 Gerald Levert Biography and Update at SoulTracks
Soul man Gerald LeVert had an auspicious childhood as the son of RandB legend Eddie LeVert, the lead singer of the O’Jays, and the choice gene pool seemed to kick in at an early age.
Gerald’s voice was a near dead-ringer for his father’s distinctive, growling baritone, and his engaging lead took the group to the Pop and Soul top five with their Atlantic debut single, “Casanova,” an infectious midtempo tune written for the group by Midnight Star’s Calloway brothers.
Gerald was developing as a songwriter and vocalist, and fronted LeVert through a string of top Soul hits over the next few years, including #1s “My Forever Love,” “Just Coolin’” and “Baby I’m Ready.” However, his development also moved him into a first-among-equals status that invariably led to a solo singing career.
