Mike Posted August 8, 2019 Posted August 8, 2019 This time around going for a 'brother' themed 'version' poll a classic song thats been done by two brothers, whats your take... Billy Butler - Right Track Jerry Butler - The Right Track the question being which brothers version do you prefer nowadays... ?
Guest Posted August 8, 2019 Posted August 8, 2019 (edited) There's only one definitive version. Billy Butlers is the one and only as far as I'm concerned. NO comparison, and NO arguments! One of THE all-time classics, spanning the Wheel, Torch, Casino, and a score of other wonderful places. To those of us of a certain vintage, it brings back memories by the thousands.

Daved Posted August 9, 2019 Posted August 9, 2019 Never heard the Jerry Butler version before and I like it. What a voice! Not sure if it's better though. 3
Rick Scott Posted August 9, 2019 Posted August 9, 2019 Just love Billy Butlers version as it is a Classic. But today Jerry Butler Tips It for me, Why? as Mal C says, It's refreshing and i think so right for todays Soul Scene, as never really had the exposure of Billys version and a completely different feel, musically, vocally and production wise, and oh yes, It's Cool As Ice! 1

As I said, "NO comparison, NO argument". And no matter how much I love just about everything the guy ever did, Jerrys version can be as fresh as fresh can be but it still can't hold a candle to Billys, sorry!
Rick Scott Posted August 9, 2019 Posted August 9, 2019 (edited) They should have Both got into the studio and recorded a Duet Version of it, Now THAT would have been interesting! Edited August 9, 2019 by Rick Scott missed word out 1
Tomangoes Posted August 12, 2019 Posted August 12, 2019 Jerry is great, but it's the first time hearing for me also? How is that possible? Denise LaSalle? Also new to me. I've led a sheltered top 500 life I think:( Ed 2

Hooker1951 Posted August 12, 2019 Posted August 12, 2019 That’s a damm good version from Jerry Butler no doubt about it ML 3
Mal C Posted August 12, 2019 Posted August 12, 2019 (edited) ‘Jer-Rey ! Jer-Rey! Jer-Rey! !’ Edited August 12, 2019 by Mal C 2
Modernsoulsucks Posted August 12, 2019 Posted August 12, 2019 Also Fabulous Ballads. Way too frantic and messy with dubbed audience.
Bruv Posted August 12, 2019 Posted August 12, 2019 Billy hand's down for me, One Hell Of A Dancer, gee that's worn out some Shoe Leather over the Years...
Wicked Posted August 13, 2019 Posted August 13, 2019 Billy's version is a classic, no doubt about it, but I think I'd rather listen to Jerry's version these days.
Mike Posted August 15, 2019 Author Posted August 15, 2019 closing midnite so last chance to vote for your current preference...
Twinroots Posted August 15, 2019 Posted August 15, 2019 Billy for me..but Jerrys is a mighty fine version
