Laura 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.)

Turns out the 1978 Gene ("Duke of Earl") Chandler disco track "Lovequake" sounds a lot like Branigan's "Gloria," chorus-melody-wise, as well. Not sure if that's an accident.
