TV One is bringing a celebrated tribute to one of R&B’s most beloved voices to television this weekend.
The critically acclaimed documentary Luther: Never Too Much will premiere Sunday, February 22 at 6 p.m. ET/PT on TV One, honoring the life, artistry and enduring cultural impact of music legend Luther Vandross.
Hailed by critics and audiences as a moving and definitive portrait, the film offers an intimate look at the Grammy Award-winning icon whose unmistakable voice helped define the modern love song. Blending rare archival footage with reflections from friends and collaborators, the documentary traces Vandross’ journey from behind-the-scenes studio talent to one of the most celebrated vocalists of his generation.
The film explores the brilliance and ambition that fueled classics like “Never Too Much,” “Here and Now” and “Dance With My Father,” while also examining the quiet complexity behind the music that soundtracked decades of romance.
Vandross’ later years were marked by serious health challenges. In April 2003, he suffered a severe stroke at his New York City home that left him in a coma for nearly two months and temporarily affected his ability to speak and sing. Though he later regained much of his mobility and voice, he made only limited public appearances afterward.
At the 2004 Grammy Awards, he accepted Song of the Year for “Dance With My Father” in a pre-taped message, telling viewers, “When I say good-bye, it’s never for long, because I believe in the power of love.” Vandross died on July 1, 2005, at age 54, following a heart attack. His funeral at Riverside Church in New York City featured tributes from Aretha Franklin, Patti LaBelle, Stevie Wonder and Dionne Warwick.
In the documentary, TV One will air exclusive vignettes throughout the broadcast, including insights from award-winning director Dawn Porter. Porter shares stories about the making of the film, including interviews with Jamie Foxx, Mariah Carey and Warwick, as well as the careful balance of honoring Vandross’ legacy while respecting aspects of his life he chose to keep private.
Luther: Never Too Much makes its TV One debut this Sunday at 6 p.m. ET/PT. Additional information can be found at tvone.tv.
