The Life & Tragic End of Gerald Levert
Ойын-сауық
For two decades, Gerald Edward Levert was widely regarded as a charismatic performer and the last of the great soul singers. He was also an accomplished song writer. It was probably inevitable though since he was born into showbiz royalty. His father, Eddie Levert, is the lead singer of the legendary R&B group The O’Jays.

FUN FACT: Gerald Levert was featured in the song WRITTEN ALL OVER YOUR FACE by Rude Boyz in 1990. Glad it won a Billboard Award in 1991. Well-deserved!

This CLASSIC needed to grow on me. But, as an adult, I love it now! 😄
Tragic story. We lost entertainers, but Eddie lost two sons. I pray that he continues to find peace. Fun Fact: He also co-wrote and produced the Temptations’ 2000 hit “Selfish Reasons”.
I miss when people used to sing like this! Such a talented man from a talented family. May he rest in peace.

Agreed! Chris Brown at the beginning of his career is one of the very last few(if not the only) singers to sing like this. Everyone today seems purposefully monotone when they sing. It went from uplifting and passionate music to smoking and drinking music.
"Cassanova" will always be one of my faves.

Yes I agree ❤❤
RIP to both Gerald Levert and his brother Sean Levert
My Body by LSG is still a timeless song
Gerald and Eddie did their thang on “Baby Hold On To Me”. Such a special duet to do as a family but also such a soothing song to hug, kiss and vibe to with your special someone. The monotone R&B of today needs this type of innocence back in it’s genre.
I still cannot get over Gerald Le vert's death So sad Rest in peace
The LeVert family consists of some of the GREATEST singers of ALL time! Rest in peace Sean and Gerald. I feel for Eddie. 😔🙏🏾❤️🕊️
Leverts part in New Jack City is iconic. the harmony w/ Troop was perfection ❤
I saw that Nick Cannon cutaway when you mentioned multiple children. 😂

The best jam Gerald Levert ever released was "Casanova" almost 37 years ago
5:20 😅 I was blessed to see him live shortly before he passed 😢
I know Eddie is beyond brokenhearted. Losing two sons has to be devastating
“Pop, pop,pop, goes my minddddd” 💃🏾. Easily one of the best songs from the 80s, especially in the quiet storm/R&B section!! Gerald was so handsome. His father’s twin. RIP to him and his brother Sean ❤️❤️.
He had such a nice voice. I still listen to his music ❤
Gerald Levert is greatly missed. His talent is incredible.
Gerald Levert also appeared in the movie New Jack City and he also appeared on shows New York Undercover, The Jamie Foxx Show and The Parkers

Speaking of that I think that at the BET Awards this year they should due a performance of that song being that's it's the 30 anniversary of the song and Jason's Lyric. Jada Pinkett Smith and Allen Payne should introduce all of the singers to perform on the stage that night. Rest in peace to Gerald, Dino from H Town , and Melvin Edmonds from After 7 cause they're apart of the song as well.
LeVert was a great group. When Gerald 🙏🏾 passed it really shocked me...then later Sean 🙏🏾. Plenty of cookouts turning into parties where their music was played and sang to. Don't let it come on while riding in the car...TURN IT UP... THAT'S MY JAM!! May God continue to rest these 2 brothers souls ♥️♥️.
Gerald Levert was THAT GUY. Talk about a dude that could SING. Another talent gone too soon..... R.I.P........
Those DUETS he did with TEENA MARIE "A ROSE BY ANY OTHER NAME" and "ALL I WANT IS YOU" with KELLY PRICE & K C are 2 of the best duets EVER ❤

The O’Jays Are My Parents Generation. Levert Was Mine. Gerald Was Amazing. Velvet Voice and All. I Like His Feature With Yo-Yo. The Collab With Big Heavy D Just Coolin’ 🔥🔥🔥RIP 🙏🏿
Gerald singing "Somebody loves you baby" was something i wish was on cd or streaming services.
I LOVEEEE ME SOME GERALD LEVERT!! REAL BAD‼️ When I was in 8th grade I wanted to sing “Thinkin Bout It” for the talent show. My mom said “NO! Pick another gotdamn song!” Idk who or even if anybody hurt my lil feelings at the tender age of 13 but I was mad af I couldn’t sing it. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Such a amazing singer. They don't have performers like him anymore. Rip gerald levert and his brother

Yes!!! When speaking about having kids 3 days apart and showing Nick Cannon, I hollered!!😂😂😂
The song Casanova was later sampled by Doug E. Fresh for the song Cut That Zero and Junior M.A.F.I.A. sampled Casanova for their song Young Casanovas for the Def Jam's How to be a Player soundtrack
Great story on Gerald Levert

Gerald Levert discovered Trey Songz and that's how he got his record deal with Atlantic Records.
The Nick Cannon cut away is hilarious!😁
LSG's Levert Sweat Gill album was released on the same day as Timbaland and Magoo's debut album Welcome to Our World, Luniz's sophomore album Lunitik Muzik, and Mystikal's sophomore album Unpredictable on November 11th 1997
