Jerry Butler - Hey Western Union Man

Hey Western Union Man

Jerry Butler co-wrote this 1971 track with the legendary Philadelphia production team of Kenneth Gamble and Leon Huff. The collaboration brought together Butler's smooth vocal style with the sophisticated Philly soul sound that Gamble and Huff were perfecting. This partnership represented Butler's transition from his earlier Chicago soul recordings to the lush arrangements of early 70s R&B.
