Jerry Butler - "Only The Strong Survive" on Upbeat!

[MiBizzuh]

everytime i hear this song, i think of the scene in menace II society! don't u thank, it's bout time youu gave me my money?

[itdoesntmatter56789]

Are these not videos of him but entirely dubbed from the album?! Are there any videos of him singing his songs that are not lip-synced!?

[IanHunedoara8]

Song helped me survive during the gritty years.

[TippiP50]

I absolutely adore listening to and watching Gerry Butler sing this song. I'm not in a romance or a breakup, but the message in this song is exactly what I need to hear right now. "Only the strong survive," indeed. God bless you, Mr. Butler.

This was one of the top 45 records on the jukebox in the cafeteria at the Eglin Air Force Base in Ft. Walton Beach, FL. I contributed many a quarters just to groove to it! Love Jerry Butler!

Best of the Very Best! Thank you number one for me.

I had the pleasure of seeing him at the beech club in myrtle beach,sc in the late sixties. It cost $5.00. Been a fan ever since.

the great jerry butler

[SandyC1951]

Gotta love the Ice Man

[blujay01]

I remember watching Upbeat when I lived in Cleveland in the late 60's, early 70's. It was a great show.

[d768lm]

elvis may have gave a kick ass version but remember the original

[natural2696]

I never had the pleasure of seeing Jerry live but I have loved his music all the way back to his days with Curtis Mayfield and The Impressions.In these days of hard times it would be wise to take his words to heart.

[mbb72]

Elvis gave us a kick ass version in 1968...check it out.

[gittahfiend]

@mbb72 I Checked it out.It doesn't Hold a candle to this one.Elvis' version sounded kind of contrived and druggy to me.some songs just dont fit some people .sorry

[SuchAFUKnLAYtee]

@mbb72 DA HELL with ELViS! He was a DAMN COPYCAT!! IF IT WASN'T 4 JERRY...ELViS WOULD'NT HAVE HAD A VERSiON OF THiS SONG TO SiNG. BiG UP JERRY B. #YOUARETHEMAN

[MarshaYoyo]

@mbb72 Oh, pleassse! I certainly do not dislike Elvis, but the truth of the matter is Elvis never gave a 'kick ass' version of anything. As for Elvis's rendition of Butler's "Only the Strong Survive", it was at best quite mediocre--and I am being kind--since Elvis's sense of timing was noticeably off.

[sharonanony]

WE LOVE YA JERRY.

[PhuckHue2]

must have worked. Jerry is 70 and still kickin!

[tonyton44441]

this is the best

[dandman1965]

Nobody can belt out a tune like the "Iceman" can.
