Gloria Gaynor (born Gloria Fowles September 7, 1949) is an American singer, best-known for the disco era hits “I Will Survive” (Hot 100 #1, 1979), “Never Can Say Goodbye” (Hot 100 #9, 1974), “Let Me Know (I Have A Right)” (Hot 100 #42, 1980) and “I Am What I Am” (Hot 100 #82, 1983). She was born in Newark, New Jersey.
Early career
Gaynor was a singer with the Soul Satisfiers, a jazz/pop band, in the 1960s. Her first solo single was “She’ll Be Sorry/Let Me Go Baby” (1965).
Her first real success came in 1975 with the release of her album Never Can Say Goodbye, which established her as a disco artist. The first side of this album consisted of three disco songs (“Honey Bee”, “Never Can Say Goodbye” and “Reach Out, I’ll Be There”), with no breaks in between the songs. This 19-minute dance marathon proved to be enormously popular, especially at dance clubs. 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. So, in that sense, she was the first. 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.

So the thumpa-thumpa continues. It always will, no matter what happens, no matter who's President. As Our Lady of Disco, the Divine Miss Gloria Gaynor, has always sung to us, "We will survive."

If radio (R&B, Pop and Dance) would keep other hit singles in recurrent airplay, one would know more of her songs. They are quite good. Some them are much better than her most commerically successful songs.
