There seems to be a problem with the two infoboxes. The Laura Brannigan version claims the song was written by "Giancarlo Bigazzi, Steve Piccolo, Raffaele Riefoli" and the Infernal version mentions "Martine Clemenceau, Diane Warren". It is the same song, so which names are correct? --Maitch 13:43, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
The original version comes from "Raffaele Riefoli", AKA "Raf", an italian singer and composer. His first song - Self Control - was in english.
From Wikipedia-ITA:
( http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raf )
"Come Raf, inizia la sua carriera nel 1983 incidendo Self Control, un brano dance che scalerà le classifiche di mezzo mondo grazie anche alla versione dell'americana Laura Branigan"
en:
"As Raf, he starts his career in 1983 releasing Self Control, a dance song that will become an international hit also thanks to the version of the american singer Laura Branigan"
It looks clear that Laura Branigan's Self Control is a "cover" from Raf's version (base is identical).
The Laura Branigan song written by "Martine Clemenceau, Diane Warren" is Solitaire, so obviously 'Infernal' referenced the wrong songwriters in their version. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.49.32.196 (talk) 21:04, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
