Alan Olsen: So Laurie, give me your back on how did you move into the role of writing songs and entertaining and doing what you do?
Lori Glori: Well, you know, since I, when I started out, talking, I knew that I wanted to be a singer. I was all the time right around the house scene. And we had me and my three sisters had a gospel singing group, my mother was a great singer as well. And she would teach us. And then as I got older, I started seeing the top 40, bands and clubs. And then I got the opportunity to travel around the world. And that’s when I wrote my first song. And that’s where it all began. And then I ended up in Germany and ended up staying over there for about 30 years, going back and forth and had a lot of opportunity to sing on some very dried some music for some very big stars over there in Europe.
Alan Olsen: So out of all the songs you’ve done, which is most memorable or meaningful to you,
Lori Glori: The one that I’m doing right now, my new my new EP shine, that is the my best writing that I’ve done. I feel like
Alan Olsen: and is that tell tell me more about shine? How did that come about?
Lori Glori: Okay, well, you know, let me I’m gonna tell you what happened, my voice got stolen from me, and went triple platinum. Over there in Germany and artists, big time star over there. We went into the studio and did a collaboration. And I signed a piece of paper that I didn’t know I was signing away all my rights. And the end result of that was all the songs that I sung in the studio went triple platinum, and he used another woman to lip sync to my voice. And at that point, I got very depressed and actually didn’t want to say anymore and just gave up wanting to just give up. And by the grace of dad, he brought me out of that depression. And the songs that I wrote on the My new EP, are inspired by that what happened?
Alan Olsen: You know, it’s interesting in life, sometimes we were taking a path down one road. And then situations happen as this one did. Yeah. And then that discouragement brings out lessons of life. That’s right. And so and so now you you’ve come back to the US,

But it was a mega hit for Jennifer rush in Europe before Celine got a hold of the song. And that’s how I really got a chance to really do big tours like Buckingham Palace. Same kind of the coin.

Lori Glori has sung all over the world, from San Francisco to Buckingham Palace, however it wasn’t until she had her voice stolen, and had it go triple platinum, that she was able to find God…
At a very young age Lori started singing Gospel music in her hometown of San Francisco. She went on to be the front female vocalist for Bill Summers and Summers Heat with the hit songs: “Call It What You Want”, “Straight To The Bank”, “Jam The Box”, “At The Concert” and more. Later, the group went on to do a major European tour at the end of which Lori opted to stay in Europe.
While in Europe she teamed up with Dance Music Productions (DMP), where Lori Glori became one of the first artists to kick off the era of Euro Dance, the new sound of the 90s. She entered the era with the song “Intermission”, and soon after, with her powerful voice and electrifying stage presence, landed in the Top 100 charts, with a peak position of 8. She went on to help create the songs “Six Days”, as well as “Give Peace A Chance” and “Piece of my Heart”. All this leading up to a collaboration with Dj Bobo.
Lori Glori became the voice behind the many Hits of Dj Bobo, such as “Let the Dream Come”, “There’s a Party”, “Shadows of the Night”, “Pray”, “Respect Yourself”, and many more, all of which went triple Platinum. However, after working with Bobo, Lori made the decision to return back to her roots in Gospel music and God.
