885: Soul Survivors Release “Expressway To Your Heart”
This timeless hit song by Philly’s Soul Surivors was released in 1967 and exemplified the genesis of the Sound of Philadelphia. Written by Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff, the song’s honking horns and sound effects combined with the blue-eyed soul of Charlie and Richie Ingui have made this one of the great all-time singles to come from the Philly music canon and the ultimate song to be listening to on the drive on the Schuykill Expressway. The song hit #4 on Billboard Top 100 and remains one of the classics.
This song is still going strong. I hear it at least twice a week!
