Branigan

Branigan is the debut album by American singer Laura Branigan, released in March 1982 on Atlantic Records.

Two singles were released from the album: "All Night With Me", which failed to enter the Top 40, and an English version of the Italian hit "Gloria", which made the singer a star.

The album included ballads "If You Loved Me" and "I Wish We Could Be Alone", the latter written by Branigan. It also included the pop-rock "Please Stay, Go Away" and the straight-ahead rock of "Living a Lie".

The album was certified gold. Her Eurodisco version of "Gloria" was nominated for, but failed to win, a Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance.

A remastered and expanded edition of the album will be released on December 18, 2012 by Gold Legion. It will include the extended version of "Gloria" and, for the first time on an album, the rare single "Looking Out for Number One".
