A song written by Jerry Butler, Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff and originally sung by Jerry Butler in 1968, released on his album The Ice Man Cometh.
Because of the world crisis today, I thought the title would be inspirational enough. The song had not been in the limelight, even though it was sung by the King, but the chorus is a great war-cry against the virus.
With much support and help from Singapore Front-Liners, all will survive. So psych yourselves everyone!
Be strong, think positive, believe in the people who are in charge.
Thanks again to the doctors, nurses, hospital assistants, security people, attendants and other front-liners who face the patients.
Partial lyrics below: Elvis Presley's version - 1969.
"Oh, there's gonna be, there's gonna be
A whole lot of trouble in your life
Oh, so listen to me, get up off of your knees
Cause only the strong survive"
That's what she said:
"Only the strong survive, only the strong survive
Oh, you've got to be strong, you'd better hold on
Don't go all around with your head hung down"
And she said it:
"Only the strong survive, only the strong survive
Oh, you've got to be a man, you've got to take a stand
Only the strong survive, only the strong survive..."

Only the young can survive while the very young and old ones are vulnerable against the corona virus
Yes we are vulnerable Stephen. But I still go eat my noodles at the shops. Hoping for the
Winston you might wanna get rid of that LP, remember? You can pass it on to me :-)
Thanks Charlie and Jimmy for the thumbs up
Hi Freda, thanks. You too, take care of yourself. Jangan terlalu merayap ke-sana sini, macam Ms Koh Sui Pang. :-) Song has a nice beat, typical Elvis.
Never heard this song before, kind of very encouraging, stay safe and healthy always Andy.
