Jerry Butler - 1972 KHJ Sales Sheet

This is a one-sheet for Jerry Butler from a 1972 KHJ Sales Folder. The text reads:

Jerry Butler ... Strong ... Vital ... Intimate ... Professional

The Jerry Butler Show has muscle! Jerry doesn’t get pushed around by the music, he takes control and lets you know it! There’s a warm, funky feeling on his show that is underlined by a no-nonsense approach to the job. It’s clean and enjoyable and has a certain strength because Jerry is always in command.

A quiet personality off-the-air, Jerry is into music in a vital way; keeping touch with all the new things that are happening and passing them on to his listeners.
