JERRY BUTLER - COOLING OUT

SO COOL

[@christheone8773]

JERRY BUTLER dominated both Chicago and Philly Soul - magnificent song!!!

[@lasaviabrown7920]

This song brings tears to my eyes my dad bought me this album in 1978 I was age 6 rip Dad

[@darrylelkins681]

Dad was real interested in your taste in music

[@judithpadgett2134]

Ice Man Jerry Butler you are the best! Been listening to you for many, many years!

[@cicisandy08]

Jerry and this song were popular along the Grand Strand Myrtle beach. He still is for us boomers!! Love me some Jerry!

[@txbnet]

Loved this song when it came out in 1978 here. Moves along very smoothly. Thanks for posting.

[@a1artist]

The Sound of Philadelphia at its best! Superb arrangement.

[@GeorgeWhitney]

This is one of the Ice Man's best. What a beat! P-A-R-T-Y Y'ALL!

[@dburley2532]

Thanks for posting. I just caught the audio stream of this track on WDAS Sunday night dance party hosted by Joe "Butter" Tamburro. Just goes to further prove that Philly was the center of of successful R&B produced from, say, '72 thru '88. And I'm a New Yorker admitting this.

[@delam1970]

Jerry Butler reuniting with Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff back in 1978 with I’m Just Thinking About Coolin’ Out that returned the Iceman back into the R&B top twenty peaking at number 14 back in December 1978. It was a combination of Chicago/Philadelphia all over again!!! Great disco hit for those who needed a break from the daily grind and Jerry is telling like it is!!!

[@jedic5071]

Ok historian…nice call! That bass line is definitely the Sound of Philly!

[@yvettegraham8057]

One of the best disco songs ever. Love me some Jerry B

[@jamesarmstrong5003]

GAMBLE & HUFF !!!! LOVING ITTTTT !!

[@42CAINE]

We are From Carolina baby! Conway/Myrtle Beach is where I was born

[@mackmorrowjr8345]

I heard this on radio a couple of days ago and realized how true it is today even though the tune is maybe over 40 years old. I jumped on my Harley and left. I am just cooling out!

[@sauquoit13456]

On this day in 1978 {November 18th} Jerry Butler performed "{I'm Just Thinking About) Cooling Out" on the nationally syndicated television program, 'Soul Train'... At the time "Cooling Out" was at position #33 on Billboard's Hot Soul Singles chart, four weeks later it would peak at #14 {for 1 week}... Between 1958 and 1983 'The Iceman' had fifty-one records on the Hot Soul Singles chart, fifteen made the Top 10 with three reaching #1, "He Will Break Your Heart" for 7 non-consecutive weeks* in 1960, "Hey, Western Union Man" for 1 week in 1968, and "Only the Strong Survive" for 2 weeks in 1969... Twelve of his fifty-one charted records were duets; three with Betty Everett, three with Brenda Lee Eager, two with the Impressions, two with Gene Chandler, one with Patti Austin, and one with Debra Henry... Jerry Butler, Jr. will celebrate his 80th birthday next month on December 8th, 2019... R.I.P. Don Cornelius {1936 - 2012}... * Twice "He Will Break Your Heart" was bumped out of the #1 spot by "Let's Go, Let's Go, Let's Go" by Hank Ballard & the Midnighters, only to regain the #1 position for a 3rd time...

[@mustafamuhammad1616]

I need to down load this whole album.

[@motownbaby]

Why can’t I find this on Apple Music? ALL of Gamble/Huff’s music should be easily assessable. Especially now when music is in a depressed state.

[@11BravoRVN]

Just automatically have to turn this one up.

[@geoedgrav]

Yeah, Jerry was ahead of Marvin,Stevie, Barry, Teddy, Donny, Luther, Peabo and all of the balladeers. He was definetly deprived of his PROPERS. Check out his Nothing Says I Love You Like I love You.

[@TooDarnSoulful]
