"How Am I Supposed To Live Without You" Laura Branigan Live

[@ZeeZeeshots]

I worked with Laura's husband many years ago.. They were so much in love. He also passed away young like her. I met her a few times.. She was so beautiful inside and out! RIP!!

[@deborahvallier9245]

That rips my heart out so sad. 😞

[@deborahvallier9245]

I could tell that she was hurting bad.

[@bandbase2]

I am the bass player in this video. I worked with Laura for 3 years. She nearly always cried when she sang this song.

[@BrodyMcCain]

bandbase2 how did you end up being the bass player on this song? You gave a beautiful performance. How did you learn the song?

[@SantiagoSanMiguel]

The great Steve York.

[@monacobenedict8991]

You're awesome! RIP Laura❤

[@amirnvbnteh4308]

😢😢😢

[@goodfaith5827]

I'm sixty-eight years old Laura was born in 1952, I was born in 1954, I was lucky enough to see over 60 top name bands, she is the only one I ever seen cry! I hope everyone shares her beautiful being with the younger generations!❤

[@ColbaltChaos]

She is Crying, and feeling every word she sings.........She is a goddess, and we will never see another like her! God Bless you Laura. You have brought me through many trials and celebrations.

[@AtLastOnTheGround]

She had a supreme voice, I've never heard anything like it since. It's a shame barely anyone knows who she is nowadays.

[@ramishrambarran3998]

And I always preferred her version of this song rather than Michael Bolton's. Trinidad & Tobago. West Indies.

[@willhill2003]

I will never forget the evening when I attended her concert at the New Orleans World's Fair. I was dressed in my Navy summer jumpers for the concert, my sister had gotten my ticket for me on the thid row, center stage. Laura saw me sitting there and took a moment from her preformance to recognize those of us in the Armed Forces. She asked me to stand which I did. Then she did something I will always remember most of all. She saluted me and the ampatheather broke out in applause. Thank you Laura

[@DouglasBalgaard]

Thanks for 📝 this.

[@krisponder8727]

Here I am again, this time mourning my dad. Laura has always been and will always be a comfort.

[@foreignfilmfan711]

She rips my heart out, yet I can’t stop looking at her beautiful, sad face, or the tears streaming down my cheeks. RIP my beautiful angel 🙏🏼

[@mwesley8397]

Laura may be shedding tears over the loss of her father? This concert is from 1982 or 83. Her husband didn't pass away until 1996. She gave up her career for more than two years to care for him. He had cancer. We can all learn something about dedication to others from Laura. Laura left us in 2004. The choir in Heaven has immensely improved since her arrival, I am sure. We look forward to hearing you again Darlin'!

[@Gregarious78999]

I think this was in 1984 Tahoe Lake Nevada

[@chindanaiwicheankittisakul7815]

love this comment.

[@robertpolnicky3262]

I listened to this song 10000 times ill bet close when lydia dumped me.

[@bienlang8712]

She's definitely an angel !

[@boomchicaboomboom]

This is such a great performance! It's very rare that you see a performer put their heart, soul, and emotions into a performance and you can physically see their emotions and hear true pain in their voice.

[@AutumnAngelAnn]

It's so hard to see her break down throughout the song. She does an amazing job while crying her heart out. Miss you Laura!

[@priscillaly8440]

Ann Smithsonian its because she singing to her husband who died of a disease 😭

[@robertpolnicky3262]

I had more trouble with my self breaking down. When i listened to it after i got dumped.

[@TheProtestantPope]

@iamme25yago Then probably this was sung when he was already struck by teminal cancer which would've explained her being heavily emotional in this performance.

[@SantiagoSanMiguel]

​Her husband died in 1996. This concert was in 1984.

[@elemmayo2602]

How are we supposed to live without Laura?

[@sxippydennison3577]

She just tore my heart in two 💔, this performance is so candidly raw, I almost feel indecent for experiencing her spirit.

[@benclassified9451]

She had a unique 4 octave voice that nobody has ever been able to duplicate! Awesomely talented.

[@krazybandnerd08]

I love this song SO much!!! Her voice is absolutely amazing and when she was crying at the end, I just almost lost it. It just made me feel upset because she died so young. RIP Laura Branigan

[@roxxanedtroyt1744]

she is singing with real emotion, as in she just divorced, broke up someone died etc.. wow.. made me cry.

[@cruyeda]

+Roxxane D'troyt Her husband had died before this concert.

[@steveyork6722]

+cruyeda Not true, Her husband was still alive and well He died a few years later. the truth is, that like many great singers, Laura was also a good actress and knew how to really feel the song!

[@stormylane]

+Roxxane D'troyt I'd heard her husband was ill and she was giving up music to stay home and take care of him.

[@brucepowell9252]

+stormylane Yes, he was terminally ill, and she was very emotional knowing she would lose him.

[@michaelhare7650]

I saw Laura perform in South Africa in the mid 80's and I still remember the emotion of the concert. Her versions of this song and Ti Amo were so personal and heartfelt. She must have gone through a really difficult time after her loss. Still love her music to this day.

If I was an artist I would paint a picture of the place where Laura sheds the "TEAR" in this video. It is very moving. This is one of the best music videos anywhere!!! Laura....our QUEEN of HEART!!!

