"(If You Want It) Do It Yourself" by Gloria Gaynor
Gloria Fowles, aka Gloria Gaynor, was a staple in the 70s disco scene with her classics "Never Can Say Goodbye" (#9) and "I Will Survive" (#1). In-between those hits came this terrific spirited anthem called "(If You Want It) Do It Yourself." The song is exactly what the title makes it out to be, but not even the catchy funk could life this tune past #98 in 1975. In my book, this one should have gone top 10.
