Gaynor, who has released 20 albums, began her professional singing career in the 1960s (in The Soul Satisfiers) before being signed by Clive Davis in 1973.

Her first Billboard charting song was “Never Can Say Goodbye,” and her hit tracks also include “Let Me Know (I Have a Right),” and the timeless classic “I Will Survive.” The single was released as a B-side recording in 1978. It would later win Gaynor a Grammy and become her signature song and an anthem for empowerment.

In 1978, Gloria suffered a traumatic spine injury when she fell backward over a monitor and was paralyzed from the waist down. EUR’s Ny MaGee spoke with Ms. Gaynor about her bounceback journey and her foray into acting with her latest project, “The Thursday Nigth Club.” Check out what she had to say in the exclusive clip below.
