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.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
