Never Too Much
Luther Vandross · 1981Recording
Luther Vandross recorded the track in New York City at Media Sound Studios for his debut solo album, with Vandross handling the vocal performance and production. Nat Adderley Jr. served as the principal arranger on the session. As the lead single from Vandross's debut album, the song introduced his solo career with a polished, dance-oriented R&B sound that crossed into the pop chart. It became his first major hit and established him as a solo star. The track became one of Vandross's signature recordings and remained a staple of R&B and quiet-storm radio. Its bass line, groove, and vocal arrangement have been widely sampled, referenced, and covered.
