Gloria Gaynor is coming to Budapest
December 29 marks the day when the ‘Greatest Survivor’ of music history, disco queen Gloria Gaynor returns to Hungary to step on stage at the Papp László Budapest Sportaréna, performing her biggest hit ‘I Will Survive’, and more.
In 1979, “I Will Survive” climbed to the top of Billboard’s Pop Charts and claimed the Nr. 1 position on two different occasions. Little did Gloria Gaynor know, the song would grow into the banner for social survival which is still relevant after three decades of international airplay. The song itself has survived and has been re-recorded over 200 times by accomplished artists such as Gladys Knight, Chantay Moore, Diana Ross and Cake.

In 1975, 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 Nr. 1 status in dance music, in 1980, ‘I Will Survive’ won the Grammy for Best Disco Song and, in 1984, Gloria recorded ‘I Am What I Am’, which reached the Top 10 on Billboard’s Dance Disco Hits.
