One Night with You: The Best of Love, Volume 2 (issued internationally without 'Volume 2') is the third compilation album released by American singer Luther Vandross, released on September 15, 1997, by Epic Records. It is his second compilation album to be released stateside, and is a continuation of his triple-platinum selling first compilation The Best of Luther Vandross... The Best of Love (1989). One Night with You contains four newly recorded songs including the R. Kelly-penned and Grammy-nominated "When You Call on Me/Baby That's When I Come Runnin'" and selections compiled from his later studio albums such as Songs (1994), This Is Christmas (1995), Never Let Me Go (1993), Power of Love (1991) and Your Secret Love (1996).

The album also contains his then-biggest pop hits such as "Power of Love/Love Power", an alternate club mix of "The Best Things in Life Are Free" (a duet with Janet Jackson from the Mo' Money soundtrack) and a cover of the Lionel Richie/Diana Ross recording "Endless Love" with Mariah Carey, which became his biggest hit on the Billboard Hot 100 peaking at number two. The album was moderately successful, reaching the top 50 of the Billboard 200 album chart and peaking inside the top 20 within the R&B Albums chart. One Night with You was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) in 2021.
