      Gerald and his brother both discovered and put this Male R&B Vocal Group together back in 1999 known as Dark Blu that were on Soul Train Season 30, Espoide 25 that aired April 28th, 2001. 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.

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.

    Omg. Had no idea Shawn passed away also - he was just 39. 😞 And when I think about Gerald’s passing at the young age of 40, it’s heartbreaking...he made so much music we love and still enjoy today. RIH to them both.

    It’s funny how men blame women when they cheat on their wives. They said their mother was naïve about the temptations their father faced on the road. How about their dad control his urges? Instead they blame their mother for the marriage breakdown because she rightfully expected her husband to be faithful.

    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.

      @traciescott1871 3 года назад +3

      @Aretha- they cannot administer medication if the inmate is not in the hospital ward..... it's protocol to take all possessions upon entry to jail or prison. However, they were aware he needed medical attention and didn't act which lead to the withdrawals that would later cause his demise. Very sad, yet happens more often than discussed.
