandross, the first single from his greatest hits package "The Ultimate Luther Vandross".
"Shine" is an upbeat R&B track that samples Chic's disco classic "My Forbidden Lover". "Shine" became a top 20 Urban radio hit, and the club mixes of the song (particularly the Freemasons Club Mix) became popular on Dance format radio stations and clubs in the US. The single was also a top fifty hit in the UK but failed to chart on the US "Billboard" Hot 100. However, the track peaked at 31 on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip Hop Songs.
The song was covered by British UK dance duo Booty Luv in 2007, and reached the top 20 in a number of European countries.

The EP was then released to the US iTunes Store on July 15, 2008. Booty Luv's version was well received and added to the BBC Radio 1's A-playlist. It peaked at number 10 on the UK Singles Chart, number six in Finland, and number 13 in the Netherlands.
The DJ Teddy-O remix of "Boogie 2nite" featured on the Maxi CD is also featured on Big Brovaz's "Re-Entry" album. However, the track is not listed as being a remix on the back cover.
