Diabetes Doesn't Have To Be A Soap OperaSpeaker Information
A consummate singer and entertainer, Gloria Loring is the recording artist of the #1 hit song "Friends and Lovers", co-composer of television theme songs for "Diff'rent Strokes" and "Facts Of Life", an audience favorite from daytime TV's "Days Of Our Lives", spokesperson for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, author of four books and inspirational speaker.

With nine albums to her credit, Loring has performed in concert all over North America, Europe and Australia. Her performances prompt reviews from critics, such as the one written by Don Heckman of the Los Angeles Times, "She told stories with the panache of Lena Horne, sang torch songs like Judy Garland, and scatted with the rhythmic thrust of a young Ella Fitzgerald. She did all of this with one of the best vocal instruments in pop music since the salad days of Barbra Streisand." Gloria has shared the stage with George Carlin, Billy Crystal, Bill Cosby and Al Jarreau. She's starred in musicals, movies of the week and television specials, and has hosted television shows and live events.
Her two new musical shows draw from her own life, with themes that come from her heart and experience. One of her performance vehicles, "From There To Here", is inspired by the music of her family; a hybrid of the classic rock she grew up with, combined with the big band swing of her parents, mashed up with some sexy R&B inspired by her Grammy-nominated son, Robin Thicke.
