After spending the 1970s collaborating with David Bowie – among other things, his song Funky Music (Is A Part Of Me) became Fascination on Young Americans – and singing backing vocals for A-listers, Luther Vandross finally stepped out as a solo act in 1981. He set the bar high with his debut single, Never Too Much, a funky, string-swirled gem that topped the US R&B charts, and the first of 18 UK Top 40 hits.
That classic kicks off this stellar career-spanning hits collection, which arrives alongside the documentary Luther: Never Too Much. This 2CD/2LP set illuminates Vandross’ gifts as a vocalist, songwriter and interpreter.
