Gerald Levert's emotive baritone excels on
Groove On. The
Levert feel is evident on every side. Productions, arrangements and songs are by
Gerald Levert and Edwin Nicholas, save for a couple, the most notable being "I'd Give Anything" by
David Foster. "Answering Service" stands out with its opening monologue; "Have Mercy" illustrates Gerald's powerful begging style of delivery to perfection. A more even collection than his debut,
Private Line. ~ Andrew Hamilton
