The Soul Survivors' only giant hit, "Expressway to Your Heart," was one of the first notable productions by Philadelphia wizards <a href="spotify:artist:0TEdanYTgQdUgNBPjK2vXI">Kenny Gamble</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:24uSOCTYbMPqL1B56WYT7T">Leon Huff</a> in 1967. Although they were white, the Soul Survivors adopted a convincing R&B sound for their early singles on Crimson. <a href="spotify:artist:0TEdanYTgQdUgNBPjK2vXI">Gamble</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:24uSOCTYbMPqL1B56WYT7T">Huff</a> loaded "Expressway to Your Heart" with honking horns and other automotive sound effects, but the record's principal strength lay in its soulful vocals and pounding beat. After a less successful follow-up, "Explosion in Your Soul," the band faded but returned for one more hit in 1974. ~ Bill Dahl, Rovi
