The book includes moving tributes from Eddie, Patti LaBelle, Steve Harvey and others, as well as treasured family photographs. Review:“Eddie Levert is one of the great figures in American popular music and Gerald Levert is the greatest soul singer of his generation. Both exemplify the height of grace dignity and integrity as self-respecting black men. I GOT YOUR BACK is their powerful and poignant gift to us – a life enhancing message we so badly need in these difficult days! I thank Lyah Beth LeFlore for her help in laying bear the wisdom of these two geniuses!” Dr. Cornel West, New York Times bestselling author of Democracy Matters and University Professor of Religion, Princeton University Review:“As a member of the legendary singing group, The O’Jays, Eddie Levert’s brand of silky soul is the reason some of us are here. Gerald Levert has continued to keep the baby-making songs alive. With I Got Your Back, these talented men show us another side; the beautiful bond between father and son.”Mo’nique, actress, comedienne and New York Times Bestselling author of Skinny Women are Evil Review:“I got my start in R&B music with Gamble and Huff's O’Jays so Eddie Levert will always be important to me.
