299 Jerry Butler (1939- ) and the Impressions “For Your Precious Love” 1958

Known as the Iceman “because he’s so cool,” “His first challenge was song battles against local groups who were dancers as well as singers. The battles were held in gymnasiums and the winners were gauged by the loudest audience response… ‘What they tried to do with footwork, we tried to do with harmony,’ Jerry said” (Ebony, Dec. 1969).
