“Songwriter, Richard Marx, who cowrote “Dance with My Father” with Vandross, is Vandross’ anger translator speaking out against racism, fatphobia and friends who divulged Vandross’ private life against his wishes. By juxtaposing Marx’s remarks with a clip of Patti LaBelle giving an interview about the subject, the film implies that Marx is throwing shade in her direction without naming names. If LaBelle gave an interview to “Luther: Never Too Much,” it ended up on the cutting room floor.” THIS was my favorite part in seeing “Luther: Never Too Much” at the theater on 10-30-24…still showing. I was so angry at her when I saw that interview…and I’m glad this “so-called friend” was shown for what she was…NOT a true friend of Luther’s. She deserved the shade. Nothing else she might want to say after the release of this documentary doesn’t deserve any more airtime. “Vandross made a conscious choice not to respond to questions about his sexuality. The notoriously diplomatic, affable and marketable Vandross’ final word on the matter was “mind your f**king business,” which was preceded with “what I owe you is my music, my talent, my best effort. That’s all.” If you loved Luther like I did, or adored his music, this is a must-see documentary of his life and music. You’ll learn things you didn’t even know you didn’t know. Plus, relive that amazing voice in footage on the big-screen with Dolby sound! I’m going to see it again…before it leaves.

Beautifully done movie! Very thought provoking in helping people see the viewpoint from all sides.

Very inspirational and thought provoking!

Absolutely loved this musical! It’s soulful, entertaining, uplifting with a magnificent ensemble cast filled with dancers and singers and actors that make you want to see it over and over again!
