AllMusic | [1] |
Smash Hits | 4/10 [2] |
I Have a Right is Gloria Gaynor's seventh studio album, released in 1979. The track, "Let Me Know (I Have a Right)", was released as a single and reached No. 42 on the Billboard Hot 100. [3] The album has never been released on CD.
AllMusic called the opening track "Let me Know” "a very weak and contrived start" and "a poor person's ' I Will Survive'." However, "the rest of the material is excellent. From both a disco standpoint and a Northern soul standpoint, I Have a Right is a welcome addition to Gaynor's catalog." [1]
Smash Hits, however, said, "A desperately dull collection of over orchestrated nightclub songs, an out of date rhythm machine and a struggling soul singer bring you every disco cliché in the book without a shred of originality or personality to rescue it. Formula dance music for computers." [4]
All tracks are written by Dino Fekaris and Freddie Perren, except where noted
