Gloria Gaynor is an American singer, best known for the disco era hits "I Will Survive", "Never Can Say Goodbye", "Let Me Know" and "I Am What I Am". Gaynor was born Gloria Fowles in Newark, New Jersey, to Queenie Mae Proctor, her grandmother was involved in her upbringing. "There was always music in our house", Gaynor wrote in her autobiography, I Will Survive. She enjoyed listening to the radio, to records by Nat King Cole and Sarah Vaughan, her father played the ukulele and guitar and sang professionally in nightclubs with a group called Step'n' Fetchit. Gloria grew up a tomboy: she had five brothers, but no sister, her brothers formed a quartet with a friend. Gaynor was not allowed to sing with the all-male group, nor was her younger brother Arthur, because Gloria was a girl and he was too young. Arthur acted as a tour manager for Gaynor; the family was poor, but Gaynor recalls the house being filled with laughter and happiness, the dinner table being open to neighborhood friends. They moved to a housing project in 1960.

"All through my young life I wanted to sing, although nobody in my family knew it", Gaynor wrote in her autobiography. Gaynor began singing in a night club in Newark, where she was recommended to a local band by a neighbor. After several years of performing in local clubs and along the east coast, Gaynor began her recording career in 1971 at Columbia Records. Gaynor was a singer with a jazz/R & B music band, in the 1960s, she recorded "She'll Be Sorry/Let Me Go Baby" in 1965, for Johnny Nash's Jocida label. Her first real success came in 1973; the fruit of, the release of the flop single "Honey Bee." Moving on to MGM Records she hit with the album Never Can Say Goodbye on MGM. The first side of the album consisted of three songs with no break between the songs; this 19-minute dance marathon proved to be enormously popular at dance clubs. All three songs were released as singles via radio edits and all of them became hits; the album was instrumental in introducing disco music to the public, "Never Can Say Goodbye" becoming the first song to top Billboard magazine's dance chart.

It was a hit on the mainstream Pop Charts, peaking at #9, on the R&B Charts, reaching #34. It marked her first significant chart success internationally, making it into the Top 5 in Australia, Canada and the UK; the song would go on to be certified silver by the British Phonographic Industry, subsequently gold in the US. Capitalizing on the success of her first album, she released her second album, Experience Gloria Gaynor that same year; some of her lesser-known singles, due to lack of recurrent airplay — including "Honey Bee", "Casanova Brown", "Let's Make A Deal", as well as her cover of The Four Tops' "Reach Out, I'll Be There" — became hits in the clubs and reached the Top 5 on Billboard's disco charts. Many charted on the Hot 100 and R&B charts as well, with songs like " Do It Yourself" - a #1 disco hit - peaking at #98 on the Pop Charts and #24 on the R&B Charts, her cover of "How High The Moon" topped the US Dance Charts, made the lower parts of both the Pop and R&B charts, as well as achieving some international chart success.

After her 1976 album, I've Got You, she shifted from her hit production team, to work with other productions. Gaynor has recorded some 16 albums since, including one in England, one in Germany, two in Italy. In the next few years, Gaynor released the albums Glorious and Gloria Gaynor's Park Avenue Sound, but would only enjoy a few more moderate hits. However, in late 1978, with the release of her album Love Tracks, she climbed the pop charts again with her smash hit single "I Will Survive"; the lyrics of this song are written from the point of view of a woman dumped, telling her former lover that she can cope without the person and does not want anything more to do with the person. The song has become something of an anthem of female emancipation. Interestingly, the song "I Will Survive" was the B-side when Polydor Records released it in late 1978; the A-side, a song called "Substitute" a recent worldwide hit for South African girl-group Clout, was considered more "radio friendly". Legendary Boston Disco Radio DJ Jack King, turned the record over and recalls being stunned by what he heard.

"I couldn't believe they were burying this monster hit on the B-side", says DJ King. "I played it and played it and my listeners went nuts!" This massive audience response forced the record company to flip the songs, so that subsequent copies of the single listed the more popular song on the A-side. King was honored at New York's "Disco Masters Awards Show" for 3 consecutive years in recognition of his relentless push of the song; the song received the Grammy Award for Best Disco Recording in 1980, the only year that award was given. It is ranked #492 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of "the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time", ranked at #97 on Billboard magazine's "All-Time Hot 100". In 2000, the song was ranked #1 in VH1's list of the'100 greatest dance songs' of all time and remains there to this day; as a disco number, t

This List of prehistoric bony fish is an attempt to create a comprehensive listing of all genera from the fossil record that have been considered to be bony fish, excluding purely vernacular terms. The list includes all accepted genera, but genera that are now considered invalid, doubtful, or were not formally published, as well as junior synonyms of more established names, genera that are no longer considered members of osteichthyes; this list includes 1,386 generic names. Extinct genera are marked with a dagger. Extant genera are bolded. Naming conventions and terminology follow the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature. Technical terms used include: Junior synonym: A name which describes the same taxon as a published name. If two or more genera are formally designated and the type specimens are assigned to the same genus, the first to be published is the senior synonym, all other instances are junior synonyms. Senior synonyms are used, except by special decision of the ICZN, but junior synonyms cannot be used again if deprecated.

Junior synonymy is subjective, unless the genera described were both based on the same type specimen. Nomen nudum: A name that has appeared in print but has not yet been formally published by the standards of the ICZN. Nomina nuda are invalid, are therefore not italicized as a proper generic name would be. If the name is formally published, that name is no longer a nomen nudum and will be italicized on this list; the formally published name will differ from any nomina nuda that describe the same specimen. Nomen oblitum: A name that has not been used in the scientific community for more than fifty years after its original proposal. Preoccupied name: A name, formally published, but, used for another taxon; this second use is invalid and the name must be replaced. As preoccupied names are not valid generic names, they will go unitalicized on this list. Nomen dubium: A name describing a fossil with no unique diagnostic features; as this can be an subjective and controversial designation, this term is not used on this list.
