Laura Ann Branigan (July 3, 1952 – August 26, 2004) was an American singer, songwriter, and actress known for her powerful, husky alto singing voice which spanned four octaves. She is best remembered for her 1982 platinum-certified hit "Gloria" and for the top-5 single "Self Control". Branigan is also remembered for the top-10 song "Solitaire", and for the No. 1 Adult Contemporary (AC) hit "How Am I Supposed to Live Without You", as well as several other U.S. top-40 songs.
Branigan also contributed songs to notable motion picture and television soundtracks, including the Grammy and Academy Award-winningFlashdance soundtrack (1983), the Ghostbusters soundtrack (1984), and the Baywatch soundtrack (1994).
Her signature song "Gloria" by Umberto Tozzi stayed on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 for 36 weeks, at the time a record for a female artist; the song holds a place in the top-100 singles of both 1982 and 1983.
Branigan died at her home in 2004 from a previously undiagnosed cerebral aneurysm.
The album's second single, "Never In A Million Years", was an AC hit for Branigan. The album also brought the singer back to the tops of the Hi-NRG charts and dancefloors with its first single, "Moonlight On Water", and a trendy update of Vicki Sue Robinson's disco-era "Turn the Beat Around". The latter was the first of many songs on which Branigan added production to her list of credits. A slew of promo remixes were embraced by many of the DJs who first brought her to fame with "Gloria", but "Turn the Beat Around" did not make the broader US national dance chart and did not receive an official single release.
While a sexy video supported the lead-off single (which was subtitled "Sex On The Beach" on DJ pressings), Laura Branigan became her first album since 1983's Branigan 2 to be promoted by only one music video. While the album was Laura's last to be commercially available as a vinyl LP, "Moonlight On Water" and "Never In A Million Years" were also Branigan's first singles not to be released in the 7" vinyl format. This was Branigan's first album not to produce a Top 40 Billboard Hot 100 hit.
Laura Branigan is the first video released by American pop-singer Laura Branigan.
It was released internationally in VHS and Laserdisc format through Columbia Pictures Home Video, which also released live concerts for many other famous singers of the time, including Pat Benatar.
The show was filmed at Caesars Tahoe, Lake Tahoe and was broadcast on television as Laura Branigan In Concert.
"Satisfaction" is a song by American pop singer Laura Branigan, which was released as the fourth and final single from her 1984 album Self Control. The song's original music was written by Bernd Dietrich, Gerd Grabowski and Engelbert Simons, whilst the English lyrics were written by Mark Spiro and superstar songwriter Diane Warren. It was produced by Jack White and Robbie Buchanan, who both produced the entire Self Control album together.
Background
Released from Branigan's biggest selling album Self Control, the song was released purposely for the dance club scene, and was not given a full release in America. It peaked at #24 on the Billboard Dance Music/Club Play Singles.
In 1985, Finnish singer Eini Orajärvi would cover the song under the title "Tyydytys", released as a Finnish single from her album Eini.
Release
In America, the single was released on promotional 12" vinyl only, although it was also given a full 12" vinyl release too. The single was also released in Germany and France, where it was issued on 7" and 12" vinyl (7" vinyl only in France). All versions of the single were issued by Atlantic Records.

Laura Branigan - Satisfaction - Formel Eins (1984)
Laura Branigan performs "Satisfaction" from her third album "Self Control" at German TV show "Formel Eins" (episode 64) aired on November 27, 1984.
"Formel Eins" was a weekly program hosted by Peter Illman which showed the most popular music videos of the moment, it broadcasted her music videos "Solitaire" and "Self Control". The funny thing is that this show usually they replay music videos and to a lesser extent were featured studio performances with a special start-scene, Laura was one of those exceptions. We assume that the clip was recorded a few days before it was broadcasted. Enjoy a new version here https://youtu.be/zvQ1-hMaq1o
