Branigan is the debut studio album by American singer Laura Branigan, released on March 8, 1982, by Atlantic Records. The album's lead single, "All Night with Me", reached number 69 on the US Billboard Hot 100, while the second single, an English version of Italian singer Umberto Tozzi's song "Gloria", was a commercial success, propelling Branigan to international prominence.
The album was certified Gold in both the United States and Canada. Her Eurodisco version of "Gloria" was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Pop Vocal Performance, Female in 1983.
A remastered and expanded edition of the album was released on July 7, 2014, by Gold Legion. Included is the 12-inch mix of "Gloria", extending the song's original length from 4:51 to 5:53 with much of this intro disengaged. Several tracks are hard to find from the album sessions, all but one of which were released as singles or B-sides prior to the release of the final album.
