While LSG, the 90s group formed by Gerald Levert, Keith Sweat and Johnny Gill, didn’t perform at the Festival together, each member performed solo over the course of 10 years. In this picture taken in 2007, Eddie Levert (center) of the O’Jays stands with Sweat and Gill in memory of his son Gerald, who passed away suddenly in 2006.
