There are multiple artists called Jerry Butler:

1) Jerry Butler, Jr. (born December 8, 1939 in Sunflower, Mississippi) is an American soul singer also known as “The Ice Man” because of his cool demeanour while singing often intensely emotional lyrics.

Butler was dubbed the “Iceman” by a Philadelphia disc jockey while performing in a Philadelphia theater. However, Butler achieved what eluded many earlier Doo Wop groups during the 1950s and 1960s — longevity. Butler’s solo career had a string of hits, including “He Will Break Your Heart,” “Moon River,” “Make It Easy On Yourself,” “Let It Be Me” (the Everly Brothers classic re-done as a duet with Betty Everett), “Brand New Me,” “Ain’t Understanding Mellow,” (duet with Brenda Lee Eager), and “Never Gonna Give You Up,” followed by two hugely successful albums The Iceman Cometh in 1968 and Ice On Ice in 1970. The Iceman Cometh garnered Butler three Grammy nominations. Jerry Butler further made recordings for Philadelphia International Records in the 80’s. His most noted song for the label was “Cooling Out”

    Jerry Butler as an artist is the top man. As a politician he sucks and I hope the voters sit you out on your ass. Got to love the music though! No denying that.

    You are now looking at the goofy old white guy in the cowboy hat. You can blame that on last.fm. when you go to the Ice mans page you get me, when you go to my page you get him, Can't help that I'm also Jerry Butler. I like to think I'm a little better than goofy tho'. I don't throw bad comments about Jerry Butler the Ice Man, in fact I think he's a great singer, he and I have been in the business about the same amount of years. Thank you Jerry Butler (Country Music Singer)

    I laughed my ass off when I started listening to Jerry Butler's sweet soul music and a picture of a goofy old white guy in a cowboy hat came up. That's comedy. Thanks, Last.fm!
