Let the H*O*N*E*Y--- B*E*E Sting>>YOU!


Striking the right balance between the lush sound of disco and the driving beat of funk and soul, the tracks on both CDs unfold and give the listener just a hint of those days when night time adventures on the dance floor was magic. Gloria Gaynor's I WILL SURVIVE: THE ANTHOLOGY is a two-CD disco wonderland.

Of course, the wildly popular "I Will Survive" starts off this set and then we get to two songs that have always been my favorites from Gaynor "Honey Bee" and "Never Can Say Goodbye," a remake of the Jackson Five song.

All songs are remastered and sound great. I even like the disco remakes of Marvin Gaye and Tami Terrell's duet "You're All I Need To Get By" and Dionne Warwick's "Walk On By" because Gloria Gaynor is able to reinvent the song without taking away nor competing with the original. The same goes for the Jackson Five's "Never Can. . . "

And the price is right. The anthology also comes with a small booklet that includes liner notes by Brian Chin, pictures of the album covers, and song info that includes chart position.

Perfect for the disco fans out there who "never can say goodbye" to that wonderful music!.


Disco Diva For The Ages
She wasn't as big, or as important a star as Donna Summer, and some would call her a one-hit wonder. Gloria Gaynor was undoubtedly a creature of 1970's disco, and many would agree, a creation of her producers. But she was there, she survives, as does her work, and this 2-disc CD album is a great way to get it for her most devoted fans; it gives us more of her hits, and her covers of similar material, although it unaccountably skips some of her most popular things.

However, the album's got a great, intensely danceable 8-minute track of her signature song, "I Will Survive," and that should be reason enough for some fans to buy it. That song surely is great dancing; and is an anthem as well, and that not just for women. I recall once having seen a segment on the mid-East country Lebanon, at war with itself, on CBS's "60 Minutes. " That segment included a night club scene: Gloria Gaynor there, singing in person, and her beleaguered fans, male and female, dancing their hearts out. And who can forget Kevin Kline's joyous dance to this song in the movie "In and Out?" I was once lucky enough to catch her in person myself, under the stars, one muggy summer evening at New York's World Financial Center, that used to lie alongside the World Trade Center. Seemed like half New York was there, and they set up a syncopated call-and-answer: "Go Gloria, Go Gloria. " Touching, unforgettable? You bet. In fact, it leads me to believe that any female, between the ages of fifteen and sixty-five, in the English-speaking world, at least, who claims to be unfamiliar with singer and song is not to be trusted on any other matter, either.


Good Buy!
The 80-minute "I Will Survive" really surprises me most. It's great having this CD which contains some of Miss Gaynor's nice disco tunes. Worth buying for. .


Excellent
However, this Greatest Hits cd is the best! All original, full length songs. I bought this with some reserve only because I have bought other Gloria Gaynor Greatest Hits only to be dissapointed to the songs not being original or different version's of the songs. . . a real "party" cd! I am so happy and very pleased with this cd that my other Gloria Gaynor cd's that I have, I have sold, this cd replaced all of them!.


never can get enough!!
Having grown up with this music,I must say that if you are a disco fan,you need this cd in your collection!!Most,if not all of the songs are sure to bring back all those nights dancing with your girlfriend into the late late night!!How high the moon. Truly,one of the best artist from the disco era,you will enjoy and treasure this cd from the queen of disco. brings back a certain night with my girl. never can say goodbye,the day Rhonda left. You will enjoy this cd and listen to it for years to come. Dance,dance,dance baby!!!!!

Will.
