He grew up in Chicago and had many hit singles, especially as the lead singer with the Impressions.
Those hit singles included, Let It Be [D#] Me, Only the Strong Survive, and He Will Break [N] Your Heart.
The Iceman, Jerry Butler, released a song in 1968 that we're featuring today.
It made it to number 16 on the Hot 100 and number one R&B.
