I am 33 and I am so shocked at the foul display music has turned into. With the exception of Adele this is the music I grew up to and still listen to it. My husband and I love this music. The "Ice Man" is unmatched.

Best and only version of this song in my opinion. Mr Jerry Butler...timeless

I do the same thing. I listen to these songs and go back to my teenage years. With so much that was going on back then, I still enjoyed those days.

JUST MISSED!!! "For Your Precious" just missed making the Billboard's Top 10 chart; it peaked at No. 11 and spent a total of 12 weeks in the Top 100 in 1958. This record was Mr. Butler's debut on the charts!!!

As much as I love Otis Redding, this has to be my favorite version and one of my favorite songs. Gives me the shivers every time I hear it.

My mother was a big fan of Jerry Butler, she played the "ICE MAN" music all the time. I was such a little girl but I understood it was something magical about the lyrics in this short, get to the point song, My mother is now 75 years old and she switched gears to gospel music but from time to time she mentions how much she miss the love songs from back in the day.

@2godbetheglory Hello. Thank you for sharing that with us all. I was a little girl when I learned all about the oldies from the 50s into 60s. My grandparents and parents played them often, and they would dance to them. One evening all four of them showed me the "stroll" which was special to see a dance from back then like the twist. My favorite was watching them do the mashed potatoes. I love the oldies. Such beautiful music. Take care - Jo.
