Johnny Gill: Gerald Levert Spent His Life Trying to Win a Grammy, He Won After He Died (Part 21) 

He didn’t need it. Extremely overlooked. Rip to him and Sean

He was a incredible singer...should have won a long time ago..

Gerald needed no Grammy. He was so talented.

I interviewed Eddie and Gerald Levert not long before he passed. They were on a father and son tour with Sean. Charming and funny men. Like talking to family. No airs about them. ❤❤

The Grammys should had awarded him when he was alive , they don’t give YOU your flowers when you’re alive when YOU die that’s when the love and flowers come smdh

Rest in peace Gerald Levert.

Bravo Mr. Gill!!! I have enjoyed this interview!!

Mama always knows! Prayers to you and your family. May GOD rest your soul Mama Gill 🙏🏾❤️

How could BET and Soul Train overlook Johnny G? Great live performer. He really brings it old school style. I saw him twice, once with LSG and once with Heads of State.

LEVERT - FOR REAL THO' ALBUM IS STILL 👑 🔥🔥🔥💯

3:20.... This is the first time of me hearing of Geralds death. RIP and congratulations on finally getting your award my dude.

michael Speaks had one of the best voices I ever heard. He was at Johnny's level vocally. But Michael's album didn't sell. The voice alone doesn't guarantee success.

Yessss "what God has for you no man can take"!!💯💯

Johnny Gil is right about receiving awards. If Marvin Gaye couldnt win for Whats Going On. In 2023 most of us know What Is Going On.

LLGV 💯👊🏾🙏🏾

2:55 he started to admit it. He was about to say he don't need to buy those awards. Lmao!

Im with Aries. We need to have our own award shows.

There are singers who I respect but don’t really feel their music. Then there are those like Johnny G whom I respect for the man he is as well as his artistry.

Good job Mr. Gill 🍊 😊

Really dope interview

Gerald never broke the conciousness of the white record-buying public because he didn't have "THE SONG" while he was alive. Luther had "THE SONG"; "Here And Now". Lionel Richie had a BOATLOAD of those songs. R&B has a certain groove & frequency & utilizes a bit of funk, jazz, soul & hip-hop(now); pop songs are a lot more concentrated on major & minor basic chords, less on the drum sounds & patterns. Gerald had GREAT success in the R&B market in the booth, behind the board, onstage without a mic, a MEAN pen game, great business acumen by signing Men At Large, not to mention R&B royalty AND his brother in the same group he was in? With all that said, he didn't hit "THE SONG" in his lifetime. Salute to the Levert family.

Another highlight of a legend . This interview was dope 💎

use a grammys as a door stop. RIP Levert

2 down, 4 from New Edition to go. Ralph T next or Mike Bivins

Johnny be explaining forever

Public Enemy said it best---"WHO GIVES AF ABOUT A G'DAMN GRAMMY!!!"

Johnny that dude

Who let him walkout in a camouflage skydiving jump suit 😂

No Fare weather friend 🎶

Whi need beats for they videos or to rap on

Big ups to Johnny but I’m saying this now… VLAD IS GOING TO USE JOHNNY’S last words as a way to big up his platform and his way of interviewing which is correct 💯 Keep up the great work Vlad and Staff

That's why I don't like the industry for this they make the black artist feel like if they haven't crossed over they hadn't made it when mostly all his albums and Records went gold and platinum but they don't view the same crossover for white artists to Black to verify they made it. And it's sad when these artists feel like they haven't made it in reality they have

They don’t appreciate you until you check out…cold world

After M. Jackson didn't one for Off the Wall, we all knew that shit was rigged.

He never interviews people from His culture. Are they not entertaining?

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

1st

No talented gifted music artist should ever measure their success based on winning a damn Grammy or any award! 🙄 We know who runs the Grammys & other award shows! I stopped watching the Grammys & Oscar’s over a decade ago, because of their biased choices. Since the 90’s the record industry has slowly pushed out R&B real talent! They pushed this BS “crossover “ appeal to white audiences and diluted to so called “pop music” artists who are biracial and “exotic “, with subpar untalented & voice enhancing technology . We saw this trend on American Idol, with the people they chose as the winners. Only a few has still gone strong in the business like Fantasia. But most of their winners was white or biracial. Thank goodness Jennifer Hudson didn’t win with their lame record labels! She is super talented, but they didn’t want her because she has that rich black songstress voice and was not anorexic thin. I am 60 years old and always loved Johnny Gill’s soulful vocals and gifted talent, since he was a teenager in the business. Don’t ever let any whyte award define your greatness! Your legacy is how you managed to be a great professional talented successful entertainer and is still filling up venues after 40 years. A lot of fly by nights can’t even fill up a bar! So count your blessings and understand that there are plenty of us out here who appreciate your legacy in the music industry! God bless. ❤️🙏🏾😊

Sorry but Johnny, you ain't that special. Great singer but that's it.

Legendary

Why don't he change shirts

An unusual voice??? Vlad your choice of words SMH......SMH......i can't

That was crazy how they did that. What an insult. 🥹

Don't speak about GOD to Vlad. He's a non-practice Jew and an atheist 😅😂 make it make sense.

@AshleySaysSo I thought of you when I saw this. 🤎
