Gloria Gaynor
Gloria Gaynor (born September 7, 1949) is an American singer, best known for the disco era hits "I Will Survive" (Hot 100 number 1, 1979), "Never Can Say Goodbye" (Hot 100 number 9, 1974), "Let Me Know (I Have a Right)" (Hot 100 number 42, 1980) and "I Am What I Am" (R&B number 82, 1983).
Early life
Gloria Fowles was born in Newark, New Jersey, to Queenie May Proctor and Daniel Fowles. Her grandmother lived nearby and was involved in her upbringing. "There was always music in our house", Gaynor wrote in her autobiography, I Will Survive. She enjoyed listening to the radio, and to records by Nat King Cole and Sarah Vaughan. Her father played the ukulele and guitar and sang professionally in nightclubs with a group called Step 'n' Fetchit. Her brothers sang gospel and formed a quartet with a friend. Gaynor was not allowed to sing with the all-male group, nor was her younger brother, Arthur, because he was too young. Arthur later acted as a tour manager for Gaynor. The family was relatively poor, but Gaynor recalls the house being filled with laughter and happiness, and the dinner table being open to neighborhood friends. They moved to a housing project in 1960 and Gloria grew up as a tomboy. "All through my young life I wanted to sing, although nobody in my family knew it", Gaynor wrote in her autobiography.
Gloria Gaynor (album)
Gloria Gaynor is the tenth studio album by Gloria Gaynor and her only to be released on Atlantic Records after her contract with Polydor Records expired. The lead single release was a cover of The Supremes' "Stop in the Name of Love", followed by the singles "America" and "Tease Me". The album failed to garner much attention in either the U.S. or in Europe. It was re-released on CD in 1996 with a previously unreleased 1982 re-recording of "I Will Survive" added as track 1 (3:35) and a 5:03 Extended Mix as track 10. A 2014 CD reissue of the album on BBR Records did not include those two bonus cuts but included 3 single versions and one 12" disco version as bonus cuts.

The Collection (Divinyls album)
The Collection is the second compilation album by Australian band Divinyls, released on 19 January 1994. The album peaked at No. 17 on the Australian album charts and was in the charts for 13 weeks.
In late 1992 the Divinyls covered The Young Rascals song, "I Ain't Gonna Eat Out My Heart Anymore", for the soundtrack to the film Buffy the Vampire Slayer. It was subsequently issued as the lead single from The Collection, in November 1992. The single peaked at No. 19 on the Australian singles charts and spent sixteen weeks in the top fifty. The second single released, "Wild Thing", which was recorded for the soundtrack to the 1993 Australian comedy film, Reckless Kelly. The song reached No. 39 on the Australian singles charts. The third single, a cover of Roxy Music's "Love Is the Drug", was recorded for the soundtrack to Super Mario Bros.. The single failed to chart.

The Collection (Belinda Carlisle album)
The Collection is the third greatest hits album by American singer Belinda Carlisle, released in the UK on March 17, 2014 by Demon Music Group.
Background
"The Collection" followed a 2013 US budget compilation album entitled "Icon" and Carlisle's signing of her Virgin Records back catalogue to Demon Music Group. Though Carlisle had not recorded any new studio albums in English since the release of her last greatest hits A Place on Earth: The Greatest Hits, two recently recorded songs were included, the 2013 single "Sun" and a 2014 release "Goodbye Just Go". The album was released with a bonus DVD which included the videos of the songs on the album (excluding "Goodbye Just Go" which did not have a promotional video).
The album is notable in that it was the first greatest hits released by Carlisle to include singles from all six of her English speaking studio albums. Previous US greatest hits releases had only included singles from Carlisle's first four albums and previous UK greatest hits had omitted singles from her debut album which had been released by IRS Records. Whilst not owned by Demon Music Group at the time of release, the singles "Mad About You" (1986) and "In Too Deep" where licensed from their respective labels.

The Collection
by: Amy GrantLong time since I've seen Your smile
But when I close my eyes, I remember, I remember
You were no more than a child
But then so was I, young and tender
Time carries on
I guess it always will
But deep inside my heart
Time stands still
Stay for a while
Well, it's good to see Your smile
And I love your company
Stay for a while
And remember the day's gone by
For a moment it can seem
Just the way it used to be
Snowfalls, phone calls, broken hearts
Clear summer days, warm and lazy
Long walks, long talks after dark
We vowed we'd never forget, now it's hazy
Time takes its toll
And time alters our view
It would be nice
To spend some time with you
Oh, stay for awhile
Well, it's good to see Your smile
And I love your company
Stay for a while
And remember the day's gone by
For a moment it can seem
Just the way it used to be
Stay, please stay
Stay, stay, stay
One, two, one, two
Stay for awhile
Well, it's good to see Your smile
And I love your company
Oh, stay for a while
And remember the day's gone by
For a moment it can seem
Just the way it used to be
Stay for a while
Oh, it's good to see Your smile
And I love your company
Won't you stay with me for a while
And remember the day's gone by
For a moment it can seem
Just the way it used to be
The way it used to be, be
The way it used to be
Now, now, now, now, now, now
