Luther: Never Too Much documentary

[jack020]

Luther: Never Too Much… chronicles the story of a vocal virtuoso,” notes a description of the film, which debuts in the Premieres section of Sundance. “Using a wealth of rarely seen archives, Luther tells his own story with assistance from his closest friends and musical collaborators including Mariah Carey, Dionne Warwick, Valerie Simpson and Roberta Flack. The film relives the many stunning moments of Luther’s musical career, while exploring his unrequited love life, health struggles, and a lifelong battle to earn the respect his music deserved.”

Great News!! I enjoy Luther Vandross' work & look forward to seeing the Never Too Much documentary when it plays in my area [or on streaming].

One of the greatest voices! I came across this amazing voice in 1980 when a record on the radio just blowed me away. It was an outfit called "Change" and the lead singer was "Luther" he was completely unknown at that time [well in the UK].

Incredible artist, well loved.

Fell in love with Luther's music back in the '80s, and remained faithful to the purchasing of each and every one of his CD releases until the end. Thankfully, I bought every one of his DVDs to fall back on as time passes. Needless to say, Luther's concert/stage performances were just as exciting and well-executed as his studio recordings. And, I must acknowledge the fact that Luther's female back-up girls shined just as bright on his concert recordings as they did on his studio recordings. Luther was a man from my own heart in his love of Girl Group music. It came as no surprise that he utilized top-notch females for his own concerts and studio recordings.

I hope I'm able to see Luther's "Never Too Much" documentary. It sounds wonderful!

My CD copy of Luther Vandross' very first 1976 self-titled Cotillion album under the group name Luther arrived yesterday. It sounds great, and the tracks are well-paced! I had completely forgotten that it contains an early version of his first stab at the beautiful ballad "The Second Time Around" which Luther made a remake of on his 1988 "Any Love" CD. Compare the earlier Cotillion version with the later Epic-label version. See/Hear which is your favorite of the two.
