This is one of these songs that I heard maybe once or twice as a little kid and then walked around with it stuck in my head for years after. I only learnt who it was by a couple of years ago, but what a cracker!

SC rules as I see I stated during the last revive.
What was it with LB covering Ialian pop songs? A couple weeks ago I couldn't stop listening to the original Gloria:

Wow his performance posture is really something! It's like ectomorphic joe cocker or something!

I can't even tell you how much I love everything about that dude. His spiffy little outfit, the jewlery, his moves - perfect.

IIRC the same guy who wrote Gloria also wrote Self Control, which would explain why Branigan recorded it, as she'd already had one hit with the guy's song.

Whoever that guy is, I think I love him.

According to Wikipedia he's called Giancarlo Bigazzi, though he's only a co-writer of both "Gloria" and "Self Control". But I assume he's the reason Branigan chose to record the latter song.

Oh, looks like he died this January... :( RIP, mister songwriter.

Aw, man. RIP.

Apparently he also wrote Boney M's "Take the Heat Off Me", which is a cool song as well:

I wish I could've celebrated this guy's life more while he was actually alive.
