Levert's solo debut proves that great singing is definitely in his "bloodline." "School Me" and "Just A Little Something", are classic tracks. "Baby Hold On To Me", Levert's duet with his famous father Eddie Levert, is priceless. Premier artist of the decade.

I just recently moved. While unpacking I noticed my Gerald Levert Private Line cassette tape. I tried to play it and guess what happened...the tape recorder at my tape. I just received my CD two days ago from Amazon and realize why I purchased the CD in the first place. I absolutely love it. This will be one of my CD's I will not lend out to anyone! I love it that much. Gerald's silky voice can not be duplicated. I wish they still made music like this.

I'm Back!

This sensual & romantic set of songs are smooth and warm. His voice is flawless. It is pefect for lovers or the the lover in you. "Private Line" really hits the spot.

I love Gerald Levert. Because, he's a good singer, and he's made wonderful music over the years. Starting with the group Levert, and then on his own. Now that he's gone, I appreciate his music even more. And, I thank my mom, and dad who's a big fan of the Levert family for turning me on to him. My mom had the CD but it got lost. So, I'm greatful that I bought this album.

Gerald Levert delivering some of his most honest and emotive vocals... Hit number one on the R&B charts with the single, "Baby Hold On to Me"....Nonetheless, that single set up a deal with Atlantic Records the following year, and it could not have been a better move... Initially, Gerald recording, scoring five number one singles, seven Top Ten singles...
Gerald Levert joined forces with R&B vocalists Keith Sweat and Johnny Gill under the acronym LSG, spawning the hit single "My Body."...
Gerald wrote and produced songs for other artists such as, Barry White, Stephanie Mills, Teddy Pendergrass, James Ingram, The Winans and The O'Jays... Upto date G Levert has Ten album... A must collect albums.... Rest In Peace.... Your Music will live on 4u....

If you love Gerald like I love Gerald, then you'll really enjoy this oldie but goodie :o) :p)!!!

This album is what got me into Gerald, from then on I became a fan of Gerald's. This album has all great tracks, I listen to the whole album and I purchased it when it was on cassette and I still listen to it today. "Shooting the Breeze, and "Can you handle it" was two of my favorites, along with "hugs and kisses" and "Just because I'm wrong" is just the bomb!!! I loved every track as well as the musician and I will always love Gerald and miss him from the bottom of my heart.

Already liked this artist/album. Just finally getting around to replacing some old cassettes with cd's. Gerald Levert is awesome!

The debut solo release from the Ohio native, Private Line features a nice mixture of songs and spawned four chart singles. The vocal energy Gerald LeVert brings to his songs is revealed in each lyric. The first release was "Private Line." With a locomotive rhythm track and a churnin' horn arrangement, "Private Line" is complemented with a catchy hook. It became a favorite among many, claiming the number one spot on the Billboard R&B charts. The second release was the pop-oriented single "Baby Hold on to Me." This duet, with his father Eddie LeVert, Sr., is a splendidly arranged ballad in which father and son immerse themselves in the lyrics. Like its predecessor, it claimed the number one spot and number 37 on the R&B and pop charts, respectively. The third single was "School Me." With its teacher-student lyrics, the gifted vocalist stays near the top of the charts with this single as well; it peaked at number three after 19 weeks. LeVert's knack for laying down lead and background vocals is demonstrated on this number. As explosive as his baritone is, he is able to inject a smoothness to his delivery; this trait is admirable. The fourth single, "Can You Handle It," has LeVert combining wholesome vocals with contemporary rhythms. It too seized a Top Ten spot at number nine. Every track on this album is as appealing as the next, finding LeVert's vocals are in superb form.

The VERY BEST CD by Gerald. Such a lost, he was a very gifted and sweet teddy bear..... I can understand the lost felt by his Dad, Brother and family/friends.


I Just can't wait for GREATEST HITS CD!!! and the the CD Eddie said he and Gerald had already worked on as the next Father/Son CD.
