Summary

Gloria Gaynor steps Behind The Rope. The Godmother of Disco is here to chat about how she is still surviving, no pun intended, almost five decades, two Grammys and many many accolades later in a business that is not for the faint of heart. Gloria chats how a little song originally slated as a B side, “I Will Survive”, became THE go anthem of empowerment for men and women worldwide, an anthem that is still one of the most sung, downloaded and beloved songs of all times. Gloria chats about the highs and lows of the music business, working with Kylie Minogue last year on her album “Disco” and who of the current day reigning Divas she thinks is most well equipped to keep the legend of Disco going. Did someone say Beyonce, Rihanna and Gaga? Finally, fresh off her Masked Singer elimination, Gloria discusses what the experience was like to don the Mermaid costume each week on Fox’s top rated guilty pleasure. @gloriagaynor @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: HIGHLAND TITLES - www.highlandtitles.com (Use Code VELVET for 15% Off Entire Site.
