1941年シカゴ生まれ(同郷のCURTIS MAYFIELDとも親交が深い)、1960年代半ばから本格的な音楽活動を開始フォークとソウル、John Coltraneの影響を受けたジャズの要素を取り入れ融合した独自のフォーク・スタイルを確立、PRESTIGEに65年(THE NEW FOLK SOUND OF TERRY CALLIE)を録音したが成功のチャンスをつかめないまま60年代を過した。CHESS[CADETはブルースで有名なCHESS傘下他にARGOなどがある]のプロデューサー/アレンジャー、CHARLES STEPNEYに認められ所属していたDELLSのヒット曲(THE LOVE WE HAD STAYS ON MY MIND)のソングライティングなどで注目を集め、CHARLES STEPNEYプロデュースのもと傑作アルバム[CADET3部作:OCCASIONAL RAIN-72/WHAT COLOR IS LOVE-73/IJUST CAN'T HELP MYSELF-74]発表した。しかし、これら3枚とも商業的成功には至らなかった。3枚とも内容は素晴らしく70年代NEW SOULの名盤です。3枚とも人気盤でオリジナルな高値で取引されているらしいです。78年にELEKTRAに移籍2枚のアルバムを残しますが商業的成功に至らず、1970年代も不遇な時代を過し1983年には音楽業界から離れ、コンピュータ・プログラマーとなってしまいます。1990年代にロンドンでACID JAZZ/RARE GROOVEで盛り上がるなか再評価され、日本でも支持を獲得しました。名曲ACOUSTIC SOUL(GOTTA GET CLOSER TOU YOU)、COLTRANEに捧げられ(Can't Catch the Trane)、優美な弦アレンジのCHARLES STEPNEサウンド(Until Tomorrow)、ジャズ・スタンダード・カヴァー(Satin Doll)収録
