I’ve been listening to Gerald straight for two days. He had so many hits and a long career for his short life. Y’all please introduce your kids to his music so his legacy and real R&B can live on.
Growing up smokey , uncle Charlie , Luther , teddy , just to name a few , but Gerald set the standard and raise the bar ... He sang with devotion and passion , Mom Patti said it best !!! Baby boy you did your thang your way , Rip in peace King ..
He's talking to all the black men who deal with situations like this. This song had made a grown man shed a tear. R.I.P. Gerald Levert. I miss them rides to school back on thr gap, listening to my mama pop in that Gerald Levert tape.
I got into Gerald levert at a young age,my dad used to listen to him all the time he still does,this is true music right here, I rather listen to this music instead of the trash music today,I’m 25 now and I still listen to this legend
his voice still gives me chills,a tear always falls when I listen to Mr LeVert.he touches the depths of my soul when I hear him.hard to believe it's been a decade since the Lord called him home.
yes he sure does I love this man n its so sad he is gone but his music n all will live on,RIP Teddybear, he puts his entire heart n soul into his music,love him
I found a good one he tells me that he love me all the time and I tell him the same when call him he will always save hey my BABY HOW YOU DOING TODAY do you know how that make a women feel we been together for 23 years and still have the love for each other and RESPECT THAT MEANS A LOT. 😉
Girl thank you! when he died, I cried so hard my mom put her hand on my shoulder and said " You DO know that's wasn't YOUR man right?" Lol-It sure felt like it was...
Shite comment with no substance people like you are not real fans of music otherwise you would have something relevant to say. PS I seen Levert and the O'jays in concert Hammersmith Apollo in London see I'm a real fan that support the artist's buying record's going to concerts.
Sad that today's youth think that Trey Songz and Chris Brown are real R&B while they know nothing about Gerald, Keith and barely remember R. Kelly for anything that isn't scandalous.
R Kelly is a gifted song writer and singer but hell nigga is a disgrace a disappointment when it comes to morals he aint got none, nigga got the devil in him
Rest in power Gerald 🌹🙏🏾 This story represent when a man tries to make his ex-wife happy , He tried his best to be part of his kids life. Sometimes some fathers not in their kids life . seeing this video breaks my 💔 when an ex-wife won't let her ex-husband see their kids it happens in life. I don't questions all I can do is pray 🙏🏾🙏🏾
My love was so jealous of my love for him😁He knew if I got the chance with Gerald Levert I was leaving him in a heart beat😂😂🤔and he knew this man sung with so much soul all a brother could do was give him the woman;😁 with his sexy self..that sexy Gerald could REALLY,REALLY, sing!! Sorry it would have been game over for my love. Even tho he favored Gerald his ass can't sing... just kidding Honey but he took my heart, he took my car, he took my kids, he took my everything...when he left us down here😢💔💔💞🍃⚘🍃⚘⚘
How Edward Willis Levert manage to nurture his sons to be like him; it’s all amazing; I applaud all the positive parental being in this family; I love them
one of the true greats I am very thankful to not only seeing him perform n Baltimore but too meet the man is a memory I will take with me to my grave.... U are missed and truly loved and the world 🌎 is truly missing you...
YES, YES,YEEEESSSSS!!!! When this Man sanged; kinda like falling in Love again😍😍😍Whether it Pertain to Me or not😊😊😊Rest Peacefully in GOD's Beautiful Garden; Teddy Bear ✝
Beautiful beautiful beautiful my heart I feel that please let him have his children them children love they father and still do to this day my God continue to bless this family.
I remember seeing Gerald live here in Birmingham when he did city stages, he was so SEXY and HANDSOME. I had never seen him live before he did a fabulous show. I will truly miss him, he was suppose to be my second husband behind Luther. All I know is Gods choir is truly filed with great singers. There will never be anyone better than Gerald and Luther. When they passed I stopped listening to the radio.
So many men go through this crap, its so sad and pathetic, and the Kids suffer the MOST. But you know what, what goes around comes around. This country is growing ever weaker and weaker every day, because of having weak family structures..If you want a strong country, you gotta have strong families that make it up. Daniel 2:44 FOR ALL YOU FATHERS OUT THERE SUFFERING THIS MESS..Keep up the fight, do your best to stay strong and stay focused. And as long as your kids know you love them, they will eventually come back to you. But when Jesus comes back, it will be to change all this mess PERMANENTLY.
When I met him it was one of my highlights of my life even though my girl was slobbering at his feet I love all his music and will continue on to listen to it I miss that brother because nobody makes music like he did😢
All I can say is R.I.P. Gerald Levert his singing, words were and still is touching. Remind me of the love I Had with my husband...R.I.P. baby I still Love you! Thanks for sharing yourself with me...You are Missed and Always Loved!!!!💙😘🙏
This is a song every Black Man needs to listen carefully to. The injustice system will become your nightmare. Remember this line: "Got the nerve to take my crib, now you want to take my kids". Basically he saying you ripping my soul out.
Doesn't have to be that way Michael B... I fought for and was awarded full custody of my 3-yr-old daughter and 4-yr-old son back in 1999 and the mother was not "unfit" .. first of all, you've already lost if you look at past history.. when I would sit down and interview an attorney, as soon as he or she started talking about how 'impossible' and how 'improbable' it would be for me to get custody, I would shake their hands, thank them for their time and walk out.. as soon as I came across Attorney Mark Hines (who I dubbed, little Johnnie Cochran), he said, "Mr. Shaw, I'll do everything I can to help you get custody." That's all I needed to hear, someone who believed I had a chance because I was going to do most of the work myself. I started taking parenting classes, came to the final hearing with 4 parenting certificates (most of the classes were free).. also, never said one negative word about the mother (it's a mistake to go to a custody hearing trying to prove a mother to be unfit.. if she's unfit her demeanor, attitude and history will speak for itself, your focus has to be 100% on the children) and hired a Guardian ad Litem.. she did a 6-month investigation and her recommendation to the judge was that the father be awarded custody.. 99 times out of 100 the judge will follow the Guardians recommendation... You can WIN esp if you are a man, you have a son and you've been there from day one... but you can't have a defeatist attitude... throughout my history, if I believed I had RIGHT on my side, I never lose.... Over the years I've shared my story with women and usually, their reply is, "no one is taking my kids from me.." What they fail to comprehend is that if you're in a custody battle, that is not going to be her decision to make, that would be the judge's decision. And if the decision goes against the mother and she refuses to comply, she's going to JAIL and the kids are going with dad anyway... Plain and simple.
Gerald Levert is the R&B I listen to him everyday all day my kind of music ❤️
I’ve been listening to Gerald straight for two days. He had so many hits and a long career for his short life. Y’all please introduce your kids to his music so his legacy and real R&B can live on.

