The G Spot (CD)

As a member of the 1980s R&B vocal group LeVert, Gerald Levert quickly established himself as a passionate, world-class soul singer with a flair for slow jams and love ballads. In his solo career, from the '90s on, he expanded his role to include producer and songwriter, working with celebrated R&B stars like Teddy Pendergrass and Barry White, and with his father Eddie Levert's band, the O'Jays. He scored over 30 hit singles on the R&B and pop charts, and in the mid-'90s formed the super-group LSG with fellow singing stars Keith Sweat and Johnny Gill. Sadly, Levert died of a heart attack in 2006 at the age of 40, leaving a posthumous album, a Grammy nomination, a book (co-written with his father), and a legion of mourning friends, family, and fans.

With cover art reminiscent of the golden era of the Ohio Players, THE G SPOT displays its seductive intentions from the outset. It doesn't disappoint. Gerald Levert is a past master at constructing the kind of slinky, satin-lined grooves that have launched countless hot, sexy nights. The album's opener, "Too Much Room," with its danceable yet beguiling arrangement is a mere hint of the delights to come. "Since You Ain't Around" is classic R&B and classic Levert, but the album reveals its true intentions with "Funny," a slow, steady, hooky song in the classic slow jam tradition.

Levert's vocals, while not exactly in the Barry White mold, are reassuringly sonorous, and when the mood strikes him he can hit the high notes like a latter-day Marvin Gaye. The real high points of THE G SPOT come with "The Top of My Head" and the Roy Ayers-accompanied title track, a pair of mesmerizing, sinuous jams, the latter featuring Levert scat-singing to Ayers' vibes. If you can't score with this album, it won't be Gerald Levert's fault.
