At first I was afraid, I was petrified!

Possibly one of the most well know (and most overplayed) dance tracks, but that shouldn't detract from it's brilliance as it is truly a PCC.

Especially as it is is almost 50 years old and was originally released in 1978.

This is a great remix by Phil Kelsey from 1993 who pays great respect to the original vibe of the track, but just it that extra bit of dancefloor punch.

It's still a favourite track of mine and one I always enjoy hearing.

As soon as you hear "At first I was afraid, I was petrified", you're in heaven!

Gloria Gaynor - I Will Survive 

(Phil Kelsey Classic 12" Mix)

One life, there's no return, no deposit!!!

An all time classic from Gloria.
I remember Sasha playing this out, back in the day.
The vocal, the lyrics, the song - just superb.
I love the ending of the track as well.
Just a really good feel good classic!
Hard to believe it's nearly 30 years old!!
Awesome!!

Gloria Gaynor - I Am What I Am

Fancy something a little bit special????

I've made it no secret on the blog of my liking of all things Brothers in Rhythm remixed and thankfully the poll results also reflected a very strong desire to have more BiR remixes posted.

Well this isn't officially a BiR remix, but it is the next best thing - another fantastic remix by the legend that is Mr Steve Anderson.

If you liked the Xanadu post that I put up then you'll love this, as elements are very similar.

Whack on a fantastic vocal performance by Gloria "I Will Survive" Gaynor and you get an absolute club classic.

Give it a couple of listens as it's more of a grower, but it's high quality all the same, with the usual outstanding BiR production.

Get on it!!!

Enjoy!!
