Laura Branigan Imagination 1983 Extended Meow Mix

Released on April 15, 1983 the soundtrack to Flashdance sold more than 20 million copies becoming one of the best selling LP s of all time but the best selling of 1983. Irene Cara s version of What A Feeling spent six weeks at, 1 on the Hot100 and the follow up Michael Sembello s Maniac spent two weeks at the top. A third single from the soundtrack was scheduled, Donna Summer s Romeo from her still born 1981 LP I m a Rainbow but at the time she was ready to release She Works Hard For The Money so Romeo never saw a commercial release. Laura Branigan figured heavily in the movie with her hit Gloria being used to convey excitement for the skating sequence and when Alex s friend fell on the ice, it underlined her failure. Gloria was not included on the soundtrack, but her song Imagination did.
