I Got Your Back

I Got Your Back: A Father and Son Keep It Real About Love, Fatherhood, Family, and Friendship by Eddie and Gerald Levert.

Reading comments on a YouTube, O'Jays video, someone wrote, "it is good to see Eddie performing again." Wondering if Eddie had been ill, I did a web search. I saw the book: I Got Your Back, so downloaded it on my Kindle.

I thought it was going to be a memoir or biography. Perhaps I should have read the subtitle, eh? I pretty much liked reading it, but was boring at some parts. They are Jehovah's Witnesses, and claim they are devoted to their religion. They did not seem to be devoted to following the Ten Commandments. Their God is their judge, not me.

But if they had been Catholic, they would have been spending a lot of Saturday nights in the Confessional booth, to be absolved of their sins ~ wine, women, song, and drugs ~ Party Down!

I only recalled one Levert song, Casanova. I saw the O'Jays in concert. I vaguely remember Eddie mentioning his son, but not if Gerald performed on stage with the group.