[@lynnt7717]

There is something about this song that must remind Laura of a difficult time (or several) in her life. She seems to always fight back the tears every time she sings it live. It is a comfort to know that there is no sadness in Heaven. A place where the Angelic choir is surely much-improved since her arrival, We miss'ya Darlin' (sooo very much)!!!

[@user-xz2se6bj4u]

She always makes me cry..... We lost her so many years ago and that sucks.. One of the best vocalist ever

[@bobingi]

Those were real tears....she sang it as she lived it.

[@phoebedevereaux6139]

I am also a singer, and I am adding this song to my band repertoire, in memory of Laura. She and I have the same range and timbre of voice, so I promise I won't ruin it.

[@TheGunfighter45]

Such a beautiful voice...and a beautiful woman...and such emotion! The only woman who can put tears in my eyes....for her. You just know she feels every word she sings deeply in her heart. God rest her soul.

[@lisaash2381]

great song😇

[@priscillaly8440]

Vladimir Solaratov it’s because she singing to her husband she lost 😭

[@coopdaytonesqosj1724]

She gave so much of herself. I suppose in the end she left her best part. We'll never forget this great woman and artist.

[@mwesley8397]

Laura was sweet and child-like. She was showered with flowers after her concerts. Her sense of humor and dedication to others was also legendary (a generous soul). Some of her best songs were Your Love, Find Me, Love is Forever and Tokio. There are so many other great tunes as well. Enjoy Heaven Darlin'! We'll always remember you.

[@LousivilleLady40214]

She must have been going through something cause you can hear the pain in her voice and especially because she’s so emotional 😢

[@AlaskanEagle1990]

Even when she's choked up, she's got a terrific voice. Sad to learn that she passed on.

[@rejanekatebiase5970]

She's still alive

[@bigsmoke394]

@@rejanekatebiase5970 no she is not, have you not done your research?

[@Frank-n-Sense]

Back in the day the people who controlled music weren't afraid of REAL emotions, didn't resent people who expressed them, and didn't immediately set out to mock, scorn, and sandbag anyone who dared venture upon sincerity. Imagine that. Snarky, cynical, sarcastic controllers of what would be accepted in the social setting, wouldn't come until the early 1990's. Even still, those of us old enough to vividly recall the way we were, can chuckle to ourselves in tears of defiance and memories that can never be taken away.

[@rburrhead]

In 1994, not long after the release of Over My Heart, Larry Kruteck, Branigan's husband (m. 1978), was diagnosed with colon cancer. Branigan refused to accept the medical prognosis, and left the music industry to devote her attention to him. Branigan put Kruteck on herbal treatments, eventually nursing him full-time. Kruteck survived for another two and a half years and died on June 15, 1996 in New York.

[@MrAerialsound]

This must have taken place not long after her husband past. She fought thru the song with undeniable passion and soul. Heartbreaking.

[@lisaharvey4542]

I lived this song but i never asked the question. It has consumed my life because i never figured out the answer.

[@Dahyle55]

Thank God for KZbin...what a stunning voice and talent and so wonderful that we can hear her again. Gone so young, why not make a movie of her life. I wonder if Celine would be here if Laura had not come first. Thanks for posting.

[@charlescull7600]

Yeah it sucks that she is gone. She is so good, and doesn't even have to try.

A lot of people sang this song after Laura recorded it, but her version is still the best. R.I.P., Laura Branigan.

[@kzoobob]

Her husband passed away. Very sad and now Laura has gone to join him 5 years ago. A voice that so few are blessed to have leaves us great emotional music.

[@mrtubesteak2]

I made a mistake when I watched this video--it laid me open, once again, to such pain and loneliness because I lost my wife to cancer only 94 days ago. I know Ms. Branigan lost her husband before she, too, left us suddenly. But at least she's with him once again. I have prayed that God would take me, too, but it hasn't happened yet. So now I pray that my wife waits for me and saves me a place beside her when it's my turn for the Lord to take me home. So much pain.

[@westonweigand1228]

Love is energy it's never lost... Bless you.

[@paulbrown8370]

She did a fantastic job on this song. Really great!!!

[@chriskimmel7252]

She's the 1st one that's playing this song. She came out with this long first. Michael Bolton wrote it for her. He later sang it but first but he wrote it for her So it's her song.

[@rickdimarzo6590]

She was one of my favorite artists. She died way to soon.

[@lacomediadelsultan3943]

Laura had one of the most incredible voices ever. This interpretation is one of the most heartfelt songs I have ever heard in my life. She was also a beautiful women and a precious soul

[@iraggari5491]

Everytime i heard this song i remembered this wonderfull woman who died 2 years and 2 days after my brother, i hope they continue take care about us, and of course never dsapered this kind of videos whit this georgeos voice, thanks to god and to their parents to bring her to the world.. regards to her family. When i was eigth years old, i heard Gloria´s songn and i´m felt in love with her...and still i'm. :)

So much better then the generic pop princesses we have today

[@bushbaby001]

I dedicate this song to my dear and loving friend, Ursula who is and was just as beautiful as Laura, herself. She died 4 weeks ago and I miss her so much! I cannot stop loving her or missing her and wish she knew how important she is...not only in my life but to many others in the small village in which she lived. She is a true Child of God...thank you Ursula for loving me and being my closest friend.. All my Love, Bridgette xoxooxo
