Luther Vandross – Never Too Much: The Voice, The Career & The Man | 50 For 50
from 50 For 50 | Life, Music, & Friendship · host BSPN Media
Luther Vandross started where most legends do — in the background. Before "Never Too Much" made him a household name, he was singing backup for David Bowie, Bette Midler, and Diana Ross, and recording jingles you've definitely heard without knowing it was him. This week on 50 For 50, we take a deep dive into the music of 1981, trace how Luther broke through with his stunning debut album, and walk his entire discography from that first record to his final recordings.We also get into the parts of Luther's story that don't always make the highlights reel — his private life, his complicated relationship with fame and his body, and what made him such a singular artist in the R&B landscape. Plus, we share our thoughts on the CNN documentary that recently brought his story back to the forefront.If you love classic R&B, soul music, or just great voices, this one's for you.Find 50 For 50:🌐 Website: https://www.50for50.net/ ▶️ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@50_For_50 🎙️ Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/50-for-50-life-music-friendship/id1857746432 🎧 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0ADmN7bp4fXQzAZsnSuFQj 📩 Contact: [email protected]
