Jerry Butler, Jr. (born December 8, 1947) is an American soul singer and songwriter. He is nicknamed “The Ice Man” for his cool, smooth vocal style. Butler is a former lead singer of the R&B group The Impressions, and has had a long solo career.

Butler was born in Sunflower, Mississippi, and grew up in Chicago, Illinois. His father was a preacher and his mother was a gospel singer. Butler began singing in his father’s church at the age of six. He joined The Impressions in 1958, at the age of eleven. The group had several hits, including “For Your Precious Love” (1958), “Amen” (1963), and “Keep On Pushing” (1964).
Butler left The Impressions in 1968 to pursue a solo career. He released his debut album, The Ice Man Cometh, in 1969. It included the hit single “Hey Western Union Man”. Butler’s next album, 1970’s Ice Man: The Journey of Jerry Butler, was even more successful. It included the singles “Only the Strong Survive” and “I Stand Accused”.
In the 1970s, Butler established himself as one of the most successful soul singers of the decade. He had a string of hit singles, including “Never Gonna Give You Up” (1972), “Hey Girl (I Like Your Style)” (1974), and “You’re the Best Thing (That Ever Happened to Me)” (1975). He also released several successful albums, including The Soul Goes On (1972), Love Me, Love Me, Love Me (1973), and Satisfaction Guaranteed (1976).
In the 1980s, Butler’s career began to decline. He released several albums that failed to sell well, and his singles were no longer hits. However, he made a comeback in 1988 with the album I’ll Be There for You. The album’s title track was a duet with Whitney Houston, and it became a top ten hit.

Butler has been married three times and has six children. He has been active in politics, and in 2006 he ran for Congress in Illinois. He has also been active in the fight against HIV/AIDS. In 2009, he was inducted into the Rhythm & Blues Hall of Fame.
Jerry Butler has an estimated net worth of $5 million. He has earned his wealth from his successful career as a soul singer and songwriter.
