- catalog abstract ""Jerry Butler's Only the Strong Survive presents a portrait of a performer, as well as an up-close and personal look at the world of rhythm-and-blues. Filled with intimate anecdotes about such R & B legends as Otis Redding, Curtis Mayfield, Patti LaBelle, Sam Cook, and Dionne Warwick, Butler's narrative is told against the backdrop of 1960s America. Only the Strong Survive, as told to Earl Smith, is an autobiography; but more than that, it is history. Drawing on countless conversations and interviews with Butler and others, Smith chronicles the "Iceman's" journey from rural Mississippi to Chicago, and the founding and eventual breakup of the legendary Impressions vocal group."--Jacket.".
