"Too Much, Too Little, Too Late"
Song
B-side	"Emotions"

"Too Much, Too Little, Too Late" is a song performed by singers Johnny Mathis and Deniece Williams. Released as a single in 1978, it reached number one on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 pop chart, number nine on the Canadian Singles Chart and number three on the UK Singles Chart. It also topped the US R&B and adult contemporary charts. The duo released a follow-up duet, "You're All I Need to Get By", peaking at number 47 on the Hot 100.

The single was a comeback of sorts for Mathis as it was his first number one since his chart-topping hit, 1957's "Chances Are". The success of the duet with Williams prompted Mathis to record duets with a variety of partners including Dionne Warwick, Natalie Cole, Gladys Knight, and Nana Mouskouri.

A compilation album also called Too Much, Too Little, Too Late released by Sony Music in 1995 featured the title track among other songs by the duo.
