Give Me the Reason is the fifth studio album by American R&B/soul singer-songwriter Luther Vandross, released on September 26, 1986, by Epic Records.

The album earned Vandross an American Music Award for Favorite Soul/R&B Male Artist and a nomination for "Favorite Soul/R&B Album" in 1988, while the title track was nominated for Best R&B Song and Best R&B Vocal Performance, Male at the 29th Grammy Awards.

The album also includes Vandross' first Billboard top-20 pop hit, "Stop to Love."

It also marked a svelte, thinner Vandross due to a weight loss earlier in the year.

The album went on to sell over 2 million copies in the United States and was certified double platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).
