Jerry Butler Aint Understanding Mellow Live!

[@ujimajame4601]

This is from the pre-PBS TV show "Soul!" (prduced by Ellis Haizlip featuring live Black entertainment from all all aspects of the Black experience). I believe was aired January 12, 1972. The female is Brenda Lee Eager, who was leader of the group Peaches and also collaborated with Jerry on "Is It Real What I Feel", "Walk Easy My Son", "(They Long To Be) Close To You", "I Only Have Eyes For You" and an entire album released in 1973 entitled "The Love We Have, The Love We Had."

Thanks! I thought this was from Soul! Jerry Butler was actually the host of several episodes. I bought the episodes that are available from Amazon Prime. There are sone great performances and interviews there.

[@davidwhitehurst568]

One of the best records from 1972 this should have won a grammy

[@bayboy1967]

Simply Wow. Brenda I felt that

[@melodysanger103]

HAPPY 75TH BIRTHDAY BRENDA LEE EAGER (AUGUST 6, 2023)

[@Stantwanh]

Happy birthday queen

[@gloriaking9131]

I thought Brenda Lee Edgar had passed...or maybe I'm thinking of Betty Everedge?

[@melodysanger103]

@@gloriaking9131 Betty Everett passed.

[@denisecarson6804]

So much emotion. Grown folks music. So very Soulful.

[@cassandradennis5685]

Damn!!! Jerry sounds incredible!!❤ Go head Girl, she sang that song. Excellent collaboration 👌🏼 👏🏼 ❤❤

[@vernoncarter9218]

The Iceman, a Nickname that was given to him from the late great philly radio jock legend Georgie woods

[@thurmanjackson8026]

Brenda Lee was feeling it!!! Just look at the expressions on her face as she hits those notes. She was like "I got this"!!!

[@jimdonovan8213]

Jerry and his wife gave me a lift in LA once. Nicest people u could imagine.

[@knockshinnoch1950]

A vastly under appreciated singer who deserved far greater mainstream success. He really should've been an A list superstar

[@fostermac7170]

He was for the period from '60-'72 or so.

[@mrstanbmw]

So True but I can count at least so many of our artist who never got the mainstream sucess but as Arlester Dyke Christain sang back in 1969 we Got More Soul and they know that

[@cedriclashar8905]

Sooooooooo good live. No studio over production. Real singers doing what they do...the ice man is so cold...and Ms.Lee...omg...soul personified.

[@gloriaking9131]

Jerry Butler and Brenda Lee Edgar ❤

I needed this.. married 42+3 yrs.. it's to go separate ways.. Dementia is a robber of the person you have once loved and cared for. But enough is enough..I live with a stranger. 😮

[@hansa3580]

You have just bared my soul, and spoke to my pain by sharing your heart, your dedication, unwavering love, it's overwhelming, it's sobering, it's humbling...

[@hansa3580]

This recording takes me back to my childhood, growing up in Chicago but, there is no way I could have comprehended it's meaning, just a young child hearing a song on AM radio, that echo chamber sound that I remember, guiding me thru so many precious but rushed but treasured memories. Now, having been married 31 years to a dear wife who when I met her had already suffered a spinal cord injury, but, now dealing with cognitive issues. I still cannot imagine, on any level, what you are carrying, no amount or words or comments, none...

[@sheilapalmer224]

You are the greatest

[@sheilapalmer224]

You are so sosososo incredible

[@constancenorfleet1975]

'COOK COUNTY COMMISSIONER', JERRY BUTLER was TOO KIND to ME in JUNE 1993 when I was FRUSTRATED COMMUNICATIONS SPECIALIST for the NEWLY OPENED 'PROVIDENT HOSPITAL of COOK COUNTY and WALKED RIGHT IN WITHOUT an APPOINTMENT, and sort of just 'BOGARDED' ( a CHICAGO EXPRESSION 😎) MY WAY IN to HIS OFFICE where HE 'HEARD ME OUT'😜(COMPLAINING about MY BOSS and some other 'STOOPID' STUFF, but I can HONESTLY SAY that HE 'ACTED' on MY CONCERNS! And I was PRIVILEGED to CREATE a PHOTO MEMORY of HIM that DAY in JUNE 1993! 'The ICEMAN' was JUST as SMOOTH and JAZZY at the COUNTY BUILDING as HE IS in 'THIS' VIDEO, and how bout YEARS AGO, I was 'BLOWIN' 'THIS' SONG also, as 'LADY SNOW' from the 'WINDY', aka the CITY of CHICAGO!💃🏽 BIG UP for UPLOADING and UPLIFTING✌🏽💜
