STORYLINE:
Jerry Butler, a premier soul singer whose rich, steady baritone graced such hits as "For Your Precious Love," "Only the Strong Survive" and "Make It Easy On Yourself," has died at age 85.
Butler’s niece, Yolanda Goff, told the Chicago Sun-Times that Butler died Thursday at his home in Chicago.
A key voice for soul music made in Chicago and Philadelphia, he was a member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and a three-time Grammy Award nominee.
Butler was also an inspired songwriter who collaborated with Otis Redding on “I’ve Been Loving You Too Long” and with Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff on “Only the Strong Survive."
