Amen Cheryl,

This wonderful man will trully be missed...... I came upstairs last night and I turned my television on to watch the jazz station, the show was "Grown Folks Music". And as I sat there, this one song had ended and then the commercial came on with Gerald singing and I looked up to see  the dates on the bottom of the screen, I won't lie,  I couldn't breath for a good minute. It was very shocking to that this great man had died at such a young age.  I was very fortunate to grow up with his fathers music in my house. In the ninety's I had my own music of Levert in my house. I will continue to listen to his music. I still can't believe it. I will keep his family in my prayers. Take care everyone and God Bless.

Cheryl I am still in shock today about Gerald’s death… I got a phone call from my sister telling me that he had past… I did not believe it until I got on the Internet and I read that it was true. I was fortunate to see him sang (because he didn’t perform) a couple of years ago… the man was full of energy as he was singing all of his hits, you can just tell that he was singing from his heart and not just performing… I have to say it was one of the best concerts that I have ever attended. That is a moment that I will cherish forever. I had just put his cd Private Line (which is my favorite) on my ipod last week. I never knew that this week I would be saying that he is dead. But I know that he is in a better place and he has nothing else to worry about.

RIP GERALD LEVERT U ARE DEEPLY MISSED...

R.I.P Gerald we love you and i am sory that your close freind pass i will always be here if you need some one to talk to

I could not beleive it when I heard it over the radio on Friday afternoon. This very gentle, ever cudly man was gone. He could make a song come alive with his emotions and the when he "oooo oooo". If you were not in love, he made you want to find someone to love. My favortie song by Gerald is " Baby Hold onto Me". He will truly be missed, not only for his tremendous talent, but for his smile, charisma and charm.

My prayers are with his family and friends at this most difficult time.

You have definitely said it best. I received a call from my dad about the matter, and it was truly shocking. I really felt like mourning all day at work. (My higher authorities really didnt understand). I didnt know him personally, but I know  people that did.(Manager). Everyone who knew him had to be heart broken, which is natural. I cant even fathom the thoughts and pain that Mr. Eddie Levert is experiencing right now.(whew) It is really sad. Well, Like you instructed "Pepsii" I will be praying for his family, friends, and fans.

i will never forget the good music.........rest in peace Gerald Levert

I can actually remeber hearing Levert for the first time as a teenager and growing up the an appreciation for real R/B music.  He let the ladies know that i was ok to be loved and he also let the men know that it was ok to show love to their women.  He made and profound contribution to R/B music, the music business and the Black Community, he will be greatly missed.

May The Peace Of The Lord Be With Him And His Family!!

I've been listening to his music since i was a younger youngster....i couldn't believe he died either. I didn't want it to be true. When i seen an article here on the internet...i cried. He was truely a blessing to the industry. I will always and forever love him.

R.I.P Gerald Levert**Surely Missed

Mrs. Cheryl you is so right. I was watchin tv and all of a sudden a pic of Gerald came up in love and memory. I was like wat tha world. It jus caught me by surprise. Life is very short and you jus have to live it to tha fullest and don't let nothin or nobody hold u back. Some of tha most greatest people can be gone jus like that. My prayers go out to his family and friends. Jus hang on cause he's in a better place. Like Mrs. Cheryl said "God can do anything but fail". He's up there with god jus singing and rollin all over the clouds cause u know when he perform he goes all out. When he feels it, u can't do nothin but respect him at wat he does best and that's something we are going to miss. So to all u upcoming artist, take notes from this man cause he's a true ICON.   ~RIP GERALD LEVERT~ U will be missed. *GOD BLESS TO EVERYBODY*  $LADY AI$
