"He was upset a few things that had went down with one of our relatives, so he was ranting. About three days before he passed, he was complaining about he was wheezing, and he went to the doctor, and the doctor they took blood and they said (he was) fine, they sent him home, and he was at home and he had called me and we had talked on the phone. While we were in South Africa he had gotten bitten by something on his back and while we were there we had gone to the hospital to get it checked out and to see if it was anything there. So we were working on that, we were working on a new father and son album he was constantly in the studio.
Me and him had been working on this album for the last eight years. We were getting home, he was trying to make sure he put the finishing touches on this album and also we were working on a new album I was doing. It was a great trip for both of us, which was really the last time he was on stage.
"We had just came back from doing three dates in South Africa. In an interview with The Associated Press, through laughter and tears, Eddie Levert talked about losing his son - and friend. "In My Songs," was released this week, and it's a collection of ballads that Gerald Levert was working on at the time of his death. Levert's dedication to his son, however, remains, and he's working now to make sure Gerald's final project is heard. More best buddies than father and son, the duo recorded an album together, toured together and even wrote a book together, due out later this year. Levert's death not only silenced one of soul music's richest voices, it also ended the powerful relationship the younger Levert shared with his father. A recent autopsy found the fiery singer, best known for passionate love songs, died accidentally from a lethal mixture of over-the-counter medication and prescription drugs. It's been three months since Gerald Levert, just 40 years old, was found dead at his Cleveland home. But the tears still flow, and the pain still remains. NEW YORK - Eddie Levert no longer breaks into uncontrollable tears over the loss of his son, R&B crooner Gerald Levert.
