The famous American singer has gone down in history as an integral part of the golden legacy of disco. Gloria Gaynor's song "I will survive" not only topped the Billboard list, it became a true anthem of female emancipation. Although the legend has not been seen on stage for a long time, her work still delights and motivates young performers.

Gloria Gaynor recorded the main song in her career in 1978. While preparing to record a new album, she was asked to perform the famous hit Substitute in the UK at that time. Producer Freddie Perrin was invited to record, who agreed to work on the condition that Gloria would record his song for the back of the record. The author of the text, Dino Fekaris, forgot the sheet with the text that day and wrote it down from memory on some old envelope. After reading the lyrics, Gloria Gaynor realized that the song would become a real hit. That was "I will survive". Once in the hands of DJs, the song blew up the dance floors.
