The Legend Continues...

GLORIA GAYNOR

Her name is recognized worldwide. Her voice a dynamic force. Her Grammy Award winning signature song, I Will Survive, is an inspiration that has touched the hearts of people all over the world.

Whatever Gloria Gaynor sets out to accomplish you can be sure that it will have a positive transformation in the art of music and life as everything she touches is with her deep spirit.

Gloria's Story... A Moving Testament to Survival

The life of Gloria Gaynor has hit some amazing peaks, and some difficult valleys.

But it is a life story that is still being written.

Gloria today is as active as ever - performing live concerts, appearing on national TV, releasing new CDs - and she's more positive than ever.

Whatever Gloria sets out to do, you can be sure it will reflect the same deep spirit and transformative ability as the music and life within her.

She is still very much a survivor.

She was 19 when she signed her first record contract. In 1973, Gloria made history as Billboard gave birth to the Disco Action Charts. "Never Can Say Good-Bye" bowed at #1 on the charts and became the first Dance Song to reach #1 status in dance music. Ever since that time, for more than 30 years, Gloria keeps setting the standard. In March of 2001, her single,

"Just Keep Thinkin About You," topped the Billboard Dance/Club charts at #1, while her international hit "Last Night" with Giorgio Moroder debuted at #1 throughout Europe.

In keeping with the theme of #1, Gloria Gaynor was the first to record an album especially for clubs, and the first to do a mega-extended dance medley party mix, releasing 12" dance singles that are now high-end collectors items.

In September 2002, Logic Records/BMG released the highly anticipated U.S. LP entitled "I Wish You Love." That was her first worldwide release in 15 years. It gave birth to 4 #1 dance singles on Billboards Dance Charts as well as her first top ten, "I Never Knew", on Billboard's Adult Contemporary Charts. She also recorded a new version of "I Will Survive" in Spanglish, recorded live in Brazil.

Her popularity has continuously flourished into the new millennium. In 2002, she was honored at the World Music Awards in Monte Carlo with the coveted LEGEND award presented by long time fan Prince Albert. She made a splash on Broadway in the longest running musical revue, "Smokey Joes Caf�", and on national TV, as a guest star on such popular programs as "That 70's Show" , "Ally McBeal" and more, introducing her to a whole new generation of fans.

The film industry continues to feature "I Will Survive," on the soundtrack of more than a half dozen major motion picture releases. VH-1 honored Gloria Gaynor with the number one spot during their countdown of the Top 100 Dance Records of All Time for "I Will Survive".

On September 19, 2005 Gloria, along with her Hit song "I Will Survive" were inducted into the Dance Music Hall of Fame during a ceremony that took place in New York City.

Gloria even found time to write an autobiography entitled, "I Will Survive" (St. Martins Press) that is a revealing trip through her journey in life.

She also lends her support to numerous charities, ranging from the likes of The Rita Hayworth Gala for Alzheimers, & Revlons Annual Walk for Life.

Gloria's Messages of Encouragement and Inspiration

Without faith, inspiration and encouragement, "I Will Survive" is little more than an empty catch phrase.

Now, I can't claim to have all the answers to everybody's questions. But a seed has been planted in my life; it inspires me every day. I have survived with the nourishment of caring people who have encouraged me over the years.

I believe I've learned a few things that can make each individual's world better, and I would love to share some inspiration with you:

Love

To Love is to do something at one's own expense for the benefit of someone else. This is how we can love our neighbor, this is how we can love everyone.

Love is benefiting or gratifying the needs or righteous desires of others, at the expense of self. Therefore, we can love anyone and everyone to the extent that we know their needs and righteous desires.

By Signing This Petition we are telling you that we will NOT stop until she receives the award she rightly deserves.

