Gloria Gaynor is the elegant soul diva of disco! Her vocals have brought many dancers and music lovers to the heavens with her lovely and smooth approach. Gloria's first project, "Never Can Say Goodbye" on MGM Records was an instant hit on dance floors and was the first disco record to offer a non-stop medley of dance covers - assembled by the legendary, Tom Moulton.
Her fifth album during the big disco boom in 1978, "Love Tracks" contained a single which was assumed as the big hit of the project - "Substitute". It is said that "I Will Survive" was placed as a B-side for the single but became the classic anthem standing on its own and even today being the most requested and played disco track ever.
I have taken the 12" version of "Substitute" and have given it a ReStructure Mix to bring that wonderful pop-disco sound with a 50s flavor. Produced by Dino Fekaris and Freddie Perren this classic album is a mature sound for a disco performer who worked so immensely at her growing style.
