Title: Your Favorite Songs Used In Movies

I ordinarily don't care much for disco, but Laura Branigan sang this song so well...

Gloria

Laura Branigan - Gloria (HQ 1080p HD Upscale) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sj7Hgi1XJU4#)



It was used for Jeanie's skating scene in Flashdance...

Tragically, both Laura Branigan and Sunny Johnson, who played Jeanie, died due to ruptured brain aneurysms.

I always loved this little part of Dazed and Confused. Ironically, it didnt make the soundtrack.
