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. Though Hold Me charted well throughout Europe, it would become Branigan's first album not to be certified at least Gold in the U.S., and the "I Found Someone" single marked the end of Branigan's four-album association with Jack White. Her next album would be produced by David Kershenbaum with two tracks by Stock/Aitken/Waterman, though Branigan would go on to record more Bolton compositions, including "I'm So Lost Without Your Love" (from her 1988 film Backstage), and "It's Been Hard Enough Getting Over You" (a cover of a song from Cher, and a single from Branigan's 1993 album Over My Heart). Branigan's recording of "I Found Someone" was remastered twice for hits collections, in 2002 for The Essentials: Laura Branigan and again in 2006 for The Platinum Collection.
Laura often is identified, erroneously, as a noir novel, and the lead character as a femme fatale. Laura Hunt, true, is smart, independent, beautiful and desirable; she has discarded the effete Waldo Lydecker to marry Shelby Carpenter; the body of Shelby's lover is found in her apartment, wearing her clothes; and, when questioned, she answers evasively. All these things throw suspicion on her; nonetheless, the plot's main tendency is to show that while circumstances have pushed Laura dangerously close to emotional chaos, she has more innate integrity than every other character in the novel, male or female: Laura's fiance, for example, is unfaithful to her even on the eve of their wedding, while her "best friend" Waldo uses insidious methods to drive her lovers away. Morally, Laura's only equal is Mark McPherson, the hardboiled detective who begins by investigating Laura's murder; then investigates Laura for murder; and finally becomes her true love and savior.
In 1940 John A. Lomax and his wife, Ruby Terrill Lomax, a professor of classics at the University of Texas at Austin, interviewed and recorded McTell for the Archive of American Folk Song of the Library of Congress in a two-hour session held in their hotel room in Atlanta. These recordings document McTell's distinctive musical style, which bridges the gap between the raw country blues of the early part of the 20th century and the more conventionally melodious, ragtime-influenced East Coast Piedmont blues sound. The Lomaxes also elicited from the singer traditional songs (such as "The Boll Weevil" and "John Henry") and spirituals (such as "Amazing Grace"), which were not part of his usual commercial repertoire. In the interview, John A. Lomax is heard asking if McTell knows any "complaining" songs (an earlier term for protest songs), to which the singer replies somewhat uncomfortably and evasively that he does not.