Me 2 I love me some Gearld LeVert 2024❤
Gerald Levert was one of those singers who made you feel the emotions of the song!

My world many years ago. It was reality ! Gerald never leaves my selection even in 2019 !
It was. It's about his divorce
Listing in 2019
No one sings like this anymore. Truly missed🕊
Sad that today's youth think that Trey Songz and Chris Brown are real R&B while they know nothing about Gerald, Keith and barely remember R. Kelly for anything that isn't scandalous.

I'm so loving all these love songs tonight, missing love that I use to feel
This is a song every Black Man needs to listen carefully to. The injustice system will become your nightmare. Remember this line: "Got the nerve to take my crib, now you want to take my kids". Basically he saying you ripping my soul out.
Michael B
He said "love life soul from me...." in the original version. I think they shortened it for the video.
Doesn't have to be that way Michael B... I fought for and was awarded full custody of my 3-yr-old daughter and 4-yr-old son back in 1999 and the mother was not "unfit" .. first of all, you've already lost if you look at past history.. when I would sit down and interview an attorney, as soon as he or she started talking about how 'impossible' and how 'improbable' it would be for me to get custody, I would shake their hands, thank them for their time and walk out.. as soon as I came across Attorney Mark Hines (who I dubbed, little Johnnie Cochran), he said, "Mr. Shaw, I'll do everything I can to help you get custody." That's all I needed to hear, someone who believed I had a chance because I was going to do most of the work myself.

You can WIN esp if you are a man, you have a son and you've been there from day one... but you can't have a defeatist attitude... throughout my history, if I believed I had RIGHT on my side, I never lose....
Over the years I've shared my story with women and usually, their reply is, "no one is taking my kids from me.." What they fail to comprehend is that if you're in a custody battle, that is not going to be her decision to make, that would be the judge's decision. And if the decision goes against the mother and she refuses to comply, she's going to JAIL and the kids are going with dad anyway... Plain and simple.
Those background singers were sangin'. Harmonizing together with a capital H. ❤💯
Oh, I just love how he shook his shoulder and fell back into that soulful groove and the glance backwards at the end💔💋💘
