Eddie LeVert

Eddie Levert sang lead on classic million-selling hits by Philly soul group The O'jays. They were a part of the artist roster of Kenneth Gamble and Leon Huff's Philadelphia International Records. Levert could handle both emotion-soaked ballads, sweat-inducing dance numbers, and thought-provoking message songs with equal aplomb. The singer also co-wrote songs for The O'jays and others: the heart-achingly poignant radio-aired LP track "Help (Somebody Please)" from their platinum LP So Full of Love; "Don't Walk Away Mad" and "Out in the Real World" from from My Favorite Person; "Just Another Lonely Night," a 1985 hit from Love Fever; "I Like to See Us Get Down" and "Keep on Loving Me" from Emotionally Yours; "Lies"; "Lonely Drifter"; "My Love Don't Come Easy," a hit for PIR labelmate Jean Carn; and "Wind Beneath My Wings," a duet between Eddie Levert and his son, Gerald Levert, on the 1995 CD Father and Son.
