Best known for her chart breaking disco hit "I Will Survive," GRAMMY® winner Gloria Gaynor will release her brand new Gospel album Testimony on June 7. The album will be released via Gaither Music.

For this album, Gaynor partnered with GRAMMY®-winning producer Chris Stevens (TobyMac, Mandisa) to create a roots gospel collection that relies on Gaynor's songwriting, a couple of hymns and a stunning interpretation of Dylan's "Man of Peace." Special guests include Yolanda Adams, Jason Crabb, Mike Farris and Bart Millard, as well as a "who's who" of studio musicians.

A gospel album has always been part of Gaynor's musical vision, and Testimony proves to be worth the wait. "It has long been my deep-seated desire to record a gospel album that would uplift, encourage, inspire and even inform," Gaynor tells Billboard. "I trust that through my testimony on this album, I am able to do much of that through these songs. I am so very proud of this album, and excited to share the first single, 'Amazing Grace.'"
