My Greatest 100 (or so) Albums...

The Best of Jerry Butler (Rhino, 1987) Jerry Butler. The Iceman, Jerry Butler always delivered. This is as good a place as any to start hearing his great works. It covers the first decade and change of his career, but is missing too many songs to really be a best of. So what you want to do, is go to the record store and see which of the best of type discs has the most songs on it. If you don't take this one, make sure the one you take has everything on this one PLUS Moody Woman. He's one of the great soul singers and really the only one from the Ray Charles/Sam Cooke group of original soul men who is still around. I feel like Ben E. King was just a little later, though a case could be made he belongs in that group. I'm sure they have this and a bunch of Jerry Butler collections at Amazon.
