Description
Welcome to another edition of SCFB I am your Host Tom Gouker and tonight we are premiering the first episode of six called the R&B Teddy Bears. The Teddy Bears are amazing and talented soul singers who connect emotional to woman, but the guys like them also. I interviewed musicians for the last year to get there opinions about these guys, it is funny how I can hear there passion for these artists, but time has passed and hear the musicians struggles for names dates, and times...including me. But one thing they can remember is that these artists are special and one of a kind.
The R&B Teddy Bears are Gerald Levert, Marvin Gaye, Isaac Hayes, Barry White, Teddy Pendergrass, and Luther Vandross. During our conversations other names popped up, Will Downing, Peabo Bryson, and Kevin Mahogany, Gregory Porter, Solomon Burke, and Nat King Cole were mentioned, but we all agree that the six teddy bears of R&B are royalty.
Tonight our musicians are talking about Gerald Levert. Gerald Levert performed with his family group called, LEVERT and had tons of hits, leaders of the new jack swing, the group split and Gerald went on to a super successful R&B career. His life was cut short at the age of 40, and we have a legacy of great music to remember him by.
Listen to the following artists chat about Gerald Levert. Blues Singer Kelly Bell from the Kelly Bell Band, Jazz Vocalist Ed Turner, Genre Busting Singer Songwriter Darnell Miller, Blues Singer and Musician Vanessa Collier, Jazz Pianist Layfette Gilchrist and the Funk-master Duke Benjamin.
