‘I Will Survive’ – Gloria Gaynor
In 1979, Gaynor’s professional career was on the decline. Gaynor, who was 32 at the time, had recently lost her mother and had undergone spinal surgery, and Donna Summer had displaced her as the leading disco diva. When she sang “I Will Survive,” she added a dash of sass. The song was originally a B side, but after being played at discos by enterprising DJs, it became a smash hit.
