Only The Strong Survive — Billy Paul

An empowering and energetic blend of resilient soul and driving late-seventies dance grooves.

Moments Worth Listening For

The explosive moment when the driving four-on-the-floor disco beat locks in with the sweeping Philly strings on the title track.

The gritty, impassioned vocal delivery where the singer pushes his baritone to a raw, emotional rasp over a swelling brass arrangement.
