Saw Michael recently in Easton, PA (great concert, by the way - those vocal lessons I gave him sure have paid off) and got to meet Brian BecVar, a warm and personable guy and, obviously, an incredible musician.  Interestingly, Brian explained that he had also been Laura Branigan's accompanist (for six years, I believe, he said).  In fact, since learning this, I've realized that he's featured in a couple of her videos on this site.  In other words, as Brian pointed out, he's been playing "How Am I Supposed To Live Without You" for a long, long time.  Come to think of it, the world does go in circles because Laura once remarked to me how much she loved the guy playing piano for her.  After meeting Brian and hearing him play, it's easy now to see why.
