I've read that the Christopher Cross song "Laura" is a
tribute to his girlfriend's friend (got that) from Denison college
near Columbus, Ohio. See was killed in a freak accident by a stray
bullet from a nearby shootout while in Columbus.

The song does owe its popularity I understand from being used as
theme music on a popular daytime soap.
