"Casanova" is a 1987 single by LeVert, written and produced by Reggie Calloway. It reached #5 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart and #9 on the UK Singles Chart, LeVert's only Top Ten on either chart. It was Number One on the Billboard Hot Black Singles chart for two weeks, becoming the group's second Number One. It has become a standard number for New Orleans brass bands following its popularization by the Rebirth Brass Band. The song is featured in 1987's The Pick-Up Artist, starring Robert Downey Jr. and Molly Ringwald, and appears on the soundtrack album of the Whoopi Goldberg movie Fatal Beauty, released the same year.

"Casanova" has been covered by Ultimate KAOS, whose version peaked at #24 in 1997 in the UK.

In 1997, British boyband Ultimate Kaos recorded a version and released it as the lead single from the second album "The Kaos Theory". It was re-released in summer 1998.
