If you missed CNN’s airing of the critically acclaimed Luther Vandross documentary, Never Too Much, you’re in luck. The network will reair the film tonight, Saturday, January 4, at 9 p.m. EST. While it was initially slated to air at 8pm, it was moved to accommodate coverage of Jimmy Carter’s death with the documentary Jimmy Carter: Rock & Roll President. If you miss tonight’s airing, you can watch the film on CNN’s app under “Featured” films on-demand if you connect it to your subscription (if you’re digitally savvy with an iPhone, you can AirPlay it on your TV!) or watch via Hulu if you have the streaming service’s live TV subscription.

The documentary, which premiered on New Year’s Day, quickly became a trending topic online as fans praised its moving retelling of Vandross’ iconic career and deeply personal journey. “Chile, I didn’t know I was going to get so emotional watching this documentary. Luther Vandross was so amazing. They better win awards for this documentary,” wrote one X user.

“My love for Luther Vandross runs deep! I couldn’t tweet during the documentary as I was emotional,” wrote another viewer on X. “I remember him being one of the first artist[s] I listened to on vinyl at the age of 8 and I’m thankful to have those same records in my collection.” From his unforgettable vocals and chart-topping hits to his private battles and enduring legacy, the film paints a powerful portrait of one of music’s most cherished voices.
