Throughout his career, Vandross was an in-demand background vocalist for several different artists including Todd Rundgren, Judy Collins, Chaka Khan, Bette Midler, Diana Ross, David Bowie, Ben E.
IMO, he was navigating a time where the pop/jazz/R&B field was crowded and making competent but not spectacular music just didn't cut it. (Ap July 1, 2005) was an American singer, songwriter and record producer. For a chart career spanning 20+ years, he's only managed 5 top ten hits and even Never Too Much under-performed. When I look over his chart performance, as good as it is, I'm surprised it's not even better. I understand your very personal connection to DWMF and it is a lovely song.
