Birthplace?[edit]

This article says that he was born in Canton, while other sources list his birthplace as Philadelphia. Which is correct? Keekee 19:09, 16 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Allmusic.com lists it as Cleveland. I'd go with that, since it's a pretty reliable source, until we come up with something stronger. | Mr. Darcy talk 19:40, 16 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Cool. Keekee 21:13, 17 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

New Category[edit]

Shouldn't he be placed in the "Drug-related deaths" category?Jdot01 22:12, 28 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Article Cleanup[edit]

I citied the article and cleaned it up awhile back, but forgot to tag it as such. I think it's pretty much expanded as well, so I'm taking the template down. Pinkadelica 06:02, 17 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned references in Gerald Levert[edit]

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Gerald Levert's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
