A documentary about the life and career of legendary R&B singer Luther Vandross is in the works, with Jamie Foxx, Colin Firth, and Sony Music Entertainment as producers.

Award-winning filmmaker Dawn Porter is directing the first-ever documentary on the late Grammy award-winning singer who passed away at the age of 54.

Luther began his career as a backup singer for Roberta Flack, Chaka Khan, Bette Midler, Diana Ross and David Bowie. He released his successful, double platinum debut album, Never Too Much, in 1981 and has sold 40 million albums worldwide. Most of his albums achieved platinum or double platinum status, and he scored five Top 10 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, including “Here and Now,” “Endless Love” and “Power of Love/Love Power.” He earned 27 Top 10 hits on the R&B chart, including seven No.1s, and earned 33 Grammy nominations.

After Luther suffered a stroke and passed away in 2003, he won four awards including Song of the Year for the touching ballad, “Dance With My Father.”

“Luther is one of our GOATs,” Jamie Foxx said in a statement. “He’s one of the greatest singers in the history of music. It is truly an honor to be a part of the team to help bring this incredible story to the masses.”

The documentary will follow the iconic artist as he rises to the top of his career. According to the Hollywood Reporter, the film will include “access to his never-before-seen personal archive” and is being supported by his closest friends and family. Producers have partnered with Trilogy Films, the Estate of Luther Vandross and estate partner Primary Wave Music to create the doc.

The documentary announcement comes a month after award-winning filmmaker Patrik-Ian Polk told The Hollywood Reporter that he’s working on a Vandross biopic, based on Craig Seymour’s book, Luther: The Life and Longing of Luther Vandross.

Sony Music Entertainment’s Premium Content group is distributing the upcoming documentary. The idea for the project was originated by Trish D Chetty and Ged Doherty who are also producers of the film.

This should be a good one!
