Yahoo LAUNCHCAST song of the day


Artist:Gerald Levert w/Eddie Levert Sr.

Song:Baby Hold On To Me

Album:Private Line





R & B singer Gerald Levert had some pretty big shoes to fill growing up in Cleveland. His father is Eddie Levert Sr. of the O'Jays, a living legend of R & B. Gerald started out recording with his brother Sean Levert & Marc Gordon as Levert. After some success, Gerald recorded his first solo album Private Line in 1991. He continued to work closely with Gordon along with another writer producer Edwin Nicholas. Baby Hold On To Me is a great duet with Gerald and his dad. Gerald wrote and produced it with Nicholas and it was a #1 R & B hit. Gerald & Eddie would go on to record the album Father & Son in 1995. Gerald Levert continued to have great success through the 90s not only as a solo performer but as part of the group Levert, Sweat & Gill. He also produced acts such as The Winans & Patti Labelle. Suddenly Gerald Levert died of a heart attack on Nov. 10, 2006 at age 40. It's a great loss as there's no doubt at he would have produced a lot more great music. But he made his daddy proud with what he did accomplish. Here's a video of Gerald & Eddie Levert singing Baby Hold On To Me.




I started a blog yesterday for the co-op. It's called the Robert Cooke Co-op Community Blog. I'm still working on it but feel free to check it out. I have added it to the links and have also added a few other links like the video sites Veoh, Viddler & Daily Motion. I found Viddler at the Webware news blog so I have added that site too. It's very useful.
