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!
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.
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.
“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 ❤️❤️.
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.
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 🙏🏿
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 ♥️♥️.
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. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
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
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
Da Velvet Teddy Bear! 🧸 I remember He play'd Jamie Fox's Mom's Boyfriend on His Show. Now I Know Where Spice 1 got his inspiration for "Pop Goes My Nine" from!!
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.❤
