The incredibly talented Allie Sherlock turned in a powerful, awe-inspiring cover of Gloria Gaynor's classic, “I Will Survive.” This rendition of the 1978 hit is one that you will want to listen to repeatedly. You will find yourself tapping your toe and singing as you take in this lovely performance.

Musicians covering the work of other musicians can be challenging to pull off. Sure, anyone can play or sing a tune previously recorded and performed by someone else. But, of course, the trick is to do it correctly and not wholly destroy it for fans of the original. You don’t want people to wish they did not have ears when listening to your cover performance. That would not be desirable for sure.

However, covers become exceedingly more complicated if the song being covered is beloved and known by essentially everyone on Earth. The pressure increases considerably because, at that point, people judge the cover against the original version. Often, that judgment will not be kind either.

In a clip posted on YouTube, Allie covers the classic and still widely heard and played “I Will Survive.”

“Go on, go, walk out the door

Turn around now

You’re not welcome anymore

You’re the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye”

Who doesn’t know and love that song?

As is the case with every song she covers, Allie knocks this one out of the park. With her unique and distinct-sounding voice, Allie shows she has been greatly blessed in the musical department. This version is a treat for anyone who happens to hear it.

However, unlike nearly every other song she has covered, she is backed up by a band. Typically, Allie stands at the microphone while she strums on her guitar. Often, she’ll be joined by a fellow musician, and they’ll turn in a delightful duet. But this is a much more elaborate setup than we are used to seeing from her.
