I saw ya'll keep asking for it on the Judy Garland video so I said what the heck why not? LOL But this dont mean it's gonna stay up! ATTN: Disturbing Footage of Sean Levert here👉🏾👉🏾 th-cam.com/video/U50gOUGQzLk/w-d-xo.htmlsi=t-WyfsWGMAM_LOrJ
Buddy and his Mom who was an Evangelist &if im not mistaken a younger sister or neice as well as Joe would come to my Fathers church on St.Clair I LOOOOOOOOOVED hearing them...R.I.H🙏
I took my ex wife to see Patti Labelle and Gerald Levert at The Fox Theater in Detroit in1999 and after Levert was done opening up, me and my wife ran into one of my buddies who was a local music promoter. He took us backstage to meet Gerald Levert and i remember it was a bunch of people back there, a whole lot of Churches Chicken and some Miller Genuine Drafts. We were able to take a picture with Levert and a few months later me and my wife had a bad fallout and i moved out briefly, when i came back a couple months later i noticed our picture on the mantle with Levert only showed her next to him because she took some scissors and cut me out the picture smh lol.
The Industry has yet to explain how you can sell A Million Copies of an album and not be considered "pop". "Pop" means "popular", not "white" and it don't get much more popular than ONE MILLION PEOPLE buying your album; ESPECIALLY in the 80s/90s when you had to LEAVE YOUR HOUSE and GO TO THE RECORD STORE to buy an album. The industry is so very intentionally unfair.
I remember seeing Gerald Levert's Unsung and hearing that he didn't want to marry Miki Howard because she already had kids and wasn't like his mom. But then i also remembered hearing that he had two kids within the same year by two different women and was also creepin with a ton of women so i was confused by his " moral compass" 🤔
All these medical advances and they couldn’t check Gerald better than that? He’s having trouble breathing, feeling sickly, got bit by something overseas? Like, come ON! Such a tragic and unnecessary loss.
So he was mad at his daddy for how he treated his mother. And at the same time expected these women to just accept from him the very same treatment his father gave his mother.
This is why mental health is important. We aren't always aware of our behaviors. Therapy helps unpack trauma, behaviors, and cycles; they become apparent to us and hopefully we work to change
I noticed most sons who grow up with a father that exhibited bad behavior would cuss out their father but then grow up and do exactly the SAME thing their father did.
Chile, I just watched a biopic on her. It was terrible but I loved her hits and never knew they dated. I was a kid but I recently learned he dated Kim Whitley. Idk if I believe that.
My auntie was this man biggest fan. Everyone in Miami knew how much she love him. The day he died I remember vividly because my aunt was crying so hard that the police came over asking was she ok. I told them “Gerald levert died,” and that man rolled his eyes so hard at us. I was so embarrassed because we was out in public and so many ppl came over to check up on her😂😂. She was so distraught that she couldn’t drive home and she wouldn’t let me drive because I still had my restricts, so I had to call my mama and brother to drive the car home…lol. I was pissed tf off so bad..my mama & brothers was laughing so hard lol . To this day I’m trying to figure out how the he’ll she got an obituary from this man funeral
@@mz.superior3014 listen she met him here in Miami at this club they used call Bermuda. She knew the DJ and told Gerald how much my aunt loved him. He pulled her on stage and sung “Baby hold on to me,” she called my mama around 4am screaming and hollering talking about he sung to her and kissed her…lol. They took a picture that night but somehow the picture half way developed she cried so bad. Lol
@@manestage5403 yessssssssss from the actual funeral. She said a friend of a friend of a friend went to this funeral and they knew how much she loved him. They mailed it back to Miami for her. Her current husband of 15 years just laugh at her cause he said “my wife is sick in the head about a decease man.” 😂😂😂 to this day she still love him like that lol
I met his dad when I was little girl. I was so confused I didn’t understand how how the son got so old😂 I use to see the rude boys and man at large. They Recording studio was on 93 right across from my grandparents house. We use to sit on the porch and wait for them to come out every time..
