koganbotLaura Branigan
Raf
Ricky Martin
Infernal
Also, if you insist, here are Royal Gigolos (shitty rip), Soraya, Paffendorf, Dim Chris & Thomas Gold, Paralyzed Age, and Caramelle.
(Laura's is the one that touches me most: she's a klutzy stomper who overenunciates lyrics, but with a song this good it makes her charming, an everywoman in the vortex of the night. Raf (the original version, came out several months before the Branigan) is good bread-and-butter Italodisco, Ricky's version's got the most flair and flexibility but he's a bit too easy with it, Infernal are forceful though far too cold.)

Date: 2009-01-27 08:52 pm (UTC)I think you have it backwards -- FIRST Scott, in a Radio On review of Natalie Cole's "Unforgettable" (her duet with the late Nat "King" Cole) said he looked forward to Madonna teaming up with Ian Curtis on "She's Lost Control." Then (next issue, ie a year later!) Chuck wrote that Laura Branigan had already done this with "Self Control." Both points are incredibly brilliant, and I can lay no honest claim to them, though I wish I could!
So, Scott, your original memory is correct.
