Gloria Gaynor

Gaynor is, simply, the voice of survival. I Will Survive sold over fifteen million copies and transcended disco to become a universal anthem of resilience, and that alone secures her place in music history. But I Am What I Am cemented her as a singer whose work consistently affirms and uplifts. What moves me is the longevity, more than fifty years on stage, and her 2017 New Jersey Hall of Fame induction only confirms what audiences already knew. Some artists entertain; Gaynor genuinely helps people endure. I hold her in the highest regard for giving the world a song that refuses to quit.
