"Never Too Much," Luther Vandross (10/24/81)
Absolute heaven, and the stuff that hundreds of "smooth R&B" stations are built of (well, this and the entire Anita Baker oeuvre, but we'll get to her later). Gently swirling disco strings, a funkier-than-you-might-expect bassline, and lots of interesting production – oh, and did I mention The Voice? Say what you will about Luther, but like his idol Aretha he rises and falls on his material. And this is sterling material. I mean, who doesn't want to hear a lover cooing "a thousand kisses from you is [sic] never too much"? When it's coming from The Voice, I'll even forgive grammatical errors – and you know that's real.
