105.7 KOKZ is your home for classic American Top 40 shows every weekend! This Sunday morning at 8 join Casey Kasem for the top songs from May 19th, 1984, it’s where I found today’s Forgotten 45 at 3:45 from Laura Branigan with “Self Control”.
Laura had her biggest success in the early 80’s with three top ten hits, the biggest being her 1982 smash “Gloria” which hit #2 along with the follow-up “Solitaire”. In ’84 she released “Self Control” from her album of the same name and it became her final top ten hit reaching #4 on the charts.
The singer from New York sadly passed away in 2004 at the age of 52. Her high school Byrom Hills awards a Laura Branigan Memorial Scholarship to a senior for excellence in the performing arts.
From this week in 1984 it’s Laura Branigan with “Self Control”, it’s today’s Forgotten 45.
