Amazon.com In a genre often overwhelmed with flash and flamboyance, Gerald Levert is a low-key love man. The son of O'Jays belter Eddie Levert, Gerald has served up a string of hits since the mid-'80s, either with the trio LeVert ("Casanova"), the '90s supergroup LSG ("My Body"), or as a solo artist. Yet despite his sustained success, he remains underappreciated, which is a shame because what the gruff-voiced singer lacks in Q-ratings he makes up for with his rugged delivery of romantic songs. His first CD since 1999's G is another collection of tough but tender R&B--grown-up in focus but laced with just enough edgy attitude. The down-home, late-night "Soul Mate" and the unabashedly sentimental ballad "Made to Love Ya" find Gerald testifying passionately about love and life's ups and downs. Without breaking a sweat, he gives better-known superstars something to aim for. --Amy Linden Product Description When it comes to classic R&B ballads and sexy grooves, Gerald Levert is the best in the business. Gerald has sold over eight million albums, and his most recent solo album, G, featuring the smash hit, "Mr. Too Damn Good," was his highest charting and fastest-selling album to date. He has had more than ten Top Ten R&B hits, and he has written, produced, or both, fourteen #1 R&B hits for himself and for an all-star list of today's top R&B and pop artists. He has won an NAACP Image Award and he's been a Grammy nominee. Always a brilliant live performer, Gerald's concert tours consistently pack the house everywhre he goes. On his new album, Gerald's World, he takes a very personal look at passion, love and life, and, as always, his powerful voice is the main attraction., ISBN13: B00005O6DO ISBN10: B00005O6DO Material Type: audioCD
