In the world of contemporary music, there are just a handful of superstars whose first name alone brings instant recognition. Check Aretha, Whitney, Mariah, Diana and Dionne. But when it comes to male vocalists, the list is far shorter. One name towers above the rest in any discussion of male singers whose impact and influence has been unparalleled. From 1981 to 1996, Luther Vandross released 11 consecutive platinum/double platinum albums on CBS/Sony's Epic Records label starting with his Grammy-nominated, self-produced debut Never Too Much which is home to the toast of the town singles "Never Too Much," (No. 1), ""Don't You Know That," (No. 10) and "Sugar and Spice" plus a masterful rendition of the Burt Bacharach/Hal David penned, Dionne Warwick sung "A House Is Not a Home."
