Welcome back to Doby Uncut. I'm your host, Dr. Jerry Doby, and this episode is one you won't hear anywhere else. We captured an exclusive moment with R&B royalty, Eddie Levert Sr., as he personally co-signed a young crooner, carrying forward the soul tradition.
That artist is Omar Wilson — and the moment was decisive. Omar delivered a heartfelt new rendition of Gerald Levert's classic Baby I'm Ready, and Eddie not only praised it, he saluted it as a moving, posthumous tribute to his son. It was more than a co-sign — it was a passing of the torch, a moment of respect, legacy, and connection between generations.
In this conversation, Eddie reflects on what makes music timeless, why subtlety and emotion matter more than ever, and how artists like Omar can keep soul alive for the future. Omar shares his journey, his passion, and what this blessing from Eddie means to him personally and professionally.
This is a rare, candid, and emotional exchange — a conversation about family, legacy, and the enduring power of R&B. Let's get into it.
