HUBERT MINOR MANN II, also known as ‘Butch,’ was born in Akron, Ohio, on Friday, October 15, 1943, to Hubert Mann and Iris Humphrey Mann. As a child, his dad taught him how to play the guitar, which he would soon master. Upon graduating from high school, Butch traveled the world with Ruby & the Romantics, which led to playing with other groups such as The Chiffons, The Drifters, and singer, Miss Dionne Warwick. In 1964, Butch married Judy Craig and lived in New York for years until divorcing. He later married Lynette Orelona Jackson in 1985. They resided in Detroit until her demise on March 17, 2014.
