Alive & Kicking is the fifth and final album by American soul group The Delfonics, produced by Stan Watson and released in 1974 on the Philly Groove label. The album received a lukewarm reception, with critical opinion tending to the view that by this time The Delfonics were hampered by weaker material than that being produced contemporaneously by other Philadelphia soul groups such as Blue Magic and The Stylistics. Four singles were released with moderate success. The group in its original form would split up soon after the release of Alive & Kicking.
