Eddie Levert

R&B songbirds Chrisette Michele and Lalah Hathaway along with veteran crooners Eddie Levert and K-C (of Jodeci) rocked the first-ever Soul Cypher at the 2015 Soul Train Awards, which aired Sunday (Nov. 29) on BET.

There are just some R&B acts that are never going to stop being a point of reference, especially those '60s and '70s singers: Otis Redding, Sam Cooke, Gladys Knight and the Pips, to name a few. The O'Jays are certainly one of them. Eddie Levert, a member of the O'Jays, turns 73 years old today (June 16).
