 | Imagine your standing on a record fair or in a record shop and you want to buy that album or maxi but you have the doubts, is it the one i've seen? Do I have it already? Is it the right label? From which year is it? The seller doesn't know which album you mean! From now on you can reach your favorite soul and funk music site everywhere on your PDA, MDA or PocketPC.

 | Levi Stubbs, the legendary lead singer of the Four Tops, and one of the greatest soul vocalists of all time, has died in Detroit after a long illness. Stubbs' death leaves only one remaining Tops founding member, Abdul "Duke" Fakir. As the distinctive lead of the Four Tops, Stubbs was best known for his deep, passionate vocal style that turned Holland-Dozier-Holland compositions like "Bernadette" and "Reach Out" and later, upon the group's move from Motown to ABC Records, on adult soul songs such as "Ain't No Woman (Like the One I Got)" and "Keeper of the Castle." |
I introduced a new structure for listing the albums and 12inches. You can now better view per period which albums an artist has recorded. Period 1980-1989 is the default, because these years are Black Music DB speciality. If you want see the albums/12inches of an other period you can click the appropriate years. The default album sorting order is by year (descending).

Gerald Levert, the son of O' Jays Eddie Levert, is no longer here. He passed away on 10th of november at age of 40 due to a heart attack. Gerald started with the group Levert back in 1985 where he recorded the album 'I Get Hot' and followed by Bloodline in 1986. Levert consist of the trio Gerald Levert, brother Sean Levert and Marc Gordon. The Big Throwdown, and Just Coolin', released in 1987 and 1988, respectively, both received gold certification. Beginning in the 1990s, Gerald began dividing his time between LeVert, and his solo career, but the band released three more albums. During his solo career Gerald recorded nine albums, such as Private Line, Groove on, Father & Son with his father Eddie, Gerald's World and Gerald's last album Do I Speak For The World. Gerald also participated in LSG the project with Johnny Gill and Keith Sweat in 1997 and 2003. He also produced several tracks for artists like Miki Howard, James Ingram, Geoff McBride, Keith Washington and others. In the eighties and ninetees he was, for me, one of the biggest musical creaters and inspirators.
My heart and Condolences go out to the Levert Family. Rest In Peace Gerald. Mark @ SoulAndFunkMusic.com |
