She was not in the least bit interested, but she was quite charmed by him. I am not going to go further into it at this moment in time, but on a personal level i would have been intrigued by a collaboration. I am not 100% convinced it would have worked. Luther's work with Dionne was less than inspiring, but i agree his work with Aretha was a joy.
    Could this pair of divas have worked together in the studio for a full album? Having worked with them both extensively i would have my doubts.
    Diana's instincts were probably correct. Luther never became a darling of the pop world. He had a great voice though.



    that did not even break the Hot 100.

    He was huge in the UK. Numerous hit singles, top selling albums and regular arena tours that got televised on prime time tv. He was really embraced by the UK pop buying public, but i know he tended to struggle in the American pop market.
