Given the time, 1967, it was also a notable collaboration between a white band and the duo of black producers. Never heard much about the group after that, although they are still appearing in clubs around Philly. But Gamble and Huff went on to major, major success.
Even though "Expressway to Your Heart" was just an adolescent R&B love song with a great dance beat, the song's title had a lot of meaning for Philadelphians because of the main expressway route that winds through the City alongside the Schuylkill River (pronounced SKOO-kill). It's named, oddly enough, the Schuylkill Expressway. Even at 55 mph, you whiz by beautiful views, including parts of Fairmont Park (one of the largest city parks in the U.S., full of extraordinary monuments, the U.S. Centennial building and even large manor houses), and also the famous Boat House Row behind the magnificent Philadelphia Museum of Art.
I suppose the song's title gave the young 60s Boomers a thrill, blasting out over the car radio the first times they were able to drive with a date on a murderously curving and distracting superhighway like "the Surekill."
