DUNN PEARSON ON EDDIE LEVERT SR. (O'JAYS) ROCK N ROLL HALL OF FAMER
November 15, 2018
EDDIE LEVERT SR.- GREATEST OF ALL TIME VOCALIST.
In preparation for The Black Beethoven Project study shows that Mr. Edward “Eddie” Levert (O’JAYS) is the greatest baritone vocalist ever in his era, field and genre. Notwithstanding my obvious bias, Mr. Levert scored high in range, tone resonance, trajectory and rhythmic accuracy. As evidenced by the example (If I Find Love Again) at @4:21 Mr.Levert executes a flawless note (B4) which citing Yale University Library (Vocal Ranges) is an astonishing 3 1/2 full steps above the average baritone range. Coupled with the fact that this note is considered “money notes”, Mr. Levert has made a career of pleasing audiences with his spectacular range and consistent power of execution.
BOTTOM LINE: Eddie Levert Sr. can hit those Smokey Robinson notes with the power of the traditional gospel church resonance of James Cleveland.
