@@DrCecil86Do you only count the US as most US people do? In many European countries Self Control was her biggest hit. It was the most selling single in Germany in 1984. Of course there's more power in her vocals in Gloria, but Self Control is one of the signature songs of the 80s at least in Europe...

Worldwide cumulatively Self Control probably outsells Gloria as it was a bigger hit in many European countries, and it was definitely much bigger in Asian countries than Gloria ... Gloria was bigger in the US/UK but thats it ... Self Control has to be bigger, as Europe has more than double the population of the US ...

It is interesting to see how the music video evolved from Gloria to this number. Gloria was just a camera on a set while this is a movie with script and direction. The early MTV world was the band in front of a camera while the 80s evolved into concept videos with budgets in the millions.

The late great Laura Branigan. This is one of her most understated vocal performances. Check out 'Gloria' as well as her version 'How Am I Supposed to Live Without You', particularly the live version. Michael Bolton wrote it for her and she recorded and released her version before he then went on to release it too. Sadly, Laura died in her sleep of a brain aneurysm in 2004.

"The video was filmed in New Jersey and New York City and directed by William Friedkin (The French Connection, The Exorcist). Branigan was one of the first artists of the video era to work with an Academy Award-winning film director. She recalled to The Associated Press: 'It was a real experience. He's a great film director. We worked very hard on it.' "'The song was about losing your self-control to the night or to someone,' Branigan added. 'We had a man representing the night, wearing a mask. There were all these great dancers wearing masks by Willa Shalit. There's a shot where the man comes into my bedroom, taking me into the night. He appears and disappears. MTV didn't play it. They said it was risqué. It was played in Europe and everywhere else. I didn't think it was bad at all.'"

As others would say Laura had an awesome voice with different ranges that you don't get in this song. She has other songs that show the power of her voice. I saw her in concert and she was even better in person. Her voice went right through me. I believe her best songs are "Power Of Love" "Ti Amo" & "How Am I Suppose To Live Without You." Laura died early at the age of 49. She was just in her prime and she was one of the music industries biggest lost...not so much for the artists...but for us fans!

This is a cover. The original version was written/sung by a male called "RAF" and was a huge hit in Europe. It was Branigans spiel to cover european hit-songs that were unknown in the US (like Gloria). And you are pretty dead right by pointing out that he music is between disco and techno, because after disco and before techno there was "Italo-Disco" and this song is a premier example of that style of music.

While not technically not hits on the charts, she has so many good songs I'm not seeing recommended and it's a bummer because I'd love for them to dive deep in the Laura rabbit hole like they've done several other artists. Laura is my all time favorite female artist and she deserves that kinda respect!

Gloria and Self Control were her biggest hits, but she had so many amazing songs. She was so underrated because she had one of those powerhouse, belt it out there, super-ballad voices, but there just was not a big call for belting songs in the 80s and early 90s.

Her song "Gloria" is a better showcase for her voice. It's one of my favorite songs of the 80's.

I loved her! I would ride my bike as fast as I could, singing "Gloria" at the top of my lungs. It's where I learned the word "alias."

Thats funny. My aunt was called Gloria and as much as I loved she was a fierce woman but the song is so uplifting the dichotomy was always hilarious

Please give Laura Branigan another chance - "Gloria" was the spirit anthem in 2019 for the St. Louis Blues hockey team; a personal favorite is "Solitaire" which shows her incredible vocal range.

Self Control was a hit for Italian singer Raf in Europe before Branigan covered it. The Branigan version toned down the Italio disco vibe. Check out the Raf version.

You should definitely check out "Gloria" as others have suggested so you can get an idea of what she was capable of. But in my case Self Control is still my favorite even if it was more relaxed vocally. Sadly Laura passed away in her early 50's.

She had a very strong voice, and she was georgous. Her husband had passed and she died alone, so sad.

I'm so happy to see you do a reaction to Laura Branigan -- one of my favorite singers of all time. She had so many great songs and videos, but Gloria was definitely her calling card. Self Control was also one of her biggest hits, but MTV told her she had to re-make the video because it was too "risque". She refused, and they pulled her music from the channel for a while. I think that took some steam out of her career and popularity at the time. Fortunately, she kept on making albums, videos and singing on many soundtracks (Flashdance, Ghostbusters, Salsa, Coming to America, etc) -- and continued to show up on the charts for the remainder of the 80's and early 90's.

So happy you guys discovered Laura. Her version of "The Power of Love" is where Celine Dion got some of her rendition from. It never fails to give me goosebumps. "Ti Amo" is severely underrated.

Look up Italo Disco, as a genre. This was a cover of RAF's song. 80's synth, and style took it's cue, in no small part, from the Italian trend setters. Laura killed it, for sure. The video was, super dark.

This tune was great! But I must pile on and suggest "Gloria". It showcases more of her powerhouse vocal delivery... Plus you guys love a raspy high note on the outro and we watch for your reaction!Laura's rasp is beautifully beast like and almost as different from her regular delivery as Joe Elliott's (Def Leppard). Especially on Pyromania... As a kid, pre-internet, I was sure "Billy's Got A Gun" and "Foolin" featured 2 singers. Loving Channel! 🪂
