One of the most famous music icons in the world, disco diva and author of one the most popular songs of all time, ‘I Will Survive’ (VIDEO), Gloria Gaynor will be a special guest at the best European festival!
After almost 40 years, 20 albums, a large number of hits and superfluous music awards, millions and millions of radio plays, performances on the most important international events, the legendary Gloria Gaynor is coming to hold a historic music lesson with her incredible voice and her sheer powerful presence at EXIT Main Stage!
Her glory is so huge that Grammys created special category “Best Disco Record” in her honour and she is the only person who has received it in the history of this hallowed award!
After an amazing and now famous performance of the disco king Nille Rodgers as part of the previous EXIT festival, EXIT sets the bar even higher introducing the greatest hits of the monumental disco queen, ‘Never Can Say Goodbye’, ‘Let Me Know (I Have A Right)’, ‘I Am What I Am’, including the most famous rendition of the song ‘Can’t Take My Eyes Off You’.
The superfluous, rich vocal of the popular singer dominated the world music scene for almost forty years, since 1975 when Gloria made history when Billboard gave birth to the ‘Disco Action Charts.’ Gaynor’s version of “Never Can Say Good-Bye” became the first Dance Song to reach #1 status in dance music.
Her gargantuan hit ‘I Will Survive’, after 35 years still counts as one of the greatest songs of all time and the unofficial soul anthem of every women’s emancipation movement. The song “I Will Survive” climbed to the top of Billboard’s Pop Charts and claimed the #1 position on two different occasions and was covered over 200 times. In September 2005 Gloria and her hit song “I Will Survive” were inducted into the Dance Music Hall of Fame, and VH-1 honored this unparalleled artist with the number one spot on their countdown of the Top 100 Dance Records of All Time. Two years ago “I Will Survive was one of only 25 songs to have been inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame!
“I Am What I Am” made Gaynor a gay icon and helped define her as a definite pop-culture phenomenon. During the late 1990s, she dabbled in acting for a while, guest starring in famous shows likeThe Wayans Bros, That ’70s Show, and Ally McBeal before doing a limited engagement performance where she additionally showed the extent of her talent and opulent voice in Broadway’s Smokey Joe’s Cafe.
The Main Stage is about to show its most glamorous edition yet, and the Queen will take over the Fortress with her almost magical voice. To all true fans of music this is a unique opportunity that can’t be missed!
