Grammy Museum To Open Luther Vandross Exhibit
The GRAMMY MUSEUM will open a new exhibit, “LUTHER VANDROSS: Artistry and Elegance,” on NOVEMBER 20th thru JUNE 15th, 2025. This exhibit will celebrate the life and legacy of LUTHER VANDROSS, reported VARIETY.
VANDROSS’ estate described the exhibit, “a special window into all of LUTHER VANDROSS’ talents,” noting his skills not only as a singer but also as a producer, live performer, stagecraft designer, wardrobe creator, and songwriter. Showcasing all of these elements of LUTHER the artist via the long-cherished possessions of his personal archives is a treat for die-hard fans and new ones.”
The exhibit will feature his stage wardrobe, original sketches, archival footage of studio recordings, handwritten lyrics, and sheet music for “Never Too Much.”
Longtime friend MARCUS MILLER said, “It’s incredible that with all the gifted singers out there, LUTHER was able to carve out his own totally unique space. No one could replicate LUTHER’s sound, his songwriting genius, or even his covers of other people’s songs.”
GRAMMY MUSEUM Curator KELSEY GOELZ commented, “LUTHER VANDROSS is a cherished icon who defined the smooth, jazz-inspired era of R&B and whose timeless love songs have graced countless events over the past several decades. The GRAMMY MUSEUM is thrilled to provide fans a close look into his achievements in the studio and onstage.”
