Only the Strong Survive (song)
"Only the Strong Survive" is a song written by Jerry Butler, Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff and originally sung in 1968 by Jerry Butler, released on his album The Ice Man Cometh. It was the most successful single of his career, reaching #4 on the Billboard Hot 100 and was #1 for two weeks on the Billboard Black Singles Chart, in March and April 1969, respectively.
"Only the Strong Survive" was the first of two singles which were platinum certified by the RIAA, selling over a million copies (the second was "Ain’t Understanding Mellow" in 1972).
Elvis Presley (1969) and Billy Paul (1977) also recorded versions of this song. Another version of this song was recorded by The Trammps in the Netherlands in 2003. It sounds very similar to Billy Paul's version. The song appears on the compilation album Only The Strong Survive (Sony), which oddly enough shows the remaining four group members on the cover. There's also an extended clubmix of this song on this CD. The clubmix was produced by Maas and Van der Weyde.

The Winners
The Winners, currently known as The Winners Rebooted is a long running Australian television series that shows highlights of Australian rules football matches.
Original show (1970s and 1980s)
The original version was broadcast during the late 1970s to late 1980s on the ABC on Sunday mornings. It was normally hosted by Drew Morphett with a panel consisting of former players and pundits. Two matches from the previous day's Victorian Football League (VFL) fixtures would be screened and the panel would speculate about the games along with the league ladder and the goal, mark and play of the day. The format of the show was comprehensive, yet devoted mainly to matters on the field. Today it appears simplistic when compared with modern football's more saturated and market driven media coverage.
New show (2000-2012)
A new version of The Winners returned on the Fox Footy Channel in 2002, hosted by Clinton Grybas, showing highlights of all eight AFL games from the weekend in a one-hour show. From 2007 to 2011, it was shown on Fox Sports on the Monday night following the round. In 2012, the show moved to Fox Footy channel.
My Way (1973 film)

Go For Gold
by: The WinnersWe believe that winnings come with attitude and heart
Determination let it bring us through.
The team that has the power to compete
Even in the moment of defeat.
Go for gold in South Korea
go for gold in '88
There's a pinacle for climbing down in Seoul the treasure waits.
And there's metal on the mountain for the team that never stops
It's the dream for every sportsman who is reching for the top.
Hey
go for gold and we're going for the metal
Till we're standing in the middle
We're singing hey ja
go for gold
put the pedal to the metal
Till we're standing in the middle
We're singing hey ja
hey ja
go for gold!
The path is long and winding and it's easy to forget
There's a winner and loser every game.
We're playing for each other and we're playing for the fans
They're always there to give the team a hand.
Go for gold in South Korea
go for gold in '88
