[edit] Laura Branigan version
The song was covered by Laura Branigan and was the first single taken from her self-titled album released in 1990. The song was only a minor hit in the U.S., where a sexy music video for the song received little airplay. Branigan can be seen performing the song on her second videocassette and laserdisc concert release, Laura Branigan in Concert, filmed in 1990 at a tour stop in Atlantic City and initially televised as part of the syndicated TV series SRO: In Concert.