One of my favs!!! I was surprised to know they were actually from Canton Ohio. It is because of that I started to like it here better. If thy kind of talent can come out of canton Ohio the. I may be on to something. Rest in Peace🙏🏾❤️
The way Sean died was a real shame Edit: And to give that combination of meds to someone who was no longer hysterical was incredibly irresponsible. That's basically three sedatives, two of them very strong. They let him suffer and didn't do anything until the damage was all done.
This is so sad. Gerald Levert was a one of a kind artist. He was a favorite of mine. He sang every note with his soul. His duets with Miki Howard were 🔥. Such a heartbreaking end for him and for Sean. He wasn’t even given the basics of care. Their poor mom losing both sons. I cannot imagine.
Babeeeeee I hollered when Ashley put the picture up of Darius McCray who played Gerald Levert and the actress who played Miki in the Miki Howard movie 😂😂😂
The fact they were VERY young when LeVert took off in the mid to late 80s makes this very sad. LeVert was a legendary group and Gerald Levert is a legend by himself. Tragic ending for both brothers. ☹️
"Me and Romeo aint never been friends". 😂😂😂 that line always cracked me up! A shame they're both gone. They were very talented brothers. RIP to them both! And ofcourse, thanks for posting Ashley.
Because Barry meant that “Here I am, practice on me” 😂😂😂😂 Barry was laying it low & spreading it wide! Gerald knew who was gonna bring that song to life!
Oh Ashley, it’s not that I haven’t heard the Gerald and Sean Lavert story many times but it’s your narrative that sets your story apart from others. I am distraught all over again of how Sean passed and as a retired nurse I know what he went through. Thanks so much for your excellent work.
I feel that exact way about a lot of the stories she tells. I dnt care if i heard the story 1000×s times. I guess I'm going listening to it a thousand and one times because i know Ashley is going put her own spin on it, which makes the story interesting all over again.
Unfortunately the doctor never diagnosee Gerald with pneumonia. He went home, self-medicated which resulted in the accidental overdose. Many of Gerald's family members were on his payroll which pressured him to work when he was not well. Sean's Law was passed in Ohio after that jail practically killed him.
I feel the jail and the hospital failed Gerald and Sean because they did not give them proper treatment. They caused this lady to loose her two kids because of misdiagnosis. Sad
Sean called Eddie to bail him out once he was arrested. It happened like on a Thursday or Friday. Eddie wanted him to sit in jail over the weekend before bailing him out. Eddie told this story on the Tom Joyner show.
Very true about Kim. My uncle Joe Little checked ✔️ TF outta Kim for talking to me crazy cause I was sitting next to Gerald. Kim said, "oh, she family." 😅 she really was 🤪 crazy about Gerald.
She was snappy with me too and G and I were just friends. I never seen a woman that obsessed over a man like she was with G. G didn't like her personality really because she was too goofy and aggressive.
Nobody and I mean absolutely nobody tells a story like Ashley! A lot of these artists and actors are new to me but I always leave feeling like I grew up watching these people!❤
Whew...Time nor tomorrow is not promised. R.I.P. to the LeVert Brothers. Pop Pop Pop Pop will always be my JAMM. Followed by Winter, Spring, Summer Fall! 🙏🏿🙏🏿
I loved Gerald man 😢 I cried the day he died and stayed home from work to watch his funeral live on line. Sat on my couch dressed in all black and wailed hunny My kids still talk about that to this day lol RIH my dear Gerald May you and Sean be at peace and singing together in Heaven ❤❤❤❤❤
I'm shamelessly one of the 35,000 Gerald was engaged to 😂😂 the man was fine AF! Gerald wasn't lying when he said "you know my back is strong, let me show you" on that one song 😂 Ashley have you seen his son? 🥰 a photocopy!
