“Only The Strong Survive” #4 4/19/1969

The biggest hit for Jerry Butler on the pop charts, but his third R&B #1 record. The Iceman co-wrote this with his producers, Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff. It just plain oozes Philadelphia soul, doesn’t it? Elvis did a version on his album “From Elvis In Memphis,” which the King recorded outside his normal L.A. or Nashville sessions.
