From USA Today 11/13/06:\n\nGerald Levert: Gruff-voiced, ever smooth\n\nSection: Life, Pg. 03d\n\nGerald Levert, the gruff-voiced everyman and second-generation R&B star who died Friday of a heart attack at age 40, was one of the genre's most consistent singer/songwriters of the past 20 years.\n\nHe arrived during the New Jack Swing era of the mid-1980s as part of the group LeVert (a trio with his brother Sean and Marc Gordon) and scored a string of hits, including (Pop, Pop, Pop, Pop) Goes My Mind, Casanova and Just Coolin'. Gerald went solo in 1991 with the No. 1 R&B album Private Line, though he continued to contribute to the trio's albums.\n\nStylistically, he struck a balance between the smoothness of Luther Vandross and the raw sexuality of R. Kelly.\n\nOver the years, R&B incorporated more of hip-hop's thug-love sensibilities, but Levert remained true to vintage traditions, delivering powerful ballads with working-class aspirations similar to those expressed by his legendary father, The O'Jays' Eddie Levert.\n\nIn 1995, they recorded the album Father and Son.\n\nHere are five especially memorable Gerald Levert songs worth downloading:\n\n*School Me\n\n*Baby Hold on to Me\n\n(with Eddie Levert)\n\n*Already Missing You\n\n(with Eddie Levert)\n\n*Mr. Too Damn Good\n\n*A Rose by Any Other Name (with Teena Marie)

Nope he died some years ago..  \nI keep thids article..it's worth the read...\n\nThe other side we seldom hear about:\nArticle is several years old...\nCaptain Kangaroo turned 75 recently, which is odd, because he's never looked a day under 75. (Birthday 6/27/27)\n\nIt reminded me of the following story: (Hope you enjoy it as much as I did.)\n\nSome people have been a bit offended that Lee Marvin is buried in a grave alongside 3-and 4-star generals at Arlington National Cemetery. His marker gives his name, rank (PVT) and service (USMC). Nothing else.\n\nHere's a guy who was only a famous movie star who served his time, why the heck does he rate burial with these guys?Well, following is the amazing answer:\n\nI always liked Lee Marvin, but did not know the extent of his Corps experiences. In a time when many Hollywood stars served their country in the armed forces, often in rear-echelon posts where they were carefully protected, only to be trotted out to perform for the cameras in war bond promotions, Lee Marvin was a genuine hero. He won the Navy Cross at Iwo Jima. There is only one higher Naval award... the Medal Of Honor. If that is a surprising comment on the true character of the man, he credits his sergeant with an even greater show of bravery.\n\nDialog From The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson: His guest was Lee Marvin. \n\nJohnny said, "Lee, I'll bet a lot of people are unaware that you were a Marine in the initial landing at Iwo Jima... and that during the course of that action you earned the Navy Cross and were severely wounded."\n\n"Yeah, yeah... I got shot square in the ass and they gave me the Cross for securing a hot spot about halfway up Suribachi...bad thing about getting shot up on a mountain is guys gettin' shot hauling you down. But Johnny, at Iwo I served under the bravest man I ever knew... We both got the Cross the same day, but what he did for his Cross made mine look cheap in comparison.\n\nThe dumb bastard actually stood up on Red Beach and directed his troops to move forward and get the hell off the beach. That Sergeant and I have been lifelong friends. When they brought me off Suribachi, we passed the Sergeant and he lit a smoke and passed it to me lying on my belly on the litter and said, 'Where'd they get you Lee?' Well, Bob ... if you make it home before me, tell Mom to sell the outhouse! \n\nJohnny, I'm not lying...Sergeant Keeshan was the bravest man I ever knew..... Bob Keeshan... \n\nYou and the world know him as Captain Kangaroo."

Actor Palance and singer Levert have both passed away.\n\nYou need to use the past tense of "pass" to make the sentence correct.
