Lisa Hunt sings 'I Will Survive' by Gloria Gaynor at the Italian Festival

Lisa Hunt "I Will Survive" is a song first performed by Gloria Gaynor, released in October 1978. It was written by Freddie Perren and Dino Fekaris. Produced by Alessandro Sorbello http://www.AlessandroSorbello.com for New Realm Media as part of Italian Week http://italianweek.com.au an initiative of the Consulate of Italy in Australia and part of Italian Fashion Week http://italianfashionweek.blogspot.com

In 1973, Gloria made history as Billboard gave birth to the Disco Action Charts. "Never Can Say Good-Bye" bowed at #1 on the charts and became the first Dance Song to reach #1 status in dance music. Ever since that time, for more than 30 years, Gloria keeps setting the standard. In March of 2001, her single, "Just Keep Thinkin About You," topped the Billboard Dance/Club charts at #1, while her international hit "Last Night" with Giorgio Moroder debuted at #1 throughout Europe. In keeping with the theme of #1, Gloria Gaynor was the first to record an album especially for clubs, and the first to do a mega-extended dance medley party mix, releasing 12" dance singles that are now high-end collectors items.
