Levert, the son of O’Jays member Eddie Levert Sr., first hit it big with his sibling Sean and friend Marc Gordon as the trio LeVert in the mid-’80s. The group’s hits included the 1987 song “Casanova,” which hit the Top Five on the pop charts. Gerald Levert went solo in 1991 and formed a group, LSG, with singers Johnny Gill & Keith Sweat. Both solo and group ventures had numbers hits and sold over two million copies.
Gerald was and is still being missed by his millions of fans. We hope many can learn from his life.
