Gaynor was a singer with the Soul Satisfiers, a jazz and R&B music band, in the 1960s.

In 2021, Gaynor returned to disco music when she recorded “Can’t Stop Writing Songs About You” with Australian singer Kylie Minogue for the reissue of Minogue’s fifteenth studio album Disco entitled Disco: Guest List Edition.
In April 2021, Gaynor recorded “Brand New” with the veteran Contemporary Christian band MercyMe.
