“I Will Survive” has become an anthem for female empowerment, gay rights, survivors of domestic abuse, and oppressed people everywhere. But Gloria Gaynor, who is about to turn 80, never tires of singing it.
“I drew this house when I was about forty,” the singer Gloria Gaynor said the other day. “This was my dream house.” She was giving a tour of her new place in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey. She gestured toward a marble foyer and a glittering chandelier, and mentioned her “party basement,” which has a bar and a screening room. “When I drew it, it was for a couple. Because I expected to be married forever,” she went on.
She divorced Simon in 2005, and in 2019, after years of fantasizing, she released a gospel album, “Testimony,” which won a Grammy and kicked off a comeback. “I love cooking and having people for dinner,” she said, entering her shiny, bright kitchen. “I love that I have two trash cans.” A sign over the sink read “Don’t make me come down there. —God.
Polydor gave the recording to the d.j. at Studio 54. “The audience jammed the dance floor immediately,” Gaynor said. “I thought, A jaded New York audience falling for a song the first time they hear it? ” Polydor flipped the songs and made “I Will Survive” the A-side.
