About this film

“Luther: Never Too Much,” chronicles the story of a vocal virtuoso and man of passion who delighted in beauty and luxury. Using a wealth of rarely seen archival material, Luther Vandross 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 Vandross’ musical career, while exploring his unrequited love life, health struggles, and a lifelong battle to earn the respect his music deserved. Said Essence in its review: “It’s triumphant, and everything Vandross fans would want from a documentary about his life.” Michigan premiere.