I love Ashley Says So. (especially the Debarge episodes) As a Clevelander still closely affiliated with some of the folks mentioned in here why do I feel guilty as if I’m gossiping watching this one😂😶He was a great man and both he and his brother left a hole in hearts, Cleveland and music when they passed away. Rest peacefully 🕊️
One of my close friends was ONE of his boos. I remember when he passed. She was devastated. She knew his family and everything. She went to his funeral. She flew out from Oakland, CA to Ohio. She took a week off from work. His death really affected her. But like I said... she was ONE of his boos...😢 she met Kim but Kim didnt like her (the competition). Kim WAS really jealous and possessive. 😂. Kim wouldn't leave the room because my friend was there. Kim was in the hotel room reading scripts for Cousin Skeeter when they met. She went to celebrity parties with G and saw Eddie & Johnnie openly as a couple. G had to tell her to close her mouth. 🤣 She was SHOCKED to see the truth in her face. G warned her not to take any pictures with her phone or he wouldn't take her anywhere else. She wanted to take pics of E & J SO bad, but she knew she couldn't. True story. Funny, but she was one of Cedric's boos too. She said "you know how Cedric moves when he dances? Well, Ced got moves in the bdrm too." What? She had me cracking up!😂 My friend was truly a groupie. She's married now and a faithful Jehovah's Witness and an author. She also met Mary J and was put forth to Mary to be her stylist, but Mary chose someone else. This was after Mary stopped working with Misa as her stylist. My girl is fly though... still. RIP Eddie and Shawn.
@NajiLovely my friend has so many stories. She would "hold court" as we all sat around and listened to her stories. Girrrlah... it was A LOT! It could be a series or even a book, like Superhead Karrine Steffan did, but she is so far removed from that life now. She's an author, but she doesn't write about that part of her life. She is a devout Jehovah's Witness, and I am a devout Christian now. She won't write about that part of her life. But it's cool that I was pseudo part of that life through her. Nothing wrong with remembering the past. 🤷🏽♀️
I saw the Sean video when it first happened and that truly broke my heart to see him suffering and being mistreated while incarcerated. I’m retired from the jail and every inmate that comes do a intake with the nurse and then the doctor after being there a day or two. And then someone from the mental health department do an assessment with them as well. So the jail he was in definitely dropped the ball including the guards. They should’ve alerted someone from the mental health department as soon as he started acting strange…smh. May Sean and Gerald continue to Rest In Peace 🙏🏾
The way him died was sad but the wy Sean died is so heart breaking. I'm glad it wasn't in vain & that their Legacies live on especially Sean's deat creating Sean's law in Ohio R.I.P 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽💕💕💕
Yes Huneee!. This was very good!.. Hearing their stories, brought back, memories of their extremely untimely passing. My Heart still hurts for Eddie, Its very difficult to see your child in a casket, and hes experienced this twice!. Rest Peacefully Guys. 🕊🌹🕊
I’m mad at the negligence of that staff, anybody in healthcare would know that he was in withdrawal, how incredibly negligent. I’m glad the family sued.
Just an added note from a Clevelander. Per investigation, Sean never had a legal prescription for the pills, and none of his healthcare providers would verify or write a prescription for the Cuyahoga County jail. The county settled with the family because they did not have Sean evaluated after he presented to the jail with the baggie full of pills. The jail still doesn't give prescription drugs to inmates without a verified prescription.
Me, my sister and mom were vacationing in Hawaii when I was about 13 and we ran into Gerald on the beach. He was such a nice person and even made a small shout out video for my GMA. He definitely was a teddy bear and good looking man.
This was soo good Ashley ❤ and watching Gerald roll around on that stage 😂 it had to be some kind of tribute to Ms.Patti! It tickled me! The ending was soo sad 😞
This is terrible 😭😭😭. Especially knowing this could be prevented on both accounts. I'm going to go cry now! 😭😭😭😭 Gerald was my bae and this hurts even more! And thanks for the trigger warning for the other video. I refuse to watch. It's too much 😢😢😢
Lord, benzo withdrawal can be fatal, people can have seizures. You can't stop Xanax cold turkey. Yeah I know the Leverts got a big settlement that's all kinds of malfeasance. Also, the RN left a restrained patient unsupervised, good Lord this is so sad.
👏👏 SILENCE!!! Ashley is on the mic.... Two tales back-to-back! What a blessing... maybe I should go buy a lottery ticket today! After Ashley of course.....
