Robin’s film captures the rise of the ‘Queen of Disco’ to fame
Gaynor is the “Queen of Disco” due to her hits, including the iconic I Will Survive. In Robin Roberts Presents: I Will Survive: The Gloria Gaynor Story, viewers learn the story of her humble beginnings and rise to fame. The movie features many of Gaynor’s popular songs.
Last month, the singer appeared on Good Morning America for a sit-down interview about the upcoming premiere with Robin.
“I’m so excited that this will be February 8th. People will finally be able to see this film,” she told Gaynor.
