Terry Callier / Jerry Butler – Ordinary Joe (7")
Product information "Terry Callier / Jerry Butler – Ordinary Joe (7")"
On the latest edition of their excellent Soul Essentials series, Outta
Sight has decided to bring together two versions of 'Ordinary Joe', a
seemingly perennial favourite written by the late, great Terry Callier.
His celebrated 1972 recording - all bold, sing-along choruses, organ
stabs, jangling piano and lolloping grooves - breezes its way across
side A, while Jerry Butler's earlier version, laid to tape in 1970, sits
on side B. His version is much more expansive and musically detailed
than Callier's take, with superb production from Gamble & Huff and
some brilliant orchestral arrangements courtesy of Donny Hathaway. Both
versions are, or course, incredible.
