I was on my way to work at the nursing home where I was a social worker when KPRS 103.3 Historically owned Black radio station announced Gerald LaVert died. There was no time to process it. The tears just rolled down my face. I's the youngest of 4. and played music all the time at home. My sister especially loved the Mighty O'Jays. And Gerald had that robust Man voice just like his Dad. And his songs often gave us a glimpse at his sincere vulnerability.
It's 2024 still listening to it reminds me of my sister who is deceased now she use to jam this song all day and every day when I was about 9 years old now I'm jamming it in 2024 rest in peace my family and the Levert brothers 😢😢❤❤❤
My mom got her wish. She loved Gerald Levert so much. She finally got to hug her teddy bear December 4th 2017. May him and my mom rest in eternal and godly peace ❤️
😂😂 It's simple, Just like with everything else when something reaches it's peak only way is down 90s is the best the bar was set to high and nothing can compete
Thank you! Someone on here said it was the father that died to I but Eddie, much alive. It’s got be heart breaking 💔 when you loss a son but lose both is even more heartbreaking and tragic.😢😔😞
Sometimes when I listen to this track I think of my heavenly Father telling me ''Keren hold on to me,you see I'm a special kind'' I love you Lamb of Glory thank you Jesus
Them 8,000 dislikes is so disrespectful. I'm only 33 and know good music when hear it. Them dislikes must be single people in they feelings. Listen to the message in the song.
they weren't singing...they were having fun bonding like father and son. this was just a simple day hanging out for them. All the good ones go too soon. (tear...sniffle...) RIP Gerald, thank you for all those years of great music.
@@Binge_Movies Did u know that N the beginning when they 1st started 2 make appearances 💁🏼♀️ he was against Gerald performing. I NEVER did find out y 🤷🏼♀️. But, he eventually came around & supported them N EVERYTHING that they wanted 2 do. When they would sing, "The Wind Beneath my Wing's" . Eddie would b almost N tears 🥲. But.... they were happy tears. He was sooooo proud 2 b his son's idol. I believe that the over exerted himself on stage bcuz he DEFINITELY gave u your 💵 💵 💵's worth 🗣️🎙️ & then some 💯... And a lotta times they DON'T go 2 the doctor like they REALLY should bcuz they DON'T feel BAAAD! THAT blood pressure & diabetes is at the top of the line of silent killer's among African American Men! Bcuz that was REALLY a shock ⚡
I am using it as a pleasant for a Friend of mine, to wake up and see what is real in her life. Wake up V.and don't lose the best thing you have ever had in the last 30 years.
Miss Gerald. Hurts my heart. His father still being here and him gone just makes it so much worst. They have a beautiful bond. I know he misses his son greatly.
what a beautiful Bond between father and son,I get so emotional when I see this video and all the one's with father and son,my heart hurts when I realize that Gerald is gone,I will keep him alive in my heart forever. and listen to him indefinitely!!!
Love this song so happy they made it together. They sound identical in singing. So much power and Gearld was a copy and paste of his dad just taller and a little lighter.
I can tell their father and son bond was very tight. I can’t imagine the pain Eddie went through when Gerald died and then his other son Sean died over a year later. R.I.P. Gerald and Sean Levert 🙏🏾
Song makes you think. When you watch both of them sing this song, its ANGELIC. They both went all in.... That's what we as man and woman must do..... Don't throw it in the others face but point it out. Let the other know you are special and they are. I can say if my wife ever left me I would be half a man she brings my worth out.
it"s great to see dad and son together it hard to tell their voice apart if you're not looking i do know this as long as the world got Gerald music he still live in it
This is one of the best songs. There are people who survived worst things than bitter, angry, and sociopathic encounters. Look up, and know better is on the other side, but you must survive .
THIS WAS OUR SONG WE ALWAYS SING TO EACH OTHER 😢🤎🥰👼🏾🕊️I really really miss my mother she was best mother any girl could ask for, the things that we did or ever talk about ughhh she was my everything I miss you mother TINA 💔👼🏾🕊️
Who's cutting onions... I wish I had a relationship with my father like this when he was still alive... Its heartbreaking to know Eddie outlived his offspring
This is our song babe! I miss you with my whole heart and soul. Rest well my Love! Cornelius Louis Brown Rise:7/13/74- Rest 11/12/22😢😢😢(on my mamas bday)
I love this song my grandfather sings this to my grandma. He would sing many songs that touched her heart. But he knew she loved this song the most. R.I.P. Gerald Levert. This is real music, the music that you can actually understand. Not the music that refers to women as downgrading names. I love this kind of music that refers to women as men's everything and their love.
The video is beautiful. They seem like they really enjoyed each other's company. I love how Eddie allowed his son to shine even though he was the bigger star. It's very clear this is Gerald's song and he is only featuring.
Raeshelle Cooke hell nawww. You missed the whole point. Your suppose to hold on to him. When u can stop being so selfish maybe youll find someone to make u feel special.
This is a timeless classic. It brings me back to a time, when there, where artists, who could effortlessly, convey, the raw, as well as intense passion, of love, through their lyrics! Thank goodness that we still have these timeless classics too treasure, for generations too come!
REAL STRONG FEELINGS and TRUE MUSIC!!! TELLS A STORY WITH PASSION!!! FATHER AND SON SPEAKING ON LOVE AND HOW A REAL MAN IS SUPPOSED TO TALK TO HIS WOMAN AND SHE KNOWS HIS TRUE FEELINGS IN THEIR RELATIONSHIP!!!

A father should never have to bury his son. Much less, 2 sons in back to back years.
sometimes god has a different plan.He dont make mistakes
I lost my sister in 2008 before I was born. My dad has been broken since.

It's crazy to think that not only two talented musicians came from the LeVert family but an NBA player in Caris.
This song is sooooo bomb!! A classic hit! Will never lose its appeal !! 🥳🥳🥳
