I Want To Know What Love Is - Laura Branigan ~ John Farnham

[@AussieDebb]

Lovely duet. Gone way too young RIP Laura ❤ John, he is just the best passionate, emotional, powerful vocalist and a wonderful human as well. Love you John ❤🎉😊

[@originaldeftom]

I love the 80ies: Big hair, big voices, big attitude, big emotions, big melodies, big riffs, big hooks, .......everything was BIG & BOLD.

[@BillieBonse]

Thomas Bauer really right words - thanks!

all the way big time my favorite !!!

[@Jesto44]

yes an all this song are live and not playback

[@craighudson60]

My favourite duet ever. I think Laura started to realise throughout the song how special this is and it lifts and lifts.

[@josephcamara4514]

the 80's were marvelous times, awesome songs and singers

[@86BarbOmega]

agreed, take me back, I was born in 1986 and only caught the end :(

John Farnham .... Best singer to ever come out of Australia. Born in England but raised a true Australian

[@rjmcallister1888]

I know what love is; she's right there with John Farnham. Forever lovely with a powerhouse of a voice, silenced far too soon.

Jesus! What a pure crystalline vocal talent Farnham is!!!

[@keirsinclair290]

I'm also just finding this now. I saw Richard Marx on Saturday night. He toasted and wished John well. I never knew Richard wrote some songs for John. John's voice suits Lou Gramm's range so so perfectly. It's actually my FAVE EVER SONG. Please find Chains around my heart sung by John (a Richard Marx song). EPIC.

[@fransmith3255]

@@keirsinclair290 According to Richard Marx, John is the best singer alive.

[@bradthurkle7217]

Wow didn’t know these two legends ever performed together. Gotta love KZbin. This is awesome. 2 powerful voices. Rip Laura she was awesome. Had so many hits. My favorite was self control.

what a great duet between these two ...they sang a wonderful version.. if this had been released as a single it might have been a big hit.. i miss laura so much.. thanks for posting this rare live performance of john and laura!!

[@williamjordan5554]

It already was a big hit for Foreigner.

[@jasonhardie111]

Totally. As big a fan of hers that i am, from when she first sang Gloria, I didn't know of this version until today, i only knew of Foreigners original, this showcases her voice to perfection.

When and how did she die? :-(

Irene MacMillan August 26, 2004. She died in her sleep of a brain aneurysm.

Can tell the connection they have by the smiles they constantly have, they enjoyed this duo

[@dorothykennett2606]

OMG! I love this..been telling people about it for years! Both have powerful voices and they blend so beautifully!

[@GoznerPeter]

Never knew they performed this together, how fucking amazing.

[@sandyorpeza2423]

I do not consider her as underrated singer. She's one of my favorite singer. During those days, the press were hostile to her because she did not indulge in 'gimmicks" where most aspiring artist do. She's a real artist.

[@craig-matthewthomas3823]

Really!? The press were hostile to Laura? Sorry I was born in 88 but adore all her songs and i have all her albums (except hold me) and I'm really interested to know more about her life could u please explain what u meant thanks

[@lamplighter1968]

I think what Sandy meant was that Laura didn't get nearly the exposure and promotion she deserved. MTV was huge in those days and they embraced the excessively flamboyant Madonna much more than Laura. Laura was all about the talent, and the connection she made with us through her music, and unfortunately, it's the fluff and gimmickry that often gets the most attention. Not that Laura didn't have a spectacular career, and amazing success, but if the industry of show business were more just, she would have had far more.

[@Finnochka]

@@lamplighter1968 Actually, to be fair, Madonna indeed had huge hits during the 80's-90's. She acted in a very provocative way, thats true, but we cannot say she wasnt talented. But one should not come at the expense of another. Both artists like Madonna and artists like Laura should have been presented on MTV, so people could enjoy all styles of music and perfomance - sexy and flamboyant, and humble and emotional. Unfortunatelly, it didnt happen... A lot of great artists were left behind and didnt get promotion they deserved... ((

[@georgemanes8295]

Wasn't underrated at all. She was loved and appreciated worldwide.

[@willa435]

@@georgemanes8295 true,she came here in Philippines to do a concert,thrice.

[@michaelbritton4119]

I'd never heard this rendition before. Thank you for posting it. Laura had such a wonderful voice. She conveyed her emotion through it. She would do this thing when she sang where her voice would crack. I always loved that and I have always tried to mimic it, not nearly as well, when I sing, and I never realized it until just now. She had an impact on me when I was becoming aware of music in my youth. Love and gratitude

[@allymayful]

Wow - goosebump stuff! Two great big voices, and a terrific song!

[@juieandersonJHLA]

Very beautiful, but another dead singer. Laura died in the '90s I believe. This was originally Foreigner's song! Nope! Curiosity got me. In 2004 she died of a stroke at 47. Why am I still here? To rejoice and be glad yes!

[@gildawitham8365]

Laura Branigan died on August 26, 2004. Brain aneurism.

[@robmiljus]

juie anderson i, myself, was almost taken by a massive stroke too. At the ripe old age of 38! Can't help but think if only she was a little younger, she would still be with us and who knows how many hit songs she would have made. RIP Miss Branigan.

[@Feniremmen1]

Interestingly, this was on tv 4~5 months before whispering jack and you’re the voice were released. John was a favourite on daytime tv, but it was a struggle for them to get mainstream support at the time and ANY tv spot would have been gold for him.

[@tonyb4115]

You get it, what a singer. And yes this was just before WJ it's amazing the groundswell of love coming for him.

[@aries898]

It’s interesting if you go through KZbin a bit, there’s a few videos of performances he did betweeen that period where he’d left LRB and whispering jack where you could swear even though he knew he was recording an album he had no idea where it would take him. All the performances from 1986 of his before WJ are covers and he has this weird shoulder pad thing going on with the bigger than normal permed hair…. Although check out his ‘wind beneath my wings’ performance from the NSWRL grand final in September 1986, you start to possibly see ‘jack’ coming out finally, however the audience appeared bored 😐
