Released: 1979Love Tracks is the sixth studio album by Gloria Gaynor, released in November 1978 on Polydor Records. It reached number four on the US Billboard 200 and includes Gaynor's biggest hit and only number-one single, "I Will Survive".History[edit]Love Tracks includes her million-selling number-one single "I Will Survive", which originally started out as the B-side to the album's first single, a cover of Clout's "Substitute" before it was flipped. (The 12" single was quickly deleted and the 4:56 album version was replaced with the 8:01 12" version in order to sell more albums).The song "Anybody Wanna Party?" also became a hit, becoming a top-20 hit on the club/dance chart, as well as peaking at number 16 on the R&B chart.The album was remastered and reissued with bonus tracks in 2013 by Big Break Records.[1]Critical reception[edit]Professional ratingsReview scoresSourceRatingAllMusic[2]Christgau's Record GuideB+[3]The Rolling Stone Album Guide[4]Smash Hits4/10[5]The Virgin Encyclopedia of R&B and Soul[6]The Bay State Banner wrote that "'I Will Survive' is arresting black pop, sung with directness and conviction that reflects personal triumph...
