Welcome to Soul POD Classics. I’m Gail Nobles. Today we’re going to talk about “Hey, Western Union Man": A Classic Soul Hit from 1968
In 1968, soul music took a big step forward with the release of "Hey, Western Union Man" by Jerry Butler. This catchy song, written by Butler along with songwriters Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff, quickly became a favorite. It marked Butler's second number one hit on the R&B charts, where it stayed at the top for one week.
The song tells the story of a man asking the Western Union service to send a telegram to his loved one. Its smooth melody and heartfelt lyrics made it not just a hit on the R&B charts but also a crossover success, reaching the Top 40 on pop music charts. This song was part of a series of hits that Butler achieved during the late 1960s, highlighting his talent and the growing popularity of soul music.
