Laura Branigan version

The song was covered by Laura Branigan and was the first single taken from the Laura [Branigan (album)|self-titled album] that she released in 1990. Her version was produced by Richard Perry. However, it was only a minor hit in the United States, where a 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, which was filmed in 1990 at a tour stop in Atlantic City and initially televised as part of the syndicated TV series ''SRO: In Concert.''

Critical reception

Bill Coleman from Billboard wrote, "Previewing the booming-voiced diva's new self-titled album is a sinfully fun popper reminiscent of earlier chart glories. Can't wait for the club remixes."
