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.

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 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.'"

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.

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.

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!

Laura Branigan was an Italy's cover singer 😁 Gloria is a cover from a 1980 song by Umberto Tozzi, a very famous talian singer in Italy (Ti amo was his too) Self control is another cover from a 1984 song by Raf (Raffaele Riefoli) another italian singer.

This song was such a memory for me from 1984. I can almost transport myself there.

Her husband got cancer. She took care of him until he died. She’s my favorite female singer.

Gloria was her biggest hit... but my two favorite songs by her are, Spanish Eddie, and Forever Young.

Everyone saying 'Gloria' but 'Self Control' is my fav Laura Brannigan song! Yes 'Gloria' shows off her talent more but'Self Control is such a tune!

She wasn't underrated to my friends and I, we LOVED her. Her music was played in the clubs constantly and the dancefloor was always packed when one of her songs came on. At the height of her success her husband was diagnosed with colon cancer so she put her career on hold to take care of him, and a few years after he passed, she died from a brain aneurysm. We could have had so much more great music from her.

Laura Branigan was a great artist well known in Latinamerica. She even sang songs in other languages. She was several times in Chile in Festivals and TV shows, and did have a very special friendship with one of our most important tv journalists and entertainers Mr. Raul Matas. Unfortunately she dies so young and beautiful. RIP Laura Branigan. Please you have to react to "Gloria". Regards from Chile! :-)

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.
