Gloria Gaynor is an American singer, best known for the disco era hits “I Will Survive” (1978), “Let Me Know (I Have a Right)” (1979), “I Am What I Am” (1983), and her version of “Never Can Say Goodbye” (1974).

Gaynor was a singer with the Soul Satisfiers, a jazz and R&B music band, in the 1960s. She recorded “She’ll Be Sorry/Let Me Go Baby” (for the first time as Gloria Gaynor) in 1965, for Johnny Nash’s “Jocida” label. Her first real success came in 1973 when she was signed to Columbia Records by Clive Davis. The fruit of that was the release of the flop single “Honey Bee”.

In 2021, Gaynor returned to disco music when she recorded “Can’t Stop Writing Songs About You” with Australian singer Kylie Minogue for the reissue of Minogue’s fifteenth studio album Disco entitled Disco: Guest List Edition.

In April 2021, Gaynor recorded “Brand New” with the veteran Contemporary Christian band MercyMe.
