Artist Biography
Jerry Butler's career spans four decades; he recorded more than 50 albums and his voice is one of the most distinguished voices in all of music. As soulful as ever yet smooth as ice, his nickname "The Ice Man" epitomizes his demeanor. An early member of the Impressions, he signed with Mercury in 1967 and teamed up with the production duo of Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff. His solo work with these two master producer/songwriters resulted in some classic recordings, including the outstanding album The Ice Man Cometh and its two chart-topping hits ("Hey, Western Union Man," "Only the Strong Survive"). ~ Craig Lytle