Pause….fast forward to this year when Kim Whitley called herself trying to make fun of Monique, I wonder is she still sore about that whole situation!? It makes you wonder
Thanks @AshleySaysSo. I waited patiently for the Gerald Levert story. When it was announced that he died, I was driving home from work and had to pull over because the tears started flowing. I think because of the untimeliness of his death, I got really sad. Thanks for this story.
Fun fact: my children father robbed Sean Leverts house and was sent to Glen Mills in the very early 90’s. Guess what he never committed another crime again.
@@MauvaisetBourgeoise I’m from Philly, however Glen Mills at that time took kids from all around and my children father was from Cleveland/Canton Ohio. Where Sean lived. I thought he was lying until his dad got upset with him and spoke on it.
Why is this a "fun fact". Your father broke into someone's home, a place where we should all feel safe. Not only that, he stole the man's property. Girl bye!!
Me and Marc Gordan went to school together...we were marching band...he played trumpet...NOBODY knew he could sing. He was EXTREMELY QUITE!!..You couldnt stick him with a pin and make him say OUCH...LOL...funny...like Gerald song says...They had Geralds funeral downtown and it was a CRAZY!!..it was open to the public we stood outstide for HOURS...it was a like a who's who of entertainers...EVERYONE that was free that day (entertainers wise ) showed up....I think it lasted about 4-5 hours...it was CRZY..I remeber the actor who played "Pinky: in Next Friday Clifton Powell taking it really hard...he had a heartfelt speech about his estrangement from his own son at that time...I also remember ..every food vendor IN CLEVELAND was downtown making money...They were regular guys here. You would see them just round and about everywhere. Gerald was the one who encouraged Kym whitley...he was the one who told her she looked like Jackee Harry from 227 and she should go out to hollywood she was funny and talented. She went to school not far from me Shaker Hts. It was as a stonethrow away from my high school. As a matter of fact our schools were rivalries...LOL .LAST UPDATE...The original funeral/memorial was supposed to be at the same church that the two black pastors who back TRUMP here in Cleveland. That infamous Darryl C Scott and His wife...(two criminals ex pimp, drugs, skipped out on their mansion rent and got sued..another story) up in Cleveland Hts BUT Gerald's family or mother is a DEVOUT jehovah's witness and FORBID it to be held inside a church. Its a mega church. So they had it downtown at the convention center.
My family and I had an opportunity to meet LeVert back around '87 when my father worked for Miller Brewing company. They use to throw concerts thru their Miller Sound express company. We met alot of celebs back then: Roger and Zapp, Shirley Murdock, Isley brothers,etc. Man those were the days! Im shocked to hear that gerald never won a Grammy because his music was on point. Its sad how he left this Earth. And IDK why Kym whitley was going hard like that and he wasnt going hard like that for her 🤦🏾♀️ I feel that the correction's department was responsible for the failure to take care of Sean. They dont care about anyone in prison. Anyway Ashley another good video!
Miki Howard and Gerald Levert remain connection through the years. It was Gerald who told her to get clean when she was drugs. Kandi Burruss also remains close to Gerald's family. Gerald put pressure on women to be like his mother but wants to be mad at his father for cheating on his mother and eventually leaving her for another woman. He treated women the same way his father treated his mother. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Kym Whitley was engaged four times and admitted that it was her why none of her engagements turned into marriage. She had a fear of marriage. On her reality show Raising Whitley, she referred to herself as a "runaway fiance." She said on her Uncensored episode that she would have married Gerald simply because he was her best friend. Gerald regretted not keeping "Practice What You Preach" for himself.
It's obvious their parents divorce and father's remarriage affected them. At least Gerald was honest with himself and others. He knew he could not be faithful and didn't marry.
Thank you Ashley this was great! I remember well both these days the brothers left here. Very sad. Such talent gone. If it weren't so tragic you could almost call it a comedy of errors.😢😢😢😢😢
I saw ya'll keep asking for it on the Judy Garland video so I said what the heck why not? LOL But this dont mean it's gonna stay up!

