GERALD LEVERT'S BIO:
Renowned for his powerful, smoldering baritone, Levert came from a rich lineage of R&B singers. Before striking out as a solo artist, he was a member of the popular ’80s family group, Levert. His father Eddie Levert, whom Gerald is often compared to, was a member of the ’70s heavyweight group the O’Jays. Born in Cleveland, Ohio on July 13, 1966, Gerald learned the ropes of the music industry from his father.
Although he enjoyed considerable success with Levert, singing on such late-’80s and early-’90s staples as “Pull Over,” “Pop Pop Pop (Goes My Mind),” and “Casanova,” Gerald really came into his own when he released his solo debut, Private Line in 1991. Songs like the title track, “School Me,” and “Baby Hold on to Me” (featuring his father Eddie,) established him as true R&B balladeer able to compete with already reputable crooners such as Luther Vandross, Freddie Jackson and Lionel Richie.
Three years later, Gerald teamed up with his father for the modern R&B classic album, Father & Son, which spawned the hits, “Already Missing You” and “Don’t Make Me Beg.” Through the rest of the ’90s and well into the following decade, Gerald Levert solidified his as one of his generation’s most compelling and popular R&B singers.
Levert also became famous for a series of love duets with Teena Marie, Patti Labelle and Kelly Price, among others. In 1997, he joined an offshoot trio, LSG with fellow soul stirrers, Johnny Gill and Keith Sweat; they released two discs – Levert Sweat Gill (1997) and LSG2 (2003). His last solo disc, Do I Speak for the World came out in 2004.
