The TRAGIC Truth About R&B Group LeVert
Рет қаралды 749,045
3 жыл бұрынR&B trio LeVert consisted of brothers Gerald and Sean Levert and Marc Gordon. The Cleveland-based group heated up the charts in the ‘80s and ‘90s with memorable songs, like “Casanova.” Gerald’s voice, charisma, and stage presence solidified LeVert’s position as one of the most talented and entertaining groups in the industry. After selling millions of records, LeVert disbanded. They planned to reunite, but back-to-back tragedies cut their plans short.

I work closely with the original singers of the group as Gerald Levert was a big mentor to them. It's a tragic loss for both brothers but the Levert legacy will live on forever.

Gerald and Sean Levert came from R&B royalty. They were destined 4 greatness, having a father who was part of the legendary R&B group The O'Jays! With Gerald and Sean, plus Marc Gordon, their group Levert became very popular n the music industry. They appeared in the movie New Jack City singing by a makeshift fireplace 2 keep warm. They had a very appealing sound and the look to go with it! Gerald always stood out amongst the group as the sexy, smooth crooner. Gerald and Sean will remain n our hearts 💕 4ever. May they both Rest n Peace. Kudos 2 Marc Gordon 4 keeping the memory of Gerald and Sean alive! Marc and Levert II, we love u and hope u will continue 2 make sweet music or get back 2 it! Good, heart warming, soul touching music like you all made is hard 2 come by anymore.

Sean was a really really really cool guy I went to school with him on Cleveland, Ohio. Shaker Height High School turn out some great people. Sean would sing at our school parties. He graduated in 1987 and I in 1988. When I was headed to the high school Gerald had graduated in 1984. These was some AWESOME years in school. I miss both of them dearly.

First off The O'Jays where my favorite group back in the day. Along with millions of other fans I don't believe another group today, can sing like they did. I lost my daughter to cancer, so I know the pain that he's going through with losing both of his talented Sons. My heart goes out to you Eddie but we must learn to live with the pain until we see them again. Love you love you love you as I did your Sons. You make sure to continue taking care of yourself and I'd love to hear another song or album from you. May God continue to bless you.

I remember going to a concert a few years ago with El Debarge, Keith Sweat, Johnny Gill, and Eddie Levert. El gave a tribute to his brothers and then LSG. Levert( Eddie), he sang Gerald's parts. It was sooo Beautiful. I felt it was a Memorial to All. From El and Eddie. "My Forever Love" will Always be my favorite. Just the start of the song is Everything!
