Substitute / I Will Survive

I Will Survive was originally released as the B-side to a cover version of the Righteous Brothers song Substitute. It became a worldwide smash hit for Gaynor when disc jockeys played the B-side of the record instead. Subsequent copies of the record were eventually pressed with I Will Survive as the A-side. The song was a huge hit well into 1979, and remains one of the most popular and recognized disco anthems. It has since become an iconic gay anthem as well.