I'm shamelessly one of the 35,000 Gerald was engaged to 😂😂 the man was fine AF! Gerald wasn't lying when he said "you know my back is strong, let me show you" on that one song 😂 Ashley have you seen his son? 🥰 a photocopy!
Me too, girl...I sadly, I just did my confessional in the comment section a second ago.
Lucky ladies❤

How did you meet
I love Ashley Says So. (especially the Debarge episodes) As a Clevelander still closely affiliated with some of the folks mentioned in here why do I feel guilty as if I’m gossiping watching this one😂😶He was a great man and both he and his brother left a hole in hearts, Cleveland and music when they passed away. Rest peacefully 🕊️
Not the lipstick alley tea 😂😂😂
Why you done came in here being messy😭😭😭
@@AshleySaysSo20do you visit that site
😂😂Kim ready to commit a crime on camera.
Yes!!!! Thank you for releasing a vault classic!
You're so welcome❤️
One of my close friends was ONE of his boos. I remember when he passed. She was devastated. She knew his family and everything. She went to his funeral. She flew out from Oakland, CA to Ohio. She took a week off from work. His death really affected her. But like I said... she was ONE of his boos...😢 she met Kim but Kim didnt like her (the competition). Kim WAS really jealous and possessive. 😂. Kim wouldn't leave the room because my friend was there. Kim was in the hotel room reading scripts for Cousin Skeeter when they met. She went to celebrity parties with G and saw Eddie & Johnnie openly as a couple. G had to tell her to close her mouth. 🤣 She was SHOCKED to see the truth in her face. G warned her not to take any pictures with her phone or he wouldn't take her anywhere else. She wanted to take pics of E & J SO bad, but she knew she couldn't. True story. Funny, but she was one of Cedric's boos too. She said "you know how Cedric moves when he dances? Well, Ced got moves in the bdrm too." What? She had me cracking up!😂 My friend was truly a groupie. She's married now and a faithful Jehovah's Witness and an author. She also met Mary J and was put forth to Mary to be her stylist, but Mary chose someone else. This was after Mary stopped working with Misa as her stylist. My girl is fly though... still. RIP Eddie and Shawn.
The best comment in this section 😊😊
You got the tea, honey☕️ I feel like I need the whole series 😂😂
@NajiLovely my friend has so many stories. She would "hold court" as we all sat around and listened to her stories. Girrrlah... it was A LOT! It could be a series or even a book, like Superhead Karrine Steffan did, but she is so far removed from that life now. She's an author, but she doesn't write about that part of her life. She is a devout Jehovah's Witness, and I am a devout Christian now. She won't write about that part of her life. But it's cool that I was pseudo part of that life through her. Nothing wrong with remembering the past. 🤷🏽♀️
Thank you for sharing...glad you got the chance to hear those stories
So you’re saying Eddie was gay🤔
I saw the Sean video when it first happened and that truly broke my heart to see him suffering and being mistreated while incarcerated. I’m retired from the jail and every inmate that comes do a intake with the nurse and then the doctor after being there a day or two. And then someone from the mental health department do an assessment with them as well. So the jail he was in definitely dropped the ball including the guards. They should’ve alerted someone from the mental health department as soon as he started acting strange…smh. May Sean and Gerald continue to Rest In Peace 🙏🏾
The way him died was sad but the wy Sean died is so heart breaking. I'm glad it wasn't in vain & that their Legacies live on especially Sean's deat creating Sean's law in Ohio R.I.P 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽💕💕💕
Yes Huneee!. This was very good!.. Hearing their stories, brought back, memories of their extremely untimely passing. My Heart still hurts for Eddie, Its very difficult to see your child in a casket, and hes experienced this twice!. Rest Peacefully Guys. 🕊🌹🕊
Gerald was doing thee MOST
Okay Ashley is spoiling us and I’m here for it!
