Groove On is the second studio album by Gerald Levert. It was released on September 6, 1994[1] and reached number two on the US Top R&B Albums and number 18 on the US Billboard 200. The album is the follow-up to Levert's debut album, Private Line (1991). The first single from the album was the David Foster produced "I'd Give Anything", a cover of the 1993 song that was originally recorded by short lived country music group Boy Howdy.[2] It was Levert's second top 40 crossover hit. The music video for the second single "How Many Times" was directed by actress Jada Pinkett.[3] Two more singles included "Can't Help Myself" and "Answering Service".
