After three auditions, legendary producer Clive Davis signed Gaynor to the Columbia record label. "Honey Bee" was Gaynor's first solo single on Columbia. She moved to New York City and was still successfully touring with City Life, singing "Honey Bee" and "Never Can Say Goodbye," which had been previously recorded by both Isaac Hayes and the Jackson Five. She recorded "Never Can Say Goodbye" for MGM, and it became one of the first disco hits. Gaynor was the first to record an extended-play remix especially for play in dance clubs, and her 12-inch dance singles from the era have remained hot among collectors. MGM released Gaynor's debut album, Never Can Say Goodbye, which went gold.
