I Found Someone

"I Found Someone" is the name of a chart single originally written and composed for Laura Branigan by Michael Bolton and Touch keyboardist Mark Mangold.

Though best known for "Gloria", "Solitaire" and "Self Control", Laura Branigan had previously had a major hit introducing the ballad "How Am I Supposed to Live Without You", also jointly written and composed by Bolton, who also later recorded and released his own version of it.

Without a music video to support it, Branigan's version received only minor success,[1] peaking at number 90 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Fashion photographer Harry Langdon's half-size cover photo featured a dark ¾ length shot of Branigan dressed in black with diamonds dripping from her ears, looking evasively down to her side in front of a shadowy purple background.

Fashion photographer Matthew Rolston's full cover photo featured a slightly overexposed close-up of Cher's face, gazing into the lens as she pushes back a mane of tight curls before a bright blue background.

[11] "I Found Someone" began a three-album association with Bolton and Cher's other contributors, including Branigan alumna Diane Warren as well as Jon Bon Jovi and future boyfriend Richie Sambora, and their song-writing partner Desmond Child.
