Gaynor, Gloria Albums for song lyrics and biography.

Gloria Gaynor, born Gloria Fowles, is a singer best-known for the disco hit songs I Will Survive and Never Can Say Goodbye. 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.

The lyrics of I Will Survive are written from the point of view of a woman, recently dumped, telling her ex-lover that she can cope without him and doesn't want anything more to do with him. The song has become something of an anthem of female emancipation, and is still a staple of office parties and karaoke nights, not to mention an anthem in North American gay culture. In 1999, Pixar animator Victor Navone used this song to create an alien music video which for a time was a minor Internet phenomenon.

An interesting piece of trivia about I Will Survive is that it was originally the B-side when Polydor Records released it in 1979. The A-side, a song called Substitute, was considered to be more "radio friendly." Radio DJs flipped the record over and audience response forced the record company to flip the songs and subsequent copies of the single listed I Will Survive on the A-side. Never Can Say Goodbye was the first song to top Billboard magazine's dance chart. Gloria Gaynor also sang on lesser-known disco songs like Honey Bee, Casanova Brown, and I Am What I Am. She continued recording for many years, releasing Last Night in 2000, Just Keep Thinking About You in 2001, and I Never Knew in 2002.
