Book
Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Paperback Edition. Gloria Gaynor's 1974 hit 'Never Can Say Goodbye' started the disco boom of the seventies. Five year later, 'I Will Survive' topped the charts on both sides of the Atlantic and established the singer as a living pop legend. Gloria was one of seven children in a musical family. Her father was a Vaudeville entertainer and, from the age of eight, she knew she too wanted to be a singer. Spotted performing in a Newark nightclub, she was seventeen when she signed to Columbia Records. Her meteoric rise to stardom brought problems in its wake. Her mother had died in 1970 and, without the love and influence that she always provided, Gloria squandered her new-found wealth on a 'rock 'n roll' lifestyle of all-night parties, drink and drugs. Others envied her, but inside she felt empty. In the early eighties, sustained by her marriage to music publisher Linwood Simon, Gloria took three years out and reflected upon her life. She visited churches and studied her mother's old Bible. As a result she made a commitment to Christ which sustains her to this day. This book is the autobiography of the 'queen of disco'. It is a thrilling story of life at the top in showbusiness and the profound and permanent change in one person's spiritual life. Illustrated with B/W photos. Previous owners name and address sticker to inside cover.
