Son of O’Jays lead vocalist Eddie Levert, Sr., R&B singer, songwriter, and producer Gerald Levert carried on the family tradition with two successful groups—Levert and LSG—and a thriving solo career.

• The group kicked off a string of four consecutive gold albums with 1987’s The Big Throwdown. The LP features “Casanova,” a No. 1 R&B hit that crossed over to No. 5 on the pop charts.
• By the time they split up in 1995, Levert had notched five No. 1 R&B hits.
