Gloria
Loring is the recording artist of the #1 hit song Friends and Lovers;
co-composer of television theme songs Diff’rent Strokes and Facts Of Life; an
audience favorite as “Liz Chandler” on Days Of Our Lives; spokesperson for the
Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation; the author of five books benefitting
people with diabetes; a keynote speaker for corporations and non-profits; and
one of few artists to sing two nominated songs on the Academy Awards.
The
depth and diversity of Gloria’s talents and skills are impressive. As a
performer, she toggles from classic rock to standards, from Broadway to pop, in
clubs, performing arts centers, symphonies, and casinos. She’s starred in
movies of the week, television specials, and theatrical productions, including
a national tour of Anything Goes. She is a certified yoga instructor and an
articulate champion of biomedical research.
Gloria’s
new musical show TV Tunez, a celebration of television’s best theme songs that
earned standing ovations, is in development for a Las Vegas run. She is
currently in the studio with producer Ted Perlman and songwriting legends Burt
Bacharach and Desmond Child.
Standing
ovations greeted Gloria’s recent concerts with The Palm Beach Pops Symphony in
tribute to the Streisand Songbook. The Palm Beach Daily News raved, “Loring
commanded the stage from Note One... First and foremost, the lady came to sing
— and sing she did — bringing the right combination of pipes and acting chops
to give the evening’s tall order its due.”
She has
shared the stage with the Pointer Sisters, the Supremes, Billy Crystal, Bill
Cosby, and Bob Hope, and performed on numerous award shows, including the Emmy
Awards, Academy Awards, and Golden Globes. In the beginning of her career,
Gloria was profiled in an hour-long documentary, "Two Singers," with
the legendary Aretha Franklin.
Gloria
is featured on saxophone hottie Jimmy Sommers’ CD, Time Stands Still, singing
the Peggy Lee classic, Fever. In an intriguing twist, her newest CD, A
Playlist, features her R&B sensation son, Robin Thicke, on two tracks, and
days after its release, jazz guitarist Gil Parris invited her to record Robin’s
mega-hit Lost Without You with him.
Gloria Loring is appearing at The Copa in Palm Springs on October 11, 2014.
