Jerry Butler can sing anything...witness the variety in this timeless collection of superb classics including "Moon River" and experience one of the finest male vocalists in the past fifty years!!! Starting with the magnificent "For Your Precious Love" which Jerry still delivers in a masterful and sublime way, this incredibly great singer has not been given his just due and listening to his various collections of remarkable performances make this hard to figure out...no male singer moves me quite the way Mr. Jerry Butler does and listening to "Make It Easy On Yourself" makes this easy to understand! Filled with classic hits and numerous stunning performances, this is a must have collection for anyone who appreciates the finest that music can offer...Bravo to Jerry Butler and to the wonderous Betty Everett who do "Let It Be Me" so gorgeous making this the definitive version and they make this classic standard totally their own in a very magical way...we love and miss you Betty Everett and long live Jerry Butler and please go back into the studio and grace us with another classic like only you can!!!

To Joey Hoffman.......2004-11-25

NOW there is a box set of Jerry Butler songs, one with his sometimes partner, the late Betty Everett (Shoop Shoop Song, Let It Be Me) included. So all of you get that cocoa and check out Amazon. You'll find it. All the Butler you can stand. This one? It's what Joey said but there ARE other singers. If you want a little bit of Jerry Butler, this package contains some of his best tunes. You won't be disappointed with The Iceman. Believe it.
