#jerrybutler #philadelphiasoul #chicagosoul #music Jerry Butler - “I’m Just Thinking About Cooling Out” on the Philadelphia International Records label, the style: Disco & Soul released in 1978. A song produced by Kenneth Gamble & Leon Huff. Written by Jerry Butler, Kenneth Gamble, & Leon Huff. ..

This Week’s #NewRelease: #BruceSpringsteen – Only the Strong Survive (11/2022). Bruce’s trademark sound always swung like classic #R&B more than quadrilateral #rock, so this 15-track #soul covers album makes stylistic sense. Bruce’s voice is strong as ever, and his affinity for the material helps avoid the formaldehyde stiffness typical of covers sets. If nothing else, it’ll push Boss fans to revisit originals by #JerryButler, #Commodores, #Temptations, #FourTops, #DobieGray, et. al. Rating: A-
