Soldier Surprises Mom With A Little Help From Disco Legend Gloria Gaynor

A Detroit mother was overcome with tears after her son returned from US Army service abroad and surprised her in front of thousands at an NBA game.

Denise Edwards was sitting courtside to see the Detroit Pistons play the Chicago Bulls when her son Damon Bledsoe, came back from a year’s service in South Korea to give her a hug.

Singing legend Gloria Gaynor, who performed her hit song “I Will Survive” at the game, acknowledged Ms Edwards before saying that the team’s Hoops for Troops initiative had a surprise for her.
