[TamedLupine]

Twenty five years ago my hubby took me to my first concert I was full 8 month pregnant and Gerald came off the stage grabbed my hand singing a few line from pop pop pop goes my mind I was floored and emotional kinda like that scene from the five heart beats it was awesome. every chance my hubby got after he took me to a Levert concert at last one we was honored with the appears of Eddie Levert WOW son and Father grooving on stage..I was blessed to see that.

[omoniyikaye]

@TamedLupine You saw one of the greatest of all time,G was ahead of his time no doubt,from a reliable source he has more than 200 unrleased songs. He was workalholic. Chreish the memories and join the fan page Gphig/Gspot on fb

Simply Nice!!!!!!!!!!!

[iluvgoodmusic75]

Teddy Bear" Gerald Levert" RIP, I mish your music and performances !!

[AquaTee07]

Gerald is my all time favorite artist. If he was on an awards show I knew he would "show out" and put on a great performance. There is such a huge void in R&B music now..It is really sad. I miss how you could put in a CD and listen to it from the start to finish. Gerald was one of those artist who would never disappoint you. He put so much heart in soul into his music..and he will forever be missed. ~This song is dedicated to my husband who is truly the best~

[kallnota]

he is my favorite person and he will be in my my heart forever and always <3 we all miss him very much this is my favorite song by him and tamia

[steelcross101]

[33urbina]

this song is beautiful and oh so powerful; you are trully missed, but a true star you are in heaven!

[ashcynzo]

i would play this song in the shower and put on repeat until the water got cold love just singing my head of and thinking about live and every thing

[kycummings19799]

[bmccog]

how did he die?

[buttlikewat]

I believe a heart attack.

[ladylisa69]

Whatever he sang made you feel so good. He is really missed but, he is singing in heaven with god and angels because he's one of the angels now. R.I.P. gone but not forgotten

[bigdickbam]

Yes this song is a classic. I was in the choir in high school. This was originally recorded by the Carpenters. Although they were white it was a great song even sang by them.

[Aproxy2]

a great singer. it is sad that he is not around with us anymore.

[jakahlasmom07]

I love this song I you use to listen to it all to the time and I had to find out it was a remake. Thanks for the post

[jigglegirl60]

this is real talent right here. go tamia. rest in peace gerald levert. you will be truely missed.

[providencelady]

This is so beautiful!

[pumkin1785]

When I hear his music it reminds me that no one is promised a tomorrrow. We say what a waste of talent and in our small minds thats how we see it, however the Master has the greater plan. What a legacy, he is missed. R.I.P. BIGMAN

[1123michelle]

pumkin1785 thank,s for the beautiful comment you sound like a very spiritual person god know's our ending ,s before our begining check out our musician Mr. Darrius Brooks your will video god bless

[pumkin1785]

You are so very welcome! Yes I am very spiritual however, I don't practice religion. This is a prime example of how the Almighty works. If you can feel someones spirituality through the written word just think of the ease in which God can see what's in a persons heart. Your suggestion of Darius Brooks came just as I was sitting and pondering a situation and preparing to log off. Your message and the video came right on time. In Gods time not mine.  Thank you, thank you.

[1123michelle]

Hi pumkin 1785 I was listening to Gerald and thought of you hope you are doing well and may all your positive dreams come true.god is more than able.

[0214021412]

No One I mean....No One does it like Gerald Levert.

[pearpeas]

hmm

[YesWright]

Ohhhh ...this song is so perfect! I love it. Nowadays they dont make such songs anymore. But it also depends on who's singing it. Levert has a wonderfull voice. God will be with him in heaven and I'm sure he's now singing toghether with the angels in heaven.

[dreamgirl4224]

i miss my daddy i cry everytime i listen to him or think of him i love this song its also so beautiful but the legacy will keep going on so watch out for me and my sistre carlysia :(

[SuperCharlene2010]

@dreamgirl4224 your daddy changed my life, if i was having a bad day i would put anyone of his cds in my player and i would be fine afterwards he is truly missed keep ys head up sista hes always gonna be watching you and your sister, just talk to him always he is listenin. god bless

[POCAHANTAS23]

@dreamgirl4224 AND BECAUSE HE LEFT YOU ALL SUCH A BEAUTIFUL LEGACY...IT ONLY MEANS YOU'RE GONNA BE JUST FINE :)

GOD BLESS YOU & YOUR FAMILY

[truwinner]

@dreamgirl4224 bless your heart(s) unexpected deaths are traumatic and losing a father or mother is devastating...keep your head up young lady ..and although unfair God always has a plan ..hugs!

[KIMM777]

@dreamgirl4224 I can't wait! God and the angels are with you all! Stay faithful!

[blackmoney37]

[woodarddi]

Ditto to the poster 19721924! RIP Gerald!

Gerald was our true entertainer and I don't know if his family realizes the magnitude of how Gerald is missed by his fans. This was not an ordinary lost. This was like the lost of family member. I still can't believe Gerald is not with us any longer. RIP Gerald baby!

[billk18]
