As a singer, entertainer and host, Gloria Loring is known for
her energy, commitment and joy. Having made more than 1000
appearances on television as both a singer and an actress, she
brings a familiar face and name to everything she does. She is the
recording artist of the #1 hit song Friends and Lovers; co-composer
of television theme songs 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 and the author of
four books for people living with diabetes; a keynote speaker for
corporations and non-profits; and one of the few artists to sing
two nominated songs at the Academy Awards.
She just completed a series of symphony concerts in tribute to
Barbra Streisand that prompted standing ovations and rave reviews.
Her newest musical show, TV Tunez, is a celebration of television’s
best theme songs that premiered to standing ovations and is now in
pre-production for a Las Vegas run. She is currently in the studio
recording songs by songwriting legends such as Burt Bachrach and
Desmond Child.
She recently completed writing Coincidence Is God's Way of
Remaining Anonymous, a spiritual autobiography of how a series of
extraordinary coincidences transformed her life, and is about to
begin work on its sequel, Life Doesn't Have To Be a Soap Opera: How
I Learned to Drop the Drama.
Gloria is a certified yoga instructor and an articulate champion of
bio-medical research. After her son Brennan was diagnosed with
diabetes at age four, she created and self-published two volumes of
the Days Of Our Lives Celebrity Cookbook which raised more than $1
million for diabetes research. She also has three published books,
Kids, Food and Diabetes, Parenting a Child with Diabetes, and
Living With Type 2 Diabetes: Moving past the Fear.
Gloria is listed in Who’s Who in America and Who’s Who of American

JDRF, and received the Woman of Achievement Award from the Miss
America Organization, an honor she shares with past recipients
Barbara Bush, Roslyn Carter, and Hillary Clinton.
