Product Description
The man has been making sweet soul music since 1959 and his influence upon generations of soul singers is undisputed. Butler was nicknamed the Ice Man for being a model of cool restraint during performances but at the same time delivering the deepest soul emotions with his vocals, as opposed to the histrionic presentation displayed by most of his contemporaries to achieve the same effect.
His beginnings were with Curtis Mayfield in the Impressions (we include their biggest hit 'For Your Previous Love' as a bonus for reference) before going solo in 1960 and scoring a succession of major US hits. The association with Mayfield continued and a number of the songs included on this compilation are written by Mayfield, or by Mayfield and Butler together.
Other notable writers include Van McCoy, Barrett Strong, Don Covay, Lieber/Stoller, Bacharach & David. The latter pairing provided Butler with a massive hit in 1962 with the original version of 'Make It Easy On Yourself' covered later in the UK by the Walker Brothers. Also originally recorded by Butler was the song 'Moon River ', a top 20 US hit for him in 1961 and covered by Danny Williams in the UK.
In all Butler had 6 top 40 US pop hits (many more R&B hits) and they are all on this definitive overview of Butlers early 60's Soul career, before he signed with Mercury in 1967.
