Jerry Butler Esq

Initially a member of The Impressions, Jerry Butler was quickly singled out for special attention by Vee Jay Records, a move that didn't exactly please his erstwhile band mates. However, the success of For Your Precious Love, which received a dual credit for both Jerry and The Impressions, was the signal for two successful recording entities to emerge. Jerry Butler Esq is his debut album and one that finds him more of a supper club singer than an out and out R&B singer. This is not intended in any way detrimental to Jerry, for there is no doubt that he can handle the material with ease, including a reworking of For Your Precious Love, September Song and Come Back My Love.
