April 15th 2024🎉 I am here with you! I lost my identical twin sons. When I look at Eddie I am happy that he can look back at these live performances!😢 I believe he lost two sons also 😢
😢If this song, and this passionate performance doesn’t “move”you….nothing will! Eddie and Gerald are definitely two of the best. Like Father, Like Son! 💜💚💙
I'm a grown arsed man. And I just broke down crying like a little kid at the 4:00 mark. And I never cry over ANYTHING. Sittin' here with my eyes swollen...smh. Between seeing this Father/Son exchange (never met mine...lol), Gerald's death and remembering my relationship heartbreaks over the years. It's potent and powerful! Strangely, this song soothes instead of depressing my soul! Much respect to these two legends. R.I.H. to both Levert sons. And thank you Eddie.
THEE VOICES MAN!!!!!!!!!!! Eddie & Gerald.... A masterpiece that’ll last forever!! The live performances of this song from them were all classic & priceless!!🔥🔥🔥🔥 RIP GERALD🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 & SHAWN🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I love Eddie and Gerald. I feel so sorry for the father and the whole family. Loved Sean and Gerald so much. He is a very strong man. I will always listen to the Leverts music. Eddie hang in there God loves you AMEN
I always said that the Leverts were the King, the Prince, and the Father of soul music. Edddie being the father, Gerald being the King, and Sean being the Prince.
STILL listening in Sept 2021...STILL hits your soul the same way as it used to back in the day...listening with the face scrunched up bc they are singing the mess out this song face lol
My brother Big G!! I was in G’s cedar closet in 2000 and bro still that sweater!!! G didn’t get rig if none his outfits!! Miss him and Sean dearly!!! Nothing but good times!! Shout out to Cleveland and Trevel Productions!!!!!
Undeniably one of the greatest duets to ever exist, and it came from a father and son who could honestly put a lot of these artists today to shame. No lip syncing just real authentic voices. If this song and performance doesn’t move you, then nothing will.
❤❤ I always dreaded the day Eddie Levert got older or Ill because that voice he was blessed with was one of a kind. He could make you melt at the intro of his song. That voice he passed down to his sons God knew what he was doing blessing those beautiful men with the looks to match the voices. When Gerald and Sean passed, Eddie was a reminder every time he performed of where it all started. ❤❤❤
❤❤❤❤ What a blessing for them both and to be able to perform before both were taken from us. Real R&B like this will never get old ❤❤❤❤ wish it was still here
Always LOVED Gerald! Loved his brother & love his dad too. These men can & could SANG. That 4 minute mark is EPIC!!! This song is so powerful and sad...bc Gerald is not here anymore to sing it...but Thankful for His Music that still LIVES on❤❤
Love this song and the way they put their hearts into it when singing it! Lyrics are Soo very true because true love is even harder to find than it was back then. So when you find that real special love, hold on tight y'all!💞
I held on to the love of my life my hsband Al Weaver for 53 years he has been gone for 9 years now and I am still holding on RIP until we are together again
Always wondered if Mr. Eddie LeVert! If he had a Son. Would he be able to keep up with his Dad? This is the proof!! Electrifying!! I could have image slaying these Love Ballads together! A Proud Father and a Sensational Son. Would make anybody proud. I introduced Leverts!! We love you!! Made our lives a little bit better. When we embrace this thing called Life! BABY! JUST HOLD ON .....! 🎶🎶✨💥💯👏👏👏🙏🙏👍
Wow!! The first time I ever seen this performance by great son , neat dad, that's never but love. Dad you did great raising, God bless your heart. R.I. P. Gerald LeVert
Okay folk, fight me on this claim: The two top voices since us and our parents, in soul. I'm willing to get busted with Teddie and Donny Hathaway and others, but isn't it fun to adore the LeVert excellence?
Those two bring chills to me, they are such incredible singers! God Bless you Eddie for raising your boys so well. Not to mention their voices, fantastic!
Eddie loved his son when singing they show so much affection the harmony is beautiful so happy and proud 😅love love and their dance moves are together . God Bless Eddie we will listen forever and always until the End of Time.😇👏🙏🏽

Daddy and his son. Will be together again one day. Baby hold on to me! 🙏🏾
Saw them live in the 70’s . Glad to see one of the original O’Jays is still circling the sun after all he has been through.
This will Alwayz be a Legendary Love Song💎💞🐐 #babyholdon2me
I love to hear them sing together. But I got to say this. The Daddy is a true Master of a Singer. He knows how to do Ad libs when it comes to singing.
I miss Gerald. 2024 Cleveland stand up.
Memories Man me and my brother(RIP)we use to sing this song. I would do Gerald and he would do Eddie's
My Best Friend and My third. Father A family that. I took to the. Heart. Love you. Ms Hall
Okay folk, fight me on this claim: The two top voices since us and our parents, in soul.
I'm willing to get busted with Teddie and Donny Hathaway and others, but isn't it fun to adore the LeVert excellence?
Teddy is definitely the real deal
@@James-hs7eg yes Teddy is a favorite of mine. Sorry his life was cut ✂️ short.
I miss him I love his music 🎙🎶🎵❤
Those two bring chills to me, they are such incredible singers! God Bless you Eddie for raising your boys so well. Not to mention their voices, fantastic!
Such a beautiful duet filled with sadness
Now this what I’m talkin about 🔥🔥🔥👏👏
Best Father & Son Song I didn't even know that it was that old 30 years
Eddie was an absolute monster!!
The early 90s were the best days.
Lord knows we wished many times that we could have held on to you. Your voice is greatly missed. Eddie Levert are prayers are with you even today.
This brings back such great memories. So glad I got to see The O'Jays & Gerald (RIP) tour together years later.
2024 here❤
Eddie loved his son when singing they show so much affection the harmony is beautiful so happy and proud 😅love love and their dance moves are together . God Bless Eddie we will listen forever and always until the End of Time.😇👏🙏🏽
