The late legendary R&B vocal virtuoso Luther Vandross today shares the single ‘Speak Your Love’. Listen Here. The song features on his recent ‘Never Too Much: Greatest Hits’ album, and comes ahead of the release of the new documentary ‘Luther: Never Too Much’ which hits cinemas in the UK and Ireland on January 30th – only for one night. Tickets go on sale this week HERE.
‘Speak Your Love’ is classic Luther Vandross, all silk-smooth balladeering and seductive romance, delivered by one of the R&B world’s all-time most soothing vocal talents. The song was written and produced by Luther Vandross alongside Fonzi Thornton.
Directed by the award-winning filmmaker Dawn Porter, ‘Luther: Never Too Much’ chronicles his remarkable life. Using a wealth of rarely seen archives, Luther 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 from his Grammy Award-winning career, while exploring his personal life, health struggles, and a lifelong battle to earn the respect his music deserved.
The film adds to a growing rediscovery of Luther Vandross’ talents following Kendrick Lamar’s song ‘luther’which sampled ‘If This World Were Mine’, as well as the release of ‘Never Too Much: Greatest Hits’ late last year. The compilation features his iconic hits like ‘Never Too Much’, ‘So Amazing’ and ‘Any Love’ alongside his distinctive interpretations of classics like ‘A House Is Not A Home’ and ‘The Closer I Get To You’ (a duet with Beyoncé). It also includes ‘Michelle’, a previously unheard cover of The Beatles’ classic that Luther recorded in 1989 and resulted in him returning to the Billboard Adult R&B Airplay chart after 18 years.
