       The Story of " I will Survive" - Motown Connection
       By: Snakepit Date: February 13, 2022, 4:31 am
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       BBC 4  recently ran a documentary on the story of Gloria
       Gaynor's "I will survive".
       I think it was made in 2005 but not sure. Certainly, I have
       missed previous showings.
       The song was written by Ex Motowners Dino Fekaris and Freddie
       Perren.
       There are several Motown references, which I found interesting.
       If you have Catch Up facilities, try and catch the show.

       Yep ... The BBC must be repeating it about once every couple of
       years as I started a thread about it in January 2020 ... :) ...

       Missed your post Roger.
       Good account of the show.....interesting stuff.
       Dino Fekaris and Nick Zessus also wrote NS monster " Time will
       pass you by " I think.
       I'd love to see him interviewed about that!
