    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!

    Leverts part in New Jack City is iconic. the harmony w/ Troop was perfection ❤

    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.

    The LeVert family consists of some of the GREATEST singers of ALL time! Rest in peace Sean and Gerald. I feel for Eddie. 😔🙏🏾❤️🕊️

    Gerald Levert also appeared on the 1994 song U Will Know by Black Men United for the Jason's Lyric soundtrack

    • @larrymarshall8900

      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.

    @mr.mealldaylong8013 Před 6 měsíci +11

    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 ❤

  • @nicolesherman8974
    @nicolesherman8974 Před 6 měsíci +13

    “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 ❤️❤️.

  • @thebrownbaldy
    @thebrownbaldy Před 6 měsíci +9

    Gerald Levert was THAT GUY. Talk about a dude that could SING. Another talent gone too soon.....
    R.I.P........

  • @AmoMe2009
    @AmoMe2009 Před 6 měsíci +32

    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.

    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”.

    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 ♥️♥️.

    Juicy Pop, when I seen the Nick Cannon meme.. I fell out laughing! 😂😂 too funny. RIP to GL. Such a talented man .. from an awesome family. I’m from Ohio & many have that musical background.. including my family. Music is definitely the heart of Ohio. GL just did not sing… he could SANG.❤
