This “Gloria“ music video is a tribute to Laura Branigan, a four-time Grammy Award nominee, who died at the age of 52 from cerebral aneurysm in August 2004. Branigan's high-octane remake of Gloria (lyrics by Trevor Veitch) was a top disco hit of the 1980s. It stayed on the US Billboard Hot 100 for 36 weeks, a record for a solo female artist at the time. Gloria was in Branigan's words “a character study of a girl that's running too fast for her own steps.“ The song appeared in the 1983 movie Flashdance (starring Jennifer Beals & Michael Nouri) but was not included in its soundtrack album. The original version of Gloria is a 1979 Italian pop song written and composed by Umberto Tozzi and Giancarlo Bigazzi. Video made by: fkwk101 (Yukon Audio-visual Workshop).
