Gloria Gaynor, “I Will Survive” (1978)
This song reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1979 and quickly became a disco anthem. Unlike other disco hits of the time, Gloria Gaynor’s recording was not heavily produced (i.e., no addition of back-up vocals, no adjustments in pitch and tempo, no overdubs, etc.).
Optional: Prepare to improvise on the descending fifths sequence using the back-up track provided below.
