Dear Dream

She retired from a promising rhythmic gymnastics career \\u2014 she was competing at a national level and was Olympics-bound \\u2014 about a year ago because of an injury. And retirement?

\\u201cInside the National Recording Registry: I Will Survive\\u201d 

by Devon Strolovitch for PRI\\u2019s Studio360 

Originally released as a B-side, so many deejays began playing Gloria Gaynor\'s \\u201cI Will Survive\\u201d that the record company reissued it as a single.

Music writer Vince Aletti joins Gaynor herself to tell the story of the recording.
