About Gloria Gaynor in brief
Gloria Gaynor was born Gloria Fowles in Newark, New Jersey. She is best known for the disco era hits \”I Will Survive\”, \”Never Can Say Goodbye\”, and \”I Am What I Am\” Gaynor’s first real success came in 1973 when she was signed to Columbia Records by Clive Davis. She has recorded 16 albums, including one in England, one in Italy, and two in the US. The song has become something of an anthem of female emancipation, originally written from the point of view of a woman recently dumped by her lover, telling her that she can cope without him and does not want anything more to do with him. The lyrics of this song are written from a woman’s view of what it would be like to be dumped by a man, and how she would feel if she had to do it all over again. Gaynor has had some international chart success, including a cover of ‘How High the Moon’, which topped the US Dance Charts and made the lower parts of both the pop and R&B charts, as well as the Hot 100 and Hot Bop Charts. In the next few years, Gaynor released the albums Glorious and Gloria Gaynor, but would only enjoy a few more moderate hits, with her hit single ‘I Will Love You’ reaching the Top 5 in Australia, Canada, Germany and the UK.
She also had a hit in the UK with ‘I’ve Got A Girl’ which made it into the Top 10 in Australia and Canada, and the Top 20 in Germany. She died in a car accident in 2009.
