Customer Reviews Has the hits, butchers them... The unfortunate truth is that the producers of this album decided that they'd make these songs new again by adding some more 'punch,' which is what my best description for the techno beats underlaid these classic songs, adulterating their nostalgic charm. Yes, Gloria Gaynor will survive to enjoy many more years of fame, but her hits have barely survived their club-ification on this "millennium versions" compilation. Sure, now they're club-appropriate, but they're no longer disco. I feel the urge to go around to record stores and label these discs, "File under dance/techno. " Not recommended. Try to find the real versions of these songs, ones that have "survived" intact. Disco at its best She had at least two other minor hits: Anybody Wanna Party and Let Me Know (I Have A Right) available on The Collection, an album that omits the song I Am What I Am. This compilation represents real value for money as it contains all of the disco diva's greatest hits: How High The Moon, Never Can Say Goodbye, I Am What I Am, Reach Out I'll Be There and the megahit I Will Survive. The ageless I Will Survive needs no description, but I Am What I Am is an equally rousing, anthemic song that affirms self-esteem and belief in oneself. Gaynor puts lots of energy into the Motown classics Reach Out I'll Be There and Never Can Say Goodbye, turning them into dancefloor delights with her powerful voice over the boom boom boom of the disco beat. Although Gloria Gaynor didn't have as many hits as Donna Summer or the same underground cult appeal as Grace Jones, she remains one of the archetypical disco queens whose aforementioned hits have stood the test of time very well. I recommend this album if you want to have the absolute best of this remarkable singer from the 1970s. This is not a new product for friends of Gloria Total length about 42 minutes, if you have got the album before, no need to buy. This new album is not new production, it's has been released in Europe in 1992. I just return it back to record shop today. The production for this 'album' is not very good, for Club hits' fans, won't satisfy. . You can see a complete list of all Gloria Gaynor discography, or go back to the Gloria Gaynor tabs
