Billboard Names Jason Crabb’s Performance With Gloria Gaynor As 1 Of The Top 6 Best Moments During ‘I Will Survive!’ Premiere

Billboard, the renowned music industry authority, has named Jason Crabb‘s performance with Gloria Gaynor as one of the six best moments during the Tribeca Film Festival premiere of the documentary, I Will Survive.

Billboard called the collaboration on “Singin’ Over Me”a ‘stunning duet’ and highlighted it and Crabb’s involvement with Gloria as some of the best moments during the event and film. The documentary features several minutes of Crabb’s involvement and recording sessions with Gaynor during the creation of her GRAMMY winning recording, Testimony. 

The performance took place during Gaynor’s mini-concert after the premiere and was a surprise to attendees during the Tribeca Film Festival on Friday, June 9, 2023.

The Betsy Schechter produced and directed documentary recounts Gloria Gaynor’s life while also chronicling her comeback journey. It is both a moving story of an artist’s resilience and a behind-the-scenes look at the music industry.

The Tribeca Film Festival, a prominent annual event that celebrates the best of independent cinema, showcased a diverse range of captivating films and memorable experiences. Crabb joined Gaynor at the film festival along with other celebrities such as Tracee Ellis Ross, Nick Jonas, Jon Hamm, Alicia Silverstone, Oscar De La Hoya, Mario Lopez, Mark Wahlberg, Milli Vanilli, and more.

Seven years ago, Jason Crabb was about to make his solo Carnegie Hall debut. Gloria Gaynor followed him on Twitter. Crabb did not believe it was her. He called his publicist to confirm her identity and then messaged the disco icon on Twitter and asked if she would like to be his guest at his Carnegie Hall debut. Gaynor responded “yes.” As they visited in the dressing room, she said it was a bucket list item for her to play Carnegie Hall, and Crabb couldn’t believe she had never played Carnegie Hall.

So, Crabb surprised her that night, and pulled her on stage to sing “Take My Hand, Precious Lord” with him. As a result, Crabb helped Gaynor check off an item on her bucket list. That was back on June 4, 2016. Now, seven years later – almost to the day – Crabb joined Gaynor at the Tribeca Film Festival.

Crabb is currently touring in support of his latest hit and EP, Good Morning Mercy.

Creative Ideas for Celebrating Father’s Day

As Father’s Day approaches, it’s important to acknowledge that many men are accustomed to prioritizing the needs of others over their own. So, what better way to show them that their needs matter than by curating creative gifts and celebrating them in unique ways? Here are some fun and distinctive ideas to honour our fathers:

1. Prepare his favourite meal:

Most men have a meal that they absolutely love. Celebrate your father by preparing his favourite dish, making him feel special and appreciated. You can also try a new recipe that he’s never experienced before, but be cautious not to overdo it and risk ruining the dish.

2. Make it a Spa/Self-care Day:

Help your father relax by booking a spa session or creating a self-care routine at home. Treat him to a much-needed pedicure, massage, or other soothing activities. Utilise scented candles, aromatic oils, and soulful music to enhance the ambiance and melt away the stress he’s accumulated. 

3. Engage in his favourite activity:

Make Father’s Day memorable by spending the day doing something he loves. This shows that you recognize his interests and genuinely care about what brings him joy. Whether it’s an outdoor adventure, a sports activity, an artistic pursuit, or simply taking a walk together, cherish the moment and create lasting memories.

4. Organise a family night celebration:

Invite family members, close friends, or neighbours to a festive gathering, filled with enjoyable activities such as games, cooking, singing, dancing, and heartfelt conversations. Consider having family members take turns imitating or mimicking their dads, fostering laughter and strengthening family bonds. These shared memories will be cherished and may even become a beloved family tradition.

5. Create a DIY gift or card:

Curate a thoughtful gift or handcraft a personalised Father’s Day card. Consider something he has always wanted, a gift that symbolises his importance to you, or a reminder of a significant moment you shared together. Write a meaningful, heartfelt note expressing who he is to you, how he makes you feel, and the depth of your love. Don’t shy away from being vulnerable and genuine. Alternatively, you could create a photo album capturing special “father moments” or craft a scrapbook or artwork. These heartfelt gestures will be cherished by him forever.

Remember, whether you’re celebrating him as the father of your children or your own father, the most crucial aspect is to show him love, respect, and spend quality time together. Father’s Day is a day to prioritize his happiness and make him feel special. Celebrate fatherhood by creating lasting memories and showing appreciation for his love and support.
