The Soul Survivors

The Soul Survivors

The Soul Survivors were a Philadelphia R&B group, known for their 1967 hit "Expressway to Your Heart", which was the first hit by Philadelphia soul producers Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff.

They first played together in New York City under the name The Dedications, releasing several singles under this name in 1962 and 1964. They adopted the name Soul Survivors in 1965. They signed to Philadelphia label Crimson Records, who put them in touch with Gamble & Huff. "Expressway to Your Heart" was a #1 hit regionally in Philadelphia and New York in the spring of 1967, and the tune reached #4 on the Billboard Hot 100 nationally. The follow-up was "Explosion in Your Soul", which was not as successful (U.S. #33); a third release, "Impossible Mission", also was a minor hit in 1969 (U.S.#68). They quit playing for a few years, but re-formed with a different lineup in 1972. They had one more hit in 1974. As of 2006, the original Soul Survivors (the Ingui brothers Richie and Charlie) are still going strong with a new band, and are playing dates throughout the eastern United States.
