 (3 Customer Reviews)
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. ~ Craig Lytle Gerald Levert Private Line Songs Private Line Music Review Purchase Private Line CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Gerald Levert Groove On CD (1995)

All songs co-written by Gerald Levert except "I'd Give Anything" (C. Farren/J. Steele/V. Milamed/L. Foster) and "Someone" (Greg Charley).
Gerald Levert oozes seduction from every pore of his musical body--turning clever lines, smooth silky vocals, and sickly clean beats into siren calls which seduce his soon-to-be vanquished paramours. Throughout GROOVE ON Levert exudes an abundant amount of each of those qualities, and does so with a sleek candle-light, soul-man demeanor well-suited for a singer who helped invent the very pose he's projecting.
Gerald Levert's vocal abilities were inherited from his father--O'Jay's vocalist, Eddie Levert--but his position as one of gentleman soul's elder statesman was clearly earned as a member of LeVert. That group, which also featured his brother Sean, helped sow ...

Little Brazil is headed by singer/songwriter Landon Hedges, part of the outer orbit of Saddle Creek Records artists who started his own band with 2005's You and Me, an uncomplicated catchy set of indie pop tunes not that far removed from the Minders/Apples in Stereo side of the old Elephant 6 collective. Little Brazil's second album is a darker affair, from its title and cartoon-suicide cover to the far less sweet-natured songs within. Perhaps to emphasize the fact that a formerly solo project is now more of a real band set-up, the songs are considerably longer ...
| | Ron Carter Anything Goes CD (1975) Japan
Private Line songs
$18.59
Recorded in 1975 for Creed Taylor's Kudu imprint, Ron Carter's Anything Goes is a studied and even delightful exercise in the commercial aspect of funky jazz fusion. More interested in extrapolated grooves and pretentious motherchopper riffs, Anything Goes is a borderline disc, and no, that's not a bad thing. Using CTI's masterful, wide-ranging cast of studio players (as well as guests like Phil Woods), Carter cut a record that was as easy to dance to as it was to admire for the quality of its playing and David Matthews' arrangements. The finger-popping funk chart for the title cut -- as in the tune written by Cole Porter -- must have been scandalous to jazz pursuits, but so what. It was a finger-popping delight with a great piccolo bassline and solo from Carter, a groovy backing vocal trio, and killer flute work from Hubert Laws. Carter's own fascination with Brazilian samba began about this time in earnest -- a path he has followed into the 21st century. "De Samba," with its airy guitars courtesy of Eric Gale, Laws' lyrical flute, and Randy Brecker and Alan Rubin's trumpets, is a wonderful, funky jazz extrapolation on the form and is capped by Carter's own smoking bass solo. The read of Dave Grusin's "Baretta's Theme" is pure gritty R&B magic. David Sanborn's wailing alto saxophones play counterpoint to Gale's in-the-pocket chunky chords ...
