NEWARK, NJ — One of the disco era's most recognizable voices is now a member of the New Jersey Hall of Fame.

Newark native Gloria Gaynor was inducted into the New Jersey Hall of Fame during a ceremony on May 6 in Asbury Park. Gaynor, who may be best-known for the smash hit "I Will Survive," also performed at the induction ceremony (see below video).

"Induction into the New Jersey Hall of Fame is the highest civilian honor that our state can bestow on someone," Governor Phil Murphy stated. "It's a celebration of New Jersey that inspires the next generation of New Jersey leaders. Our inductees remind us how so many of our citizens have transformed the world, and how proud we should be of that fact as New Jerseyans."