Thank you, cuzzin Ashley!! ❤
I love when Ashley bust out singing😂😂 Another awesome story time💕💐💕💐💕
Whatttttt?????? You didn't know Keith and Johnnie...Now I know that you are young...😂😮
Ashley don't be afraid to spill Tea on so-called church folks, because, no one is sinless. We love hearing all Tea. And, thanks for this one.
Not Kym Whitley getting at Khandi Alexander like that over Gerald tho 😂🤣😭
Gerald was my celebrity crush and still is.
I’m mad at the negligence of that staff, anybody in healthcare would know that he was in withdrawal, how incredibly negligent. I’m glad the family sued.
Just an added note from a Clevelander. Per investigation, Sean never had a legal prescription for the pills, and none of his healthcare providers would verify or write a prescription for the Cuyahoga County jail. The county settled with the family because they did not have Sean evaluated after he presented to the jail with the baggie full of pills. The jail still doesn't give prescription drugs to inmates without a verified prescription.
Yaaas I just finished the Judy garland video.😊❤😊
Ok y’all got me wanting to go watch the Judy Garland one now. 😳😳😳
She had quite a mess of a life.
So glad I got to watch it before it’s taken down 😎
Gerald was a CASANOVA , hunni❤😂💯👏🏾
Ikr! He lied on that song 😂
@@heathers432 RIGHT 😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Me, my sister and mom were vacationing in Hawaii when I was about 13 and we ran into Gerald on the beach. He was such a nice person and even made a small shout out video for my GMA. He definitely was a teddy bear and good looking man.
YESSSS I WOULDNT MIND IF ASHLEY UPLOADED EVERYDAY!!!!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️
This was soo good Ashley ❤ and watching Gerald roll around on that stage 😂 it had to be some kind of tribute to Ms.Patti! It tickled me! The ending was soo sad 😞
This is terrible 😭😭😭. Especially knowing this could be prevented on both accounts. I'm going to go cry now! 😭😭😭😭 Gerald was my bae and this hurts even more!
And thanks for the trigger warning for the other video. I refuse to watch. It's too much 😢😢😢
I'm a man and I'm straight and probably outcried you 😢😅😊
Lord, benzo withdrawal can be fatal, people can have seizures. You can't stop Xanax cold turkey. Yeah I know the Leverts got a big settlement that's all kinds of malfeasance. Also, the RN left a restrained patient unsupervised, good Lord this is so sad.
Yeah, I saw that clip and she meant business 😂
I’m watching now before it disappears 😌
👏👏 SILENCE!!! Ashley is on the mic....
Two tales back-to-back! What a blessing... maybe I should go buy a lottery ticket today! After Ashley of course.....
Pause….fast forward to this year when Kim Whitley called herself trying to make fun of Monique, I wonder is she still sore about that whole situation!? It makes you wonder
oh really..what did she say bc i missed that tea!

Gerald use to frequent the restaurant I worked at. He always ordered a 5 piece whiting dinner. He did seem rather lonely and depressed.
I LOVED THE OJAYS AND I LOVED Gerald n Shawn plus Mark Gordon
Didn't Levert produce Troops attitude album and the Rude Boys???
And mamacitá on the first Troop album, and games by chuckii booker
He also did Whatever it takes for Anita Baker on Compositions. He had a girl group too and Men at Large.
Thanks @AshleySaysSo. I waited patiently for the Gerald Levert story. When it was announced that he died, I was driving home from work and had to pull over because the tears started flowing. I think because of the untimeliness of his death, I got really sad. Thanks for this story.
Fun fact: my children father robbed Sean Leverts house and was sent to Glen Mills in the very early 90’s. Guess what he never committed another crime again.
Are you from Pennsylvania? he must've been young if he was sent to Glen Mills.
@@MauvaisetBourgeoise I’m from Philly, however Glen Mills at that time took kids from all around and my children father was from Cleveland/Canton Ohio. Where Sean lived. I thought he was lying until his dad got upset with him and spoke on it.
Too many misuse the term "fun fact." 😶
Girl WHAT?
Why is this a "fun fact". Your father broke into someone's home, a place where we should all feel safe. Not only that, he stole the man's property. Girl bye!!
