RIP Jerry Butler!!!
This is my favorite song from him "Make It Easy On Yourself"
Fun Fact: Dionne Warwick did the demo to this song, early 1962 for Burt Bacharach to shop around and it got to Jerry Butler and it was a top 20 hit in 1962

#RIPJerryButler. Fare Thee Well, Iceman. Growing up in The Seventies, I discovered the extraordinary music of The Impressions, then the great solo works of Curtis Mayfield & Jerry Butler. The impression they left on me remains profound & soul deep.

That damn @Kemani_0718 got me in tears! Going thru his IG story and he has my favorite song from Jerry Butler playing!! His version is the best for me and it's the original! But Dionne Warwick did the demo in early 1962!
