Gloria Gaynor - Songs

ABOUT

Gloria Gaynor (b. 1943) is a highly acclaimed and veteran R&B/soul/disco singer with powerful vocals who became famous during the mid and late 1970s at the height of the disco era. Best known for the defiant and Grammy-winning "I Will Survive" (1978), which topped the Pop/Rock charts and made the R&B Top 5, other big hits include "Let Me Know (I Have A Right)" (1979), "I Am What I Am" (1983), and her disco remake of The Jackson 5's "Never Can Say Goodbye" (1974).

Born Gloria Fowles in Newark, New Jersey, she began in the 1960s as a member of the jazz/R&B band, The Soul Satisfiers, before launching her solo career in the early 1970s. After her peak in commercial fame in the late 1970s, Gaynor's career was later revitalized with the worldwide disco revival movement that began in the early 1990s. She has continued to perform and record actively over the years, and more recently, has branched out to gospel music with her Grammy-winning 2020 roots gospel album, "Testimony."

Gloria Gaynor's signature song, "I Will Survive," is included in Rolling Stone's list of "The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time" and Billboard magazine's "All-Time Hot 100." This disco classic was also selected for induction into the Library of Congress' National Recording Registry in 2016.
