I knew him personally he was a friend of my husbands, heroin DID NOT take him out or kill him it was cancer. He was a very nice and kind beautiful person. RIP

Eddie Levert managed to out live dam near everybody including his sons. That’s gotta be heavy to carry.

Man you can't tell me Walter Williams is not the coolest old dude alive! Anytime I sing an O'Jays song, I gotta sing his parts.

[@timmy841212]

Eddie, Walter and William were powerful together. RIP William Powell.

William was a gentle soul, I knew all of the group from start to finish. Attended High School with Eddie, Walter, Bill Isle and Bobby Massey but attended grade school and high school with William. Talked to William after he left the O'Jays and just before he passed. RIP William.

William Powell was the cornerstone of the group. It was difficult for Sammy Strain to step into his boots. William Powell was well loved by the O'Jays fans.

In Cleveland, we proudly claimed The O'Jays. I met William once. He was a very handsome man and a kind person. I loved that lineup of Eddie, Walter, and William.

I'm so glad you did this on William,he was a quiet storm and I remember he was really quiet and and didn't say much,I was around 10 or 11 and I had the biggest crush on him,I would just stare at him every chance I would get ! My mom is Eddie Leverts cousin and I was around them a lot when I was a little girl .When they would come to Detroit where Eddie's mom lived my aunt Blanche we would all go over to aunt Blanches house and we would have a ball,I remember Gerald and I used to play together and everyone would meet up in my aunt Blanches basement and Eddie Kendrick and David Ruffun and Lionel Riche were there this particular time and Gerald would put on his dad's records and sing for us and they would pass a hat around and every one would put money in the hat for Gerald every time he would sing one of his daddies songs ! We were trying to start a group with Eddie's sister my cousin Renee cause that girl could sing and so could me and my sister's but it never worked out,wow thank you again,you are doing an awesome job. ! God bless you and please keep these videos coming ! 😊👍

William Powell - handsome as EVER ! He sung the high - 1st tenor part of the harmony. I met him after a concert and everybody was all over Eddie and Walt trying to get an autograph. But William was way off to the side, leaning against a wall wearing a green hoodie. I don't think anybody recognized it was him. I motioned him to sign my album. He smiled, took my album and signed it. I blushed thanking him, but without reading it - rushed back over to get Eddie & Walt's autograph - but they shut it down. I went home disappointed not getting their autograph. But when I woke up the next morning and read William 's autograph, he wrote :

[@brodocbetty4856]

Powell was an above average Tenor and you hear great harmony in his recordings with the group.

[@MakupNluvMusic]
