Born in Chicago's North Side -- also home plate to Curtis Mayfield, Jerry Butler, and Ramsey Lewis -- and elevated in the area of the ill-famed Cabrini Green trapping projects, Callier began perusing the piano at the long prison term of tierce, writing his first base songs at the age of 11, and on a regular basis singing in doo wop groups throughout his formative days. While attending college, he erudite to play guitar, finally berth setting up residence at a Chicago coffeehouse dubbed the Fickle Pickle and in beat approaching to the attention of Chess Records organizer Charles Stepney, wHO produced Callier's debut single "Search at Me Now" in 1962. In 1964, Callier met Prestige label manufacturer Samuel Charters, and a twelvemonth after they entered the studio to record his full-length bow The New Folk Sound of Terry Callier; upon pass completion of the session, however, Charters traveled to Mexico with the professional tapes in tow, and the album went unreleased before finally appearing to small ostentation in 1968. Undaunted, Callier remained a fixture of the Windy City club scene, and in 1970 he and partner Larry Wade signed on with his boyhood supporter Jerry Butler's Chicago Songwriters Workshop. There they composed material for local labels including Chess and Cadet, almost notably authoring the Dells' 1972 smash "The Love We Had Stays on My Mind." The song's success again teamed Callier with Stepney, at present a manufacturer at Cadet, and yielded 1973's Occasional Rain, a beautiful fusion of tribe and nothingness textures which set the groundwork for the heavy farther explored on the following year's What Color Is Love? Disdain earning strong critical notices and edifice up a devoted winnow base end-to-end much of urban America, Callier failed to break through commercially, and later on 1975's I Just Can't Help Myself he was dropped by Cadet; in 1976, he too suffered another reversal when Butler closed the Songwriters Workshop. Upon signing to Elektra's Jazz Fusion embossment at the behest of label head Don Mizell, Callier resurfaced in 1978 with the lushly orchestrated Fire on Ice; with the follow-up, 1979's Turn You to Love, he finally cracked the pop charts with the single "Mansion of the Times," best known as the longtime theme for legendary WBLS-FM disk jockey Frankie Crocker. He even appeared at the Montreux Jazz Festival. However, when Mizell exited Elektra, Callier was quickly dropped from his contract; after a few more than years of diligent touring, he largely disappeared from music around during the early '80s; a single parent, he rather recognized a business as a computer programmer, reverting to college during the evenings to act on a degree in sociology. Disdain essentially unassuming from acting, Callier continued composing songs, and in 1991 he received a surprise telephone call from winnow Eddie Pillar, the head of the U.K. label Acid Jazz. Pillar sought permission to re-release Callier's little-known, self-funded single from 1983, "I Don't Want to See Myself (Without You)"; ostensibly overnight, the track record became a massive success on the British clubhouse circuit, and the isaac M. Singer was soon flown to Britain for a partner off of staggeringly well-received club dates. In the sexual climax months, more than gigs followed on both sides of the Atlantic, and in 1996, Callier even recorded a live LP, TC in DC. In 1997, he teamed with British vocalizer Beth Orton, another of his most vocal supporters, to record a geminate of tracks for her superb EP Best Bit; the following year, Callier besides released his Verve Forecast debut Timepeace, his first-class honours degree major-label cause in close to deuce decades. Lifetime followed in 1999, and deuce age later came Alert, recorded live at London's Jazz Cafe. Callier returned in 2002 with Speak Your Peace and 2005 with Lookin' Out.
