Speaking with Cheryl Jackson, Levert kept it simple when asked what still excites him about performing after decades in the industry. For him, it all comes down to one thing: the love of singing.
“I still like to sing,” he shared. “It’s the only thing I really know how to do. I love being in front of a crowd and seeing their reaction when I open my mouth.”
That connection with audiences has been a constant throughout his career. Known for his powerful voice and emotional delivery, Levert has built a legacy that extends beyond music, influencing not only fans but also his own family. He proudly acknowledged passing that passion down to his children, continuing a musical lineage that spans generations.
