Description

Luther Vandross was an R&B legend. Originally a supporting singer, he sought his own path, and the result was becoming one of the most influential pop artists of all time. Dawn’s Porter’s joyful documentary will have you dancing in the aisles.

Luther: Never Too Much chronicles the story of a vocal virtuoso. 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.
