Disco diva Gloria Gaynor is the larger than life singer behind "I Will Survive" ... the most successful B-side in the history of popular music. The lyrics are written from the point of view of a woman, recently dumped, telling her ex-lover that she can cope without him and wants nothing more to do with him. The song has become something of an anthem of female emancipation and gay community, and is a staple of weddings, parties and karaoke nights. Over 25 years after its release, Gaynor continues to ride the success, touring the world and performing her signature song on dozens of TV shows.

I am what I am - I am my own special creation.
So come take a look, give me the hook or the ovation.
Its my world
That I want to have a little pride in - my word,
And its not a place I have to hide in
Lifes not worth a damn, til you can say:
I am what I am
