20-year old Gerald LeVert was a vocal monster....where is the talent like this nowadays?

Dude already basically had his fathers voice at 19 years old, sounded more of grown man than anyone from today's era.



RIP to one of my personal R&B GOAT's

we lost our way with music breh. been listening to a lot of 60s/70s/80s/90s r&b lately. it's depressing how the singing talent and subject matter has fallen off.

RIP .

And RIP to the days when R&B singers could actually saaang.

 

[Let A Fro Be A Fro]

In the era of autotune/computerized voices, singing talent is obsolete. All one needs for a "singing" career is proper marketing and promotion.

 

[DaKidFromNoWhere]

Men dont love women like our ancestors did.
They sung with so much soul and without it that shyt is bland.
Even with Hip Hop...

they'll NEVER allow this on TV again.

A black father, with his son singing about love and about being a father/son to one another





and a book too. Nah, we'll never get something like this again. I mean, maybe from LeBron, but they only wanna show/influence us as creating more athletes

 

[WaveGang]

Wow

[get these nets]

Super under rated singer
Baby Hold On To Me is one of my favorite songs.....

He also helped usher in the R&B/rapper collabo era with Heavy D.

There were other collabos before but that song really set it off and started people copying

Rest in Peace

when a singer starts out saying, "I'mma take my time with this", you know it's about to be a real ol school performance.

The fashion, the haircuts. We lost now, brehs

 

[Buckeye Fever]

We got Ty Dolla Sign and Jeremih. Is that not good enough?

I'm not a conspiracy theorist breh, very far from it...BUT I'm starting to believe there are ulterior motives to the type of music the labels are feeding us today. They are purposely trying to destroy black unity and love.

The day of grown black man voices being played in song on the radio is over... too much energy... too much testosterone... too much influence
