Never Too Much (album)

Never Too Much is the debut solo studio album by American singer Luther Vandross, released on August 12, 1981, by Epic Records.

Never Too Much earned Vandross two Grammy Award nominations in 1982, including Best New Artist and Best R&B Vocal Performance, Male.

Vandross concocts a bouncy, vibrant flow on his up-tempo numbers and an intimate, emotional connection on his moderate grooves and his lone ballad [...] This is one of the better R&B albums of the early '80s.

"[2] Robert Christgau wrote about the album: "In music as tactful as this, where so much of the meaning is carried on the skip and flow of rhythm and timbre, songwriting doesn't matter all that much.

So Vandross can attach tropes like "sugar and spice" and "she's a super lady" to undistinguished melodies and make me like them.
