Its status as one of the best LGBTQ+ Pride songs is tinged with sadness - arguably a last stand against the backlash of homophobia that would secure discos first demise and add so much extra suffering to the HIV/AIDS epidemic, then just around the corner. This transatlantic chart-topper would overwhelm Gaynors career but, as defining moments go, its in a class of its own. "I Will Survive" is a song by American singer Gloria Gaynor, released in October 1978 as the second single from her sixth album, Love Tracks (1978). It was written by Freddie Perren and Dino Fekaris. A top-selling song, it is a popular disco anthem, as well as being certified Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Originally released as the B-side to a cover version of the Righteous Brothers song Substitute, I Will Survive became a worldwide hit for Gaynor when disc jockeys played that side of the record instead. New copies of the record were eventually pressed with I Will Survive as the A-side (Substitute itself peaked at number 7 on the Billboard Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles chart, equaling to number 107 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart). As a disco number, the song was unique for its time by virtue of Gaynors having no background singers. And, unlike her first disco hits, the track was not pitched up to make it faster and to render Gaynors recorded voice in a higher register than that in which she actually sang. Most disco hits at the time were heavily produced, with multiple voices, overdubs, and adjustments to pitch and speed. I Will Survive had a much more spare and clean sound. Had it been originally planned and released as an A-side, it would almost certainly have undergone a substantially more heavy-handed remix. The song received the first-ever Grammy Award for Best Disco Recording in 1980, the only year the award was given. It is ranked #492 on Rolling Stone magazines list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time, and ranked at #97 on Billboard magazines All-Time Hot 100. In 2000, the song was ranked #1 in VH1s list of the 100 greatest dance songs.[/color][/center] [center][color=#800000]RELEASE INFORMATION: Label: Polydor - PD D 512 Format: Vinyl, 12", 33 ⅓ RPM, Promo, 56 Country: US Released: 1979 Genre: Funk / Soul Style: Disco[/color][/center] [center][color=#000080]SIDE A: I Will Survive 8:02 SIDE B: Yo Vivire (Spanish Version) 7:52 [/color][/center]
