JERRY BUTLER
After a successful stint as lead singer for "The Impressions", Jerry Butler launched on his own. His solo career turned out a series of hits like "For Your Precious love". " Only The Strong Survive", "Find Another Girl", "Aware of Love", and a song I'm surprised didn't top the charts _ "The Girl In His Mind"
This song has all the ingredients to capture your attention and hook your soul. The music is a gem. The opening riff of that guitar which stays throughout the song, the string arrangements, the pronounced bass, the smooth brass in the background, the lyrical content, and Jerry Butler's cool delivery is packaged so expertly to take you on an unforgettable journey. Listen.
Not knowing where or when
His love for him begins
He created the perfect girl
For him in his mind
And he's determined to find
No matter the cost or the time
The girl in his mind
Beneath a star lit sky Her dreams are oh so high
She stands wishing for the boy
While deep in sleep she dreams
The girl is hoping she'll be found
Before her dreams break down
The girl in his mind.
He thinks of her
And she thinks of him
Although they never met
It could happen to them
California is where she stays
He lives in Memphis
Over two thousand miles away
But he's so sure he'll find
He ain't even worried about the time
He's gonna find the girl in his mind
He really believes he gonna find
The girl in his mind, oh yeah
She really knows No matter how it goes When they get together
It'll be love forever
The girl In his mind
In his mind
