1978 Gloria Gaynor – Love Tracks
Love Tracks is the sixth studio album by Gloria Gaynor, released in November 1978 on Polydor Records.
Love Tracks includes her million-selling #1 hit single “I Will Survive” which originally started out as the b-side to the album’s first single, a cover of Clout’s “Substitute” before it was flipped. (The 12″ single was quickly deleted and the 4:56 album version was replaced with the 8:01 12″ version in order to sell more albums).
The song “Anybody Wanna Party” also became a hit, becoming a top 20 hit on the club/dance chart, as well as peaking at #16 on the R&B chart.
The album was remastered and reissued with bonus tracks in 2013 by Big Break Records.
