In a book he authored with his father, Eddie Levert of the O’Jay’s, titled “I Got Your Back: A Father and Son Keep It Real About Love, Fatherhood, Friendship and Family,” he spoke about how much he admired his mother and how it affected other relationships with women in his life.
“Maybe that’s what makes it hard for the other women in my life,” Levert wrote. “I expect them to be on mom’s level. That’s probably not very realistic. She’s strong, though. She took a lot of stuff from dad. I mean it was never physical abuse, but it was a lot of raising kids when he was on the road.”
Martha Levert’s cause of death has not been revealed.
