Just like Sarah Vaughan and Ella Fitzgerald of the jazz genre, people often make comparisons between Gloria Gaynor and Donna Summer as the leading ladies of the disco beat. Although understandable comparisons, these artists are quite unique in sound and material. This delightful CD happens to be an excellent synopsis of Queen Gloria's better known dance floor and chart hits. Gloria is gifted with a truly wonderful voice, which works well with disco and ballads. There's also a very happy vibe to her music, and that's definitely captured here. The entire Never Can Say Goodbye album is contained, even if is in edited form.
