Опубликовано 28 июля 2020, 17:06

Laura Branigan visits for third time the music TV show American Bandstand produced and hosted by Dick Clark. This segment was aired on ABC on Saturday June 9, 1984. On this occasion Laura promotes her third studio album "Self Control" released on April 1st of that year. The title track released as single on April 19, 1984 at this moment - June 1984 - became a national and worldwide hit. In the U.S. charts it was Laura Branigan's fourth consecutive top 10 hit on the Billboard charts, following "Gloria", "Solitaire" and "How Am I Supposed to Live Without You". "Self Control" peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart, No. 4 on the Hot 100, and No. 5 on the Adult Contemporary chart in 1984. The song also topped charts in many other countries in America and Europe.
Laura set into motion all those dancers in the studio with the powerful rhythm of her biggest hit "Self Control". After an interview with Dick about singing and becoming an actress, having just completed work on her upcoming film, "Mugsy's Girls", due out at the end of the summer. Laura is about to embark on her summer tour of the United States, Canada and the rest of the world. Then she sang the sensual and danceable "Satisfaction".
In my opinion, this was her best performance on AB. It's my all time favorite Branigan's performance on TV. In short, the aesthetics of her, her performance and the whole scene is sublime. Enjoy and share!.

* A fan curiosity: Laura is wearing her classic and iconic belt, perhaps one of her favorites, for its strange form. It is best known because she wore it on the "Self Control" music video but certainly she used it since 1983 and then in several concerts and TV performances around the world, specially during her tour in 1984.
