City Winery Chicago Presents The Levert Experience: A Legacy Revived live on Thursday, September 10th at 7:30 PM! Most young, burgeoning male vocalists who had a father who was a legendary member of a group so successful that the world knew that they were destined for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame w o u l d n ’ t e v e n t o u c h a microphone. When your father is a member of The O’Jays, and the dynamic soulful voice of such hits like “For The Love of Money,” “I Love Music,” “Used Ta Be My Girl” and “Stairway toHeaven,” most singers wouldn’t think they could carve out their own niche in music history. Many R&B songsmiths who did make it into the music industry, with the weight of that lineage on their shoulders, would go on to form a pioneering group with their younger brother and their good friend and songwriting buddy, with their own soul-stirring string of hits: (POP, POP, POP, POP) GOES MY MIND, BABY I’M READY, ADDICTED TO YOU and CASANOVA (all #1 songs from albums that all placed in the Top 10 on the charts with every release). Even fewer would step away from the hitmaking group to go on to have solo success, record a #1 song with their father, pair to 2 other hugely successful R&B titans (LSG) and form another group and go on to sell millions of records, while writing and recording amazing songs for and with some of the greatest talents in music history, leaving a legacy of masterful music and rousing performances long after their early and untimely death at 40 years old.
