Rolling Stone, 05/29/2003, p.71, "...Documentarians D.A. Pennebaker and Chris Hegedus blend insights with rare concert footage, creating one for the time capsule..." Los Angeles Times, 05/9/2003, p.C8, "...This is a concert film with lots of appetizing filler that gives a sense of the geographical and stylistic evolution of rhythm and blues in cities across the nation....The film offers a striking contrast in performing styles..." New York Times, 05/09/2003, p.E20, "...The film's most moving performances are by Mr. Butler....With a rich, pleading voice that conveys several layers of rusted sadness, wisdom and determination, Mr. Butler remains a peerless soul balladeer..."

Title NoteTheatrical Release: May 9, 2003 Distributor NoteOnly The Strong Survive: A Celebration Of Soul Only The Strong Survive: A Celebration Of Soul Release NoteDVD Features: Product NotesInfluential documentarian D.A. Pennebaker, perhaps best known for his 1967 Bob Dylan documentary DON'T LOOK BACK, co-directs ONLY THE STRONG SURVIVE, a fascinating look at some of the most influential soul musicians from the 1960s and 1970s. Pennebaker's film centers around the survivors from this tumultuous period in soul music, talking at length to Sam Moore, Wilson Pickett, Rufus Thomas, Mary Wilson, and Isaac Hayes amongst others. All have a bittersweet story to tell of their time in the business, many having experienced the euphoric highs of chart success, followed by a fall from grace, and a late resurrection of their careers upon which this film focuses.
