Release Notes
___________________________
In My Songs is soul man Gerald LeVert's final farewell,
a collection of vintage-sounding R&B equal to any of the
discs he put out in his 20-year career. Only, of course,
sadder.
Prior to track one, Gerald's legendary father, the O'Jay's
Eddie LeVert, reminisces momentarily about the months
leading up to this album and his son's pride in presenting
it; shards of that short speech linger through songs like
"Sweetness," in which the man who was called "Teddy Bear"
before Ruben Studdard was a twinkle in Paula Abdul's eye
promises to "be sweeter tomorrow than I was today," and
"Hang in There," a soulful plea sent out to a sulking lady
friend.
Two upbeat songs break the solemn mood midway through
"DJ Don't" molds itself to fit old-school party-night
sensibilities, and "Wanna Get up with You" whisks the ladies
off to the dancefloor but even those tracks can't help
going bittersweet around the edges.
They represent LeVert's lost magnetism, after all. And
they're reminders that the man who once promised to
"sing it to you time and time again," won't.
R.I.P. One Of The Greatest Singers Of This Generation.
