Description
SoulMusic Records is very proud to present “Family Reunion,” a first-of-its kind anthology with eight tracks by the trio, brothers Gerald and Sean Levert and longtime friend Marc Gordon; sixteen solo cuts by Gerald; Sean’s solo hit single; and a number of duets including recordings between Gerald and soul songstress Miki Howard, tracks with his father Eddie (of The O’Jays) and with brother Sean; and one track featuring all three members of one of soul music’s first families. •The trio LeVert was formed in the mid-‘80s and after one album with an independent label, the team signed with Atlantic Records and began a five-year run of US R&B hits which included six charttoppers including 1987’s ‘Casanova’, which became LeVert’s biggest mainstream single and is featured here in a rare dance mix. Other key LeVert hits on this 32-track 2-CD set (compiled and remastered by Donald Cleveland) include ‘(Pop, Pop, Pop, Pop) Goes My Mind’, ‘Addicted To You’ (from the Eddie Murphy film Coming To America) and ‘Just Coolin’’ (featuring rap pioneer Heavy D). •Gerald Levert’s first success as a solo artist came with his soulful 1987 duet with Miki Howard, ‘That’s What Love Is’ (included here in a nearly seven-minute-long extended version); in 1991, the singer/songwriter came with ‘Private Line’, the first of twelve R&B charted singles on this anthology.
