A new documentary is set to honor the legacy of one of the most iconic voices in music history. Luther: Never Too Much, directed and executive produced by acclaimed filmmaker Dawn Porter, will make its UK and Irish cinema debut on January 30 for a one-night-only screening. This highly anticipated film, which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival last year, chronicles the remarkable life and career of the late Luther Vandross.
Vandross, known for timeless hits such as “Never Too Much,” “Dance with My Father,” “Here and Now,” and “Power of Love/Love Power,” remains a towering figure in the music industry. With a career that spanned several decades, he sold over 40 million records globally and earned 11 consecutive platinum albums. Initially starting as a backup vocalist for major artists including David Bowie, Donna Summer, Diana Ross, and Chaka Khan, Vandross ultimately forged a legendary solo career that earned him numerous accolades, including multiple Grammy Awards.
Through archival footage of interviews with Vandross, who passed away in 2005, and contributions from close friends and collaborators such as Dionne Warwick, Roberta Flack, Mariah Carey, and Valerie Simpson, Luther: Never Too Much offers an intimate look at his life and career. The documentary highlights the highs of Vandross’ career, showcasing his immense success, but also delves into the challenges he faced. From the struggle to gain the recognition his music deserved to the discrimination he encountered as a Black artist and the personal hardships he overcame, the film paints a comprehensive picture of his journey.
For fans of Vandross and music lovers alike, Luther: Never Too Much is a tribute to a once-in-a-generation talent. The film will be available for one-night screenings in the UK and Ireland on January 30, and in the U.S., it can be streamed via CNN on Hulu with Live TV.