Me and Marc Gordan went to school together...we were marching band...he played trumpet...NOBODY knew he could sing. He was EXTREMELY QUITE!!..You couldnt stick him with a pin and make him say OUCH...LOL...funny...like Gerald song says...They had Geralds funeral downtown and it was a CRAZY!!..it was open to the public we stood outstide for HOURS...it was a like a who's who of entertainers...EVERYONE that was free that day (entertainers wise ) showed up....I think it lasted about 4-5 hours...it was CRZY..I remeber the actor who played "Pinky: in Next Friday Clifton Powell taking it really hard...he had a heartfelt speech about his estrangement from his own son at that time...I also remember ..every food vendor IN CLEVELAND was downtown making money...They were regular guys here. You would see them just round and about everywhere. Gerald was the one who encouraged Kym whitley...he was the one who told her she looked like Jackee Harry from 227 and she should go out to hollywood she was funny and talented. She went to school not far from me Shaker Hts. It was as a stonethrow away from my high school. As a matter of fact our schools were rivalries...LOL .LAST UPDATE...The original funeral/memorial was supposed to be at the same church that the two black pastors who back TRUMP here in Cleveland. That infamous Darryl C Scott and His wife...(two criminals ex pimp, drugs, skipped out on their mansion rent and got sued..another story) up in Cleveland Hts BUT Gerald's family or mother is a DEVOUT jehovah's witness and FORBID it to be held inside a church. Its a mega church. So they had it downtown at the convention center.
BACK 2 BACK!!!!!
LETS GO ASHLEY!!!!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉
Wheeewwww chile.... Kim Whitley is too funny!
I remember when they both passed, so sad. I just know their parents was going thru it 💔
Really needed this right now, at this exact moment
I was 7 when Casanova came out and that was my JAM!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lordt I didn't know they had Darius playing Gerald and Ya Ya as Mickey. Let me find this movie!
That bull Gerald was knocking all the baddies down back in the day all them called him a big teddy bear all the ladies wanted to marry Gerald 💙💙
“I’m Still” was a classic 🎼🎶🎵♥️. Rest peacefully Gerald & Sean 🙏🏼🌹🕊️♥️
My family and I had an opportunity to meet LeVert back around '87 when my father worked for Miller Brewing company. They use to throw concerts thru their Miller Sound express company. We met alot of celebs back then: Roger and Zapp, Shirley Murdock, Isley brothers,etc. Man those were the days!
Im shocked to hear that gerald never won a Grammy because his music was on point.
Its sad how he left this Earth. And IDK why Kym whitley was going hard like that and he wasnt going hard like that for her 🤦🏾♀️
I feel that the correction's department was responsible for the failure to take care of Sean. They dont care about anyone in prison. Anyway Ashley another good video!
Miki Howard and Gerald Levert remain connection through the years. It was Gerald who told her to get clean when she was drugs. Kandi Burruss also remains close to Gerald's family.
Gerald put pressure on women to be like his mother but wants to be mad at his father for cheating on his mother and eventually leaving her for another woman. He treated women the same way his father treated his mother. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
Kym Whitley was engaged four times and admitted that it was her why none of her engagements turned into marriage. She had a fear of marriage. On her reality show Raising Whitley, she referred to herself as a "runaway fiance." She said on her Uncensored episode that she would have married Gerald simply because he was her best friend.
Gerald regretted not keeping "Practice What You Preach" for himself.
ASHLEY SHOWING OUT NOW!!!!! GO HEAD NIE!🥰🥰🥰
Both of them boys lived hard
I met the Leverts when I was little and their family are some the sweetest people that I have met!
Jesus- she lost both of her children🥲Gerald’s voice was pure seductive silk…RIP🙏🏾
It's obvious their parents divorce and father's remarriage affected them. At least Gerald was honest with himself and others. He knew he could not be faithful and didn't marry.
Thank you Ashley this was great! I remember well both these days the brothers left here. Very sad. Such talent gone. If it weren't so tragic you could almost call it a comedy of errors.😢😢😢😢😢
The Kim Whitley clip was hilarious 😅😅😅😂
