Gloria Gaynor's ex-producer claims singer is being 'ill-advised' after she sues him for $2million


Producer Joel Diamond claims he has proof to show that he does in fact, own the rights to seven of Gaynor's nine masters - and even co-wrote a track with her, despite her claiming otherwise.

‘For over 40 years, Joel Diamond had a close, personal friendship with Gloria Gaynor that went well beyond a mere business relationship,’ his representative Bryan Freedman told DailyMail.com. Gaynor, 81, claims she is owed $2 million after Joel Diamond allegedly exploited her copyrights for decades and failed to pay royalties (pictured together circa 1983) ‘Defendants utterly failed to live up to their obligations to keep Plaintiffs apprised of how their work was being licensed and used, while wrongfully exacting economic benefits they were not entitled to by exploiting that very relationship.’
