R.I.P. Gerald Levert

For those unaware, Levert has been a seminal figure in the R&B world both as a solo artist, as a member of the groups LeVert and LSG, and as a producer for the likes of Barry White and Teddy Pendergrass. Levert came from a strong musical tradition, as his father Eddie was a key member of The O'Jays. Levert was never the superstar that someone like Bobby Brown was in his prime, but his vocal abilities and consistency always kept him relevant.
