Laura Brannigan toured the world as a back-up singer for Leonard Cohen.
The video for her song Self Control was directed by William Friedkin, of The Exorcist fame. I seem to recall some controversy around this video.

She guest-starred on an episode of ChiPs once. The description of the episode is “Ponch and Bobby try to prevent three female rock musicians from being victimized by an unscrupulous concert promoter.” Ponch and *Bobby*? I guess Laura’s timing was a little bad with this one.
