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. #Post#: 8421-------------------------------------------------- Re: The Story of " I will Survive" - Motown Connection By: Roger Date: February 13, 2022, 8:14 am --------------------------------------------------------- [quote author=Snakepit link=topic=1437.msg8420#msg8420 date=1644748278] BBC 4 recently ran a documentary on the story of Gloria Gaynor's "I will survive".
