| The Power of Gloria Gaynor (Photo credit: Wikipedia) |
"I Will Survive" is the story of America's "
Queen of Disco." It is
the story of riches and fame, despair, and finally salvation. Her
meteoric rise to stardom in the mid-1970s was nothing short of
phenomenal, and hits poured forth that pushed her to the top of the
charts, including "
Honey Bee," "I Got You Under My Skin," "
Never Can Say
Goodbye," and the song that has immortalized her, "I Will Survive,"
which became a #1 international gold seller. With that song, Gloria
heralded the international rise of disco that became synonymous with a
way of life in the fast lane - the sweaty bodies at
Studio 54, the lines
of cocaine, the indescribable feeling that you could always be at the
top of your game and never come down. But down she came after her early
stardom, and problems followed in the wake, including the death of her
mother, whose love had anchored the young singer, as well as constant
battles with weight, drugs, and alcohol. While her fans always imagined
her to be rich, her personal finances collapsed due to poor management;
and while many envied her, she felt completely empty inside. In the
early 1980s, sustained by her marriage to music publisher Linwood Simon,
Gloria took three years off and reflected upon her life. She visited
churches and revisited her mother's old
Bible. Discovering the world of
gospel, she made a commitment to
Christ that sustains her to this day.
