Laura Branigan at VH1 "Where Are They Now?" - October 4, 2002

[@javelin1010]

Laura died in her sleep at her mother's home less than two years after this video was made. RIP sweet lady and voice.

[@rachaelclarke9951]

That's really sad

[@ComputerLearning0]

@Aran Rasekhi ...And?

[@devinbunn2111]

...and more than a decade later, Gloria would become an unofficial anthem to a city. Sad that Laura was not around to see it.

[@nathan.brazil780]

IIRC she was complaining of headaches for some time before that and died of an Aneurysm...

[@tjrox]

Jimmy Bergman Good gravy.

[@MBlac777]

I am glad they published this. She was a great singer and a great human to sacrifice popularity to take care of her sick husband. May she be remembered for the joy she brought to those of us who danced in the 80's.

[@jeanforichon]

She seemed to be a very sweet person. Just the fact she took care of her dying husband shows great character and love for people. it is sad she died so young.

[@HalfLifeAMD]

jean forichon I was thinking that too, shes a really nice person.

[@sixstring5630]

jean forichon So true, but why wouldn't she care for her sick husband if she was able?

[@lucientintenebris7331]

Tom S Sick elderly Mom, dying husband, raising children - all that made her realize what is important in life and never looked back. Fame never got to her. She had her priorities right.

[@lucientintenebris7331]

So sad that we lost her before she could make her comeback dream come true.

[@cstbrent81]

Your hit song Gloria is helping the St Louis Blues this year...in the Cup Finals for the first time in 49 years. They were in last place Jan 3, got a new coach, and played Gloria in the locker room after each win. Now on the verge of the Stanley Cup! Thank you Laura! LETS GO BLUES! Play Gloria boys.

[@carlhopkinson]

It's really funny seeing her relaxing on the couch in house shorts with her mom and then belting out "Gloria" as loud and clear as a trumpet blast.

[@shirmaviechweg3176]

Truly one of the best voices of all time,! Rip songbird, your beautiful voice is missed

[@originaldeftom]

She reminds me of Celine, not only vocally (in terms of key only, not in terms of tone/ colour of voice or emotive quality) but also in term of her love for the simpler things in life and her love for her family and close friends. She wasn't a diva going to parties or demanding special treatments. She was so incredibly humble and that made her so special I think.

[@simonecadorette6510]

This video was surreal. The ladder she speaks of was at my father's home in upstate New York. They were dating at the time. I am probably one of the few people that have a copy of that new album. She gave it to me before it was released. Due to her passing it was never released. R.I.P. Laura.

[@raftash5279]

Wow. thats very surreal. Do you ever think you'll upload that album to KZbin or just keep it as a family secret?

Total package!! Gifted with pretty face,fragile physique and distinctive voice!! I was so in love with this woman since I Waz in my elementary years! My elder sister used to sing her songs as part of her repertoire as a local artist band vocalist in our town that's how I've got into it!! I love you and miss you so much Laura!! I'd just stumbled Abt ur demised and I was sooo Soo saddened!!rest in paradise my love!

[@ericagovea2262]

Yes she was RIP and that era will never be repeated but we still have there songs long live Gloria

[@rjmcallister1888]

Fell in love with that voice on an early single, "All Night with Me" and played it at KFTW. Atlantic sent me a copy of the LP, and I fell in love all over again. By the way, that 1990 'unknown', self-titled LP, produced what might be my favorite song of hers, "Never in a Million Years". That song still stops me today, and not just because she's gone. Stayed that way; still in love today. Be at rest, Laura, knowing we do love you.

[@Monster_Mover_Stocks]

Hard to believe that roughly 2 years later, she would die in her sleep at age 92. She was one of the greatest vocalists of all time.

Born: July 3, 1952, New York; Died: August 26, 2004, 52 years of age.

I think she was 52 .....check ur sources

[@Steve98NYy12550]

She was reported as 47 when she died but over a decade later it was revealed she did what most people in Hollywood do, lie about their age. She was actually five years older. Some reporter dug up old school records to confirm it.

[@marcsonnenberg623]

She died at 52.

[@tommi200561]

Oh Laura, you'll never know how much joy and pleasure your music brought me. Some of the happiest nights of my life were spent dancing to your music. I bought everything you released here in the UK, and always felt your record company didn't do enough to promote your singles (The Lucky One & Spanish Eddie, for example) and back you as an artist - shame on you Atlantic records. I'll be a Laura fan till i take my last breath. R.I.P beautiful lady.

Well here I am on the beach back in 1960 in Atlantic City by the boardwalk, I've seen a lot of rock and roll bands in my life and was just skipping through some songs and ran across the song called Power of Love and was song sung by a girl by the name of Jennifer Rush, who also wrote the song and did a fantastic job and then I ran across another girl I didn't even Laura Branigan who had a famous song back in the 80s called Gloria I remember this song like the back of my hand, she also recorded the song Power of Love and did a fantastic job with it, I'm just so sorry that I had to find out that she passed away at a young age of 47 years old, didn't know much about her but now I do and I do believe she was a fantastic woman and what a shame, looks like she had a heart of gold and to lose her life at such a young age it's devastating, may God be with you Laura forever and ever just remember you got your word across To All the Girls by the name of Gloria,.
