He would become one of the greatest Soul \/ Jazz voices of all time, although he barely knew it in his own lifetime. Both his debut album \u003ci\u003eThe New Folk Sound \u003c\/i\u003eand single, \u003ci\u003eLook At Me Now \u003c\/i\u003ehad failed commercially when he was contracted by Jerry Butler to his Songwriters Workshop. It was here that he wrote his timeless masterpiece \u003ci\u003eOrdinary Joe\u003c\/i\u003e which first appeared on Butler’s 1970 Mercury album \u003ci\u003eYou and Me\u003c\/i\u003e. Butler’s version of the song has been largely overlooked, underrated and undervalued - until now, 50 years later, when it finally makes its 7-inch single debut! \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eListeners can finally hear both versions of this timeless masterpiece back-to-back. A definitive soul essential, Callier’s rendition of \u003ci\u003eOrdinary Joe\u003c\/i\u003e appeared a couple of years later, in 1972, on the second of his three critically acclaimed Cadet albums \u003ci\u003eOccasional Rain\u003c\/i\u003e. The ’72 single was taken from the album and now commands a hefty £700+ price tag. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Outta Sight","offers":[{"title":"Black | 7\"","offer_id":50531231007051,"sku":"1107118","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/3fb7a822-a0f5-4d80-89e7-aa386aa37dde_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1728100129","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/products\/ordinary-joe","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
