We usually just barbecue, like everybody else in America.

I love barbecued baby back ribs.

Sometimes I make them; sometimes I just go to Outback Steakhouse.

I once had a Fourth of July party catered from Outback.

I was very, very happy.

Oh yeah, before I even heard the music, when I was reading the lyrics.

Singer Gloria Gaynor posing for a portrait in New York.

The record company released it as a B side.

Im saying to them, What are you, stupid?

Its a timeless lyric.

Gloria Gaynor sits with her promotional materials in 1975.

Everybodys going to relate to this.

I took copies of it to DJ Richie Kaczor at Studio 54 and asked him to play it.

You know, if a jaded New York audience immediately loves something, its got to be a hit.

Disco singer Gloria Gaynor performs a song on December 13, 1975, in Hollywood, California.

We gave him the whole box of records and told him to give it to his DJ friends.

And the rest is history.

Its nice up there.

Although we don’t mind other people having opinions, ours is just the ones that are right.

Theres no better place to perform than New York.

Its a tough audience.

If you get them, then the rest is a piece of cake.
