awww. I once saw him in Crested Butte, Colorado. We were on vacation in a restaurant with family. We were told he was in town to interview a woman who had gotten a misread on a mamogram test. I think it was faulty equipment. He smiled at us when we walked by him. I just thought he seemed so friendly. He was a great reporter and will be missed!

even mike wallace did not know - though he thought something was wrong when Ed stopped going by his office every day to the gym the last year - and Ed had to put off a spleen operation a year ago because of a high temp... but Mike didnt want "to pry" so he never asked for details on what was really going on - so even he was blindsided today with the news -- as we all are

He was distinguished, the calmest, least showy, and the most interesting interviewer of the lot.

ed bradley was my favourite t.v. journalist. classy, intelligent, thoughtful; there are so many great words to describe him. and he had a wonderfully fun sense of humour that came out in many interviews. he will be missed.

He will be missed. He was the epitome of class and taste. I heard on the radio this morning that he won some sort of award for his interview with Timothy McVeigh. He was the only one to whom McVeigh would give an interview.

NEW YORK - Gerald Levert, the fiery singer of passionate R&B love songs and the son of O'Jays singer Eddie Levert, died on Friday. He was 40. His label, Atlantic Records, confirmed that Levert died at his home in Cleveland, Ohio. "All of us at Atlantic are shocked and deeply saddened by his untimely death. He was one of the greatest voices of our time, who sang with unmatched soulfulness and power, as well as a tremendously gifted composer and an accomplished producer," the statement read. Levert first gained fame back in 1986, as a member of the R&B trio LeVert, which also included his brother, Sean. They quickly racked up hits like "(Pop, Pop, Pop, Pop) Goes My Mind," "Casanova," and "Baby I'm Ready." But Gerald Levert's voice — powerful and soulful, almost a carbon-copy of his father's — was always the focal point, and in 1991, he made his solo debut with the album "Private Line," which included a hit duet with his dad, "Baby Hold on to Me." Levert became known for his sensual, romantic songs, but unlike a Luther Vandross, whose voice and songs were more genteel, Levert's music was explosive and raw — his 2002 album was titled "The G Spot." His most recent album was 2005's "Voices."

My son just told me about Gerald Levert. I was just watching him on his daughter's Sweet 16 show on MTV. Sad day around show business today.

I am still so shocked by Gerald's death. He was one of my favorite male singers and just had a great personality. He'll be missed.
