Gloria Gaynor biography, Gloria Gaynor discography
All three songs were released as singles via radio edits, and all of them became hits.This album was so instrumental in introducing disco music to the public, that many later believed that Gloria Gaynor had been the first artist to record disco music."Never Can Say Goodbye" became the first song to top Billboard magazine's dance chart.Capitalizing on the success of her first album, Gloria Gaynor quickly released her second album Experience Gloria Gaynor later that same year.While this album was also successful, it was not quite as popular as her previous album in the mainstream.After her 1976 album, I've Got You, Gaynor shifted from her hit production team, to work with other productions.While it seemed like a good move, her subsequent producers did not seem to match Gaynor's vocal approach and style as well.This caused her the albums that followed such as 1977's Glorious and 1978's Park Avenue Sound to be regarded as merely good albums instead of excellent albums.Major mainstream breakthrough
For the next few years, Gloria Gaynor would only enjoy a few moderate hits.However, in late 1978, with the release of her album Love Tracks, she climbed the pop charts again because of her song "I Will Survive".Polydor Records released it in late 1978.In late 1979, she released the album I Have A Right which contained her next disco hit, "Let Me Know (I Have The Right)", which featured Doc Severinsen of The Tonight Show fame, on trumpet solo.Gaynor herself always denied that the song had anything to do with abusive relationships but that it was really written to celebrate overcoming a paralysing back condition.The use of the song was however ironic.The neutrality of this section is disputed.In 1980 and again in 1981, Gaynor released two excellent disco albums which were virtually ignored in the US due to the backlash against disco, which began late in 1979.In 1982, she became a Christian and began to distance herself from a past she considered to be sinful.The album contained a patriotic song called "America" as well as a new version of "I Will Survive".In this new version of "I Will Survive", she changed the lyrics of the song in order to advertise her new conversion to Christianity.The album was not a success in the Pop, Dance or Urban markets.This move proved to be a turn off to all other than her hardcore fans.Gaynor would achieve her final success in the '80s with the release of her album I Am Gloria Gaynor in 1984.She mainly made her living outside of the US where there was never any disco backlash.Her 1986 album was both critical and commercial failure.She returned to the recording studio in 2002, releasing her first album in 20 years, entitled, I Wish You Love.On September 19, 2005, Gaynor was honored twice when she and her music were inducted into the Dance Music Hall of Fame.The album includes her popular club hit, "Oh, What A Life."Christian in 1982, she has persistently revealed in interviews that she believes that she has a new role to play in spreading Christianity.The book is filled up mostly with her religious convictions and her regrets about the sinful life she led during her disco days in the 1970's.In the book Gaynor claims to have regular conversations with God, "in which the Almighty is an active participant."On 13 July 2007, Gaynor was interviewed by BBC Radio 4's Woman's Hour.The singer talked about her youth, her career, about some of her most famous songs, several of which have become gay anthems.She also talked about her becoming a born again Christian.Finally the interviewer asked her about her status as a gay icon.She said she was really pleased with this and that saw it as an opportunity to lead her fans towards Christ.Gaynor each time refused to answer the question directly.She only said that she is leading her fans to Christ and what he has to offer to them.The interview is available to listen to here.Try the New YouTube Player Beta!Thank you for sharing this video!This video has been added to your favorites.The video has been added to your playlist.Please login to add to your playlists.Please login to add to flag a video.Change this to see only comments above a certain value.Change the value of a comment by clicking on a thumb.Would you like to comment?No Place Like Home (1957) TV episode ....Episode dated 10 April 2008 (2008) TV episode ....Music (2007) TV episode ....The Bee Gees: Stayin' Alive (2007) (V) ....Performer Disco: Spinning the Story (2005) (V) ....Episode dated 15 September 2004 (2004) TV episode ....Episode dated 12 April 2003 (2003) TV episode ....HerselfAmerican Soundtrack: Rhythm, Love and Soul (2003) (TV) ....HerselfMichael Jackson: 30th Anniversary Celebration (2001) (TV) ....Herself 100 Greatest Number One Singles (2001) (TV) ....Studio 54 (1998) TV episode ....Gloria Gaynor (1998) TV episode ....Pops' Last Hurrah (1997) TV episode ....HerselfA '70s Celebration: The Beat Is Back (1993) (TV) ....Episode dated 19 January 1984 (1984) TV episode ....Gino Vannelli (1979) TV episode ....With our Resume service you can add photos and build a complete resume to help you achieve the best possible presentation on the IMDb.Terms and Privacy Policy under which this service is provided to you.IMDb is powered by Perl and we are hiring!Gloria Gaynor for your corporate event, private party, fundraiser, college, fair or festival.Submit an Entertainment Request Form and an agent will reply within 24 hours.Turn the clocks ahead three decades to 2001, when Gloria Gaynor triumphantly

Bible regularly.But she did not really pause to consider who Jesus was.She and husband Linwood started going to wild parties, and got into marijuana and cocaine.She felt guilty and was ashamed to go to church, or even pray to the God she thought she had known since a child.After three years going downward, she began to stay home more, and look into who Jesus really was.It says, 'For behold a virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, and shall call His name Emmanuel.Emmanuel means 'God with us' and refers to Jesus!Slowly, Gloria was changed by her new faith.God miraculously took away her desire for alcohol, cigarettes and marijuana.Now that I've come back, I let them know
why I'd dropped out, and that I'm back knowing that God wants me to bring a message to them.Gloria's new life and faith have meant that she has had to make sacrifices.All lyrics are the property and copyright of their respective rights holders.
