== Career ==
The eldest of nine children, Gloria's father Jimmy was the leader of the Arcadians Showband.〔(Irish Showbands - Johnny McEvoy )〕 Her first experience on stage was at the age of 10 when she danced and played accordion with her father's showband. After leaving school, Gloria found work playing piano with another band, before joining the Maurice Lynch Showband as a singer in the late 1960s.〔(Irish Showbands - Maurice Lynch Showband )〕
It was as a solo singer however that she made her name in the 1970s. Gloria toured around Ireland singing alongside Johnny McEvoy during the early to mid 1970s before breaking out on her own.〔(Irish Show bands - Gloria & Mississippi )〕 She began recording Gospel and Country songs in Nashville and appeared three times on the ''Praise the Lord'' show.〔(45 cat/ Back cover biography for "One Day at a Time" )〕 She found her greatest success in the late 1970s with her version of the song "One Day at a Time" which reached No. 1 in the Irish charts. It remained on the charts for 90 weeks - the longest run for any single in Irish chart history (a record it still holds today).〔(Irish Charts - Chart records )〕 The single gained a UK release in December 1978, but failed to attract attention before Scottish singer Lena Martell scored a UK No.1 with it some months later.〔(45 cat - Gloria - One Day at a Time )〕 It came from her album ''When I Sing for Him'', which was certified silver.〔 She was popular in the dancehalls at the time, singing with her backing band, The Mississippi.
Gloria announced her retirement in May 2001, when she turned 50.〔http://www.rte.ie/news/2001/0402/nationwide.html〕 She has since returned to music, performing with her sister Patrice, based in Navan, Co. Meath.〔(Facebook - Gloria and Patrice )〕
