Abstract

The oil crisis continued, unemployment remained high, Jimmy Carter's presidency suffered blow after demoralizing blow, disco was the popular music, movies were breaking new ground and television continued remained the number one form of entertainment and relaxation. America was faced with hostages being held in Iran, a near nuclear melt down at Three Mile Island in Pennsylvania, and the auto industry was losing profits and cutting jobs due to unprecedented foreign competition. Among the many songs that made it to number one that year was Gloria Gaynor's "I will survive." This song quickly climbed to the top of the charts to hit number one in January. A popular song in the discos, it also became a sort of anthem for the gay rights movement and was adopted by women in their continued struggle towards equality.
