None of these descriptions do justice to the breadth of his talent. He was all of them and more. Born in Texas in pitiful surroundings, one would have thought that he’d become a bluesman. It was out on the West Coast that Ivory Joe gained national attention. He recorded for King Records and 4 Star before signing a contract with MGM. On MGM he had his first national hit with “I Need You So” and the million seller, “I Lost My Mind”. In 1954 he 1. I’m Coming Down With The Blues (I.J.

INFORMATION Perhaps the most remarkable statistic of Pat Boone's career is that he was the biggest charting artist of the 1950s, with 39 US Top 100 entries, one more than Elvis (indeed Pat still holds the 'Billboard' record for spending 220 consecutive weeks on the US charts). Although he later became identified with big ballads and movies themes, Pat first exploded onto the US charts in March 1955 – a full year before Elvis – as a straightforward Rock 'n' Roller.

  • Jerry Butler and the Impressions."
    February 28, 1988— The flash shines brighter as the song grows older. Formerly the cool baritone of the Impressions, Jerry "The Ice Man” Butler just returned from an oldies show in Pittsburgh, where he appeared with the Flamingos and the Moonglows. During a conversation in his fifth- floor offices at the County Building, I asKed the CooK County commissioner what goes through his mind when he listens to the permanent magic of the old songs - the stark beauty of "For Your Precious Love," the snap- fingered soul of "It's Alright" and the grizzly power of "Only the Strong Survive." "It's difficult to thinK in those terms," he said. "The one thing that came to my mind was that most of the members in those groups were either dead or no longer in the group. "Those things really flash at you when you're in that environment." Butler will appear in an arena of his own next week in the Moulin Rouge at the Fairmont Hotel, 200 N. Columbus. By all rights, the Impressions should have blazed the same trail of glory as the Temptations. Butler’s appointed lead baritone was the ideal complement for the vulnerable falsetto of Curtis Mayfield. Through such wide emotional range, the Impressions could be masculine with Butler’s booming voice or feminine through Mayfield's soaring sentimentality. Butler and Mayfield were the original river deep, mountain high. Butler formally left the Impressions in 1959 - only a year after their first hit, "For Your Precious Love" - although he continued to collaborate as a songwriter and singer with Mayfield.
