SoulTracks Looks Back: Gerald and Eddie Levert were “Missing You”

geraldandeddielevert

Soul man Gerald Levert had an auspicious childhood as the son of R&B legend Eddie Levert, the lead singer of the O’Jays, and the choice gene pool seemed to kick in at an early age. It ultimately led to him becoming one of the most popular R&B singers in the world as well as a prodigious songwriter. Sadly, at the peak of his career in 2006, Levert’s memorable life was cut short by a fatal heart attack. Read our full Gerald Levert biography

While he had a number of great solo hits, one of our favorite albums he released was a collection of duets with his father, Eddie Levert of the O’Jays, And a highlight of that disc is “Already Missing You,” a terrific ballad on which the two blended like, well, father and son. It was two generations of greatness, teamed for a great song. Check it out again below and enjoy!