YOUR FANS LOVE YOU GLORIA

Gloria Gaynor - I Will Survive lyrics

At first I was afraid I was petrified

Kept thinkin' I could never live without you by my side;

But then I spent so many nights

Thinkin' how you did me wrong

And I grew strong

And so you're back from outer space

I just walked in to find you here with that sad look upon your face

I should have changed that stupid lock

I should have made you leave your key

If I'd've known for just one second you'd back to bother me

Go on now, go walk out the door

Just turn around now

('cause) you're not welcome anymore

Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye

Did I crumble

Did you think I'd lay down and die?

Oh no, not.I. I will survive

Oh as long as I know how to love I know I'll stay alive;

I've got all my life to live,

I've got all my love to give and I'll survive,

I will survive. Hey hey.

It took all the strength I had not to fall apart

Kept trying' hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart,

And I spent oh so many nights

Just feeling sorry for myself. I used to cry

But now I hold my head up high

And you see me somebody new

I'm not that chained up little person still in love with you,

And so you feel like droppin' in

And just expect me to be free,

Now I'm savin' all my lovin' for someone who's lovin' me

Go on now.. etc.

Gloria Gaynor' songs are a TREASURE for everyone now and forever, her voice is the soundtrack of our life! She deserves the Grammy Foundation's LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD!!!

Your voice is the soundrack of lot of people, we wake up with you, we drive with you, we cry with you, we laugh with you, I think that you have to be proud of your music, the whole world is listening to your voice, and it's time to recognize it, no one deserves this Lifetime Achivement Award like you! la tua voce ha portato ovunque le tue splendide parole, le tue canzoni fanno spesso da colonna sonora ai momenti pi� significanti della nostra vita, quando siamo con amici, quando siamo in viaggio, o quando siamo soli e abbiamo bisogno di cantare a squarciagola! la musica pu� dare forti emozioni, ma le tue canzoni sono un riferimento, sono parole che vuoi sentire quando sei triste, felice, agitato, tranquillo... � bello poter sentire la tua voce forte scandire le parole, che arrivano dritto al cuore, ringrazio di essere nata in questa epoca, e di aver potuto conoscere la tua musica. Nessuno pi� di te merita questo premio, ne sono sicura.

Gloria has earned a great achievement, With one of the all time best songs in the world, 'I Will Servive'. it tells a great story of how a broken hearted woman keeps holding her head up high. i could listen to the song a million times and still enjoy it just as much as the first time.

I feel that you out of all people really deserve this award, as i think youve done really well, and really have a great lifetime achievement.

Il est plus que normal que Mme Gloria Gaynor re�oive cet award. Non seulement pour son oeuvre musicale, mais �galement pour le bien qu'I will survive a pu apporter � des milliers de personnes. Pour ma part, C'EST MA CHANSON, que j'ai aim� depuis le 1er jour, �a fait 30 ans. Cette chanson c'est aussi une vraie th�rapie, tout le monde devrait la chanter, surtout quand il faut surmonter un coup dur de la vie. Merci Gloria. Bien � vous, Jean-Claude

Ch�re Gloria, Je voulais vous remercier d'exister. Depuis le 1er jour o� j'ai entendu votre voix, Reach out I'll be there, Casanova Brown, Most of all, etc...je suis devenu fan et lorsque est sorti I will survive, l� j'ai �t� compl�tement conquis. Cela fait 30 ans maintenant que je suis votre carri�re de loin, car depuis la Suisse ce n'est pas �vident. Peut �tre qu'un jour viendrez-vous visiter notre beau pays et nous offrir un concert ? Cet award vous le m�ritez plus que n'importe qui, car qui apr�s plus de 30 ans de carri�re a autant de charisme que vous et de qui parle-t-on encore apr�s 30 ans ? Pas grand monde. Alors je serre tr�s fort les pouces, bonne chance et continuez encore � nous faire r�ver. J'esp�re vivement qu'un jour, vous sortirez toute votre oeuvre musicale sur CD, car il est vrai que les vynils vieillissent moins bien que nous et il serait tellement agr�able de pouvoir r�entendre vos premi�re chansons."Flashback" Bien � vous Jean-Claude
