I got your back

the long version

Eddie Levert, lead singer of the classic soul group the O'Jays, and his son, platinum recording artist Gerald Levert, realize that African American fathers and sons have gotten a bad rap for far too long, and they want to help set the record straight. Here, Eddie and Gerald put their hearts and souls on the line and talk about their failures, concerns, fears, and triumphs as father and son, and as black men. With a powerful message of reconciliation for broken families, Eddie and Gerald explore the themes of fatherhood, male bonding and male-female relationships. This book will not only empower men to renew their fractured relationships with their children and themselves, but will also provide women with a much needed look into the interior lives of men that they've rarely seen.--From publisher description.
