Like an old 45 record it consists of two songs
The first, a real joy, is a Chicago Stepper’s remix of my 2020 release
Who’s It Gonna Be.
This is a classic soul ballad that was penned over 40 yrs ago
when soul music was the popular verbiage used to describe RnB.
And yes either version is a soulful twist from days gone by.
The second is my remake of a classic Jerry Butler ballad
Never Gonna Give You Up
So so many memories here. I can’t even begin to speak of how incredible
Jerry Butler was. What I will say is that there will never be another Iceman.
Or for that matter The Iceman’s Band. The classic material he cowrote with
Gamble and Huff, or sang with Brenda Lee Eager, Betty Everett, Curtis Mayfield
and their old group, The Impressions, Then there are the songs he recorded first by
Henry Mancini, Bacharach and David, not to mention the list of performers who
covered songs he penned, like Dusty Springfield, Smokey Robinson, Bruce Springsteen,
Tony Orlando And Dawn, there’s just to many to mention. So I’ll end by saying how much
of an honor it is to throw my cap into this list with my cover of Never Gonna Give You Up.
Get your groove on with my remake of this classic by Chicago’s Iceman, Jerry Butler.
