Never Too Much, 1981

Written by Luther Vandross

Let's celebrate Juneteenth

Can anyone pour on the over-the-top declarations of love like Luther Vandross?  This is a man who does not simply love his partner; he is completely consumed by her.  He skips work to be with her.  "You are my shining star, my guiding light, my love fantasy / There's not a minute, hour, day or night that I don't love you," he proclaims.  Subtelty is not the goal here, and that's part of the charm.  The song's bright, funky groove keeps all that devotion from becoming overwhelming. Vandross' voice is smooth but not passive, full of control, warmth, and effortless runs that make even the biggest romantic statements sound sincere.
