Laura Branigan - Solitaire

Source: TV File Info: Video: MPEG-2 video , 720x480, 29.97 fps, VBR (Constant quality), Maximum 6124 Kb/s Audio: Dolby Digital, 48000 Hz, Stereo, 256 kbps "Solitaire" is a pop-rock song by Laura Branigan, appearing on her second album Branigan 2 and released as its first single in early 1983. It was her second consecutive Top Ten hit on the U.S., Australian, and Canadian charts. Branigan's debut album had featured the massive hit "Gloria", which spent six months on the U.S. singles charts, peaking at #1 on the Cashbox and ARC Weekly Top 40 charts and at #2 on the Billboard Hot 100. Rather than follow that hit with another track from the Branigan album, the artist recorded a follow-up, Branigan 2, and released "Solitaire" as its first single. "Solitaire" entered the Billboard Hot 100 the same week "Gloria" fell off the charts, and became the singer's fastest-rising single, surging to a #7 peak on that chart, and a notch higher on the ARC Weekly Top 40 charts. Branigan's single also charted on the U.S. Adult Contemporary and Dance charts. Though not quite as successful as "Gloria," "Solitaire" was another international hit for Branigan, notably hitting the Pop Top Five in Australia and peaking at number eight on both the Pop and Adult Contemporary charts in Canada. A music video for the song mirrors the lyrics (relatively rare for an '80s video), featuring a lonely Branigan recording the song in a studio and somewhat occupied with the trappings of fame and career, but otherwise spending her free time alone and frustrated. When her errant lover finally returns, she is about to give him the cold shoulder, when she turns back and flips a deck of playing cards at the guy, who stoops to gather them up. Branigan promoted the song with appearances on American Bandstand, Solid Gold, and The Merv Griffin Show, among others. The song's dramatic, theatrical style and range was a vocal showcase, and it was not uncommon for talent show contestants, such as those on Star Search, to tackle "Solitaire". It was a favorite of a very young Celine Dion, who performs the song in a rare televised clip. Dion would go on to release two other Branigan songs ("Unison" and "The Power of Love") in the 1990s, and Branigan would return the honor by recording "If That's What It Takes" in 2000 for what would be her final album.
