3. Just damn!

I'm more familiar with his group Levert, with his brothers, back in the 90's.

4. Remember all the great songs he had and was a part of.

*Snip*

Levert scored pop success as a member of the R&B group Levert and as a member of LSG (Levert, Keith Sweat and Johnny Gill).

He later hit big with singles like "Casanova," "Pop, Pop, Pop, Pop (Goes My Mind)", "Mr. Too Damn Good to You" and others.

:cry: you will be missed, Gerald.

I didn't own his music, but I will always appreciate him for staying true to himself and music.

19. Sad news

I remember he did a duet album with his father Eddie (of the O'Jays) a few years back that was well received.

RIP :(
