Documentarian Dawn Porter says Luther Vandross’ voice was unsuppressed. The Grammy award-winning R&B singer, songwriter and record producer worked hard to perfect his God-given talent, she says. Moreover, Porter adds, he had the ability to collaborate with other artists and had an appreciation for his audience.
Vandross’ life story is now being told through a new documentary, “Luther: Never Too Much.” Porter serves as a co-producer and director of the film.
On Friday’s edition of “Closer Look,” Porter talked with show host Rose Scott about creating the film, and she reflected on the life and legacy of the legendary singer.
