The Soul Survivors

Anyone else a fan of these guys? Expressway To Your Heart was always one of my favorite songs and it always got a lot of radio play here in Philly through the years.

But I can't find much information on these guys. There aren't many clips of them from back in the day and it looks like they only put out one album. I was surprised with having a #4 song on the charts that they didn't have a follow up single until a year later.

Can anyone identify the lead singers? Who is who on the album cover?

I do love their 2nd single, Explosion, even though it's pretty similar to Expressway and also love their cover of Too Many Fish In the Sea.

From the pictures I've seen it looks like they're white and maybe latino guys.

I also know Jerry Blavat had a lot to do with their success.
