Jerry Butler- All Time Jerry Butler Hits-2xLP

All Time Jerry Butler Hits gathers some of the most memorable moments from the career of Chicago soul’s “Iceman,” whose smooth voice helped shape the genre over decades. The album includes “For Your Precious Love,” a 1958 classic that earned a spot on Rolling Stone’s 500 Greatest Songs of All Time, and its B-side “Sweet Was the Wine,” offering a glimpse at Butler’s early soulful harmonies with The Impressions. The collection moves through heartfelt ballads like “He Will Break Your Heart” and “A Woman With Soul,” showcasing Butler’s knack for blending emotional depth with polished delivery. It’s a snapshot of an artist whose influence quietly runs deep through soul and R&B. This 1972 pressing captures that era with a straightforward presentation on vinyl, ideal for those who appreciate the tactile experience as much as the music. If you’re arranging your soul section, this one fits neatly without demanding special treatment—proof that sometimes, the coolest records are the ones that keep their composure without breaking a sweat.
