This is an IHeart podcast.

Hey there, folks. It is Thursday, August 14th. She is an icon, and she wrote one of the most

iconic, most important songs that we have ever heard, and she deserves a Kennedy Center honor.

So why are some people suggesting that she not do it, telling her she shouldn't do it,

and even given her all kinds of hell for daring to accept an honor she so greatly deserves?

Welcome to Amy and T. We of course, we're

just talking about Gloria Gaynor. President Trump made the announcement of the Kenny

Center honors recipients. She was among them and she stood out to certain people, I guess,

for certain reasons. That's right. Her iconic song, I Will Survive, is an anthem for so many women out there, and certainly has been one for me. I have, I know every word to the song as I think most women do, but it's also become an anthem for the LGBTQ plus community, especially in the 80s during the AIDS epidemic, a lot of that community took that

song personally and took it as their own as a part of their identity. This song means a lot to a lot

of people. Yeah. And she was, this woman is iconic. Yes, she was a disco queen, of course,

in the 70s and 80s, had several hits.

But she's won robes, and it made me think of our girl, fight song.

Oh, yeah, Rachel Platton.

Rachel Platton has a bunch of great songs, a bunch of great hits.

But anytime you see her, there are certain people.

Anytime you see them, they have songs that are events.

And you can't wait for that thing.

And this is the one she will always and forever be attached to, no matter how, seven Grammy

nominations, two Grammys.

No matter what she did her, I think 50-something albums, it goes on and on.

You say Glory Gainer, that's one thing you're going to think of, and that's okay.
