[@stevehary5183]

She had an incredibly powerful voice, like that of Celine Dion or Maria Carey. Unfortunately at that time, producers were looking more for groups than for single singers. Which explains these difficult beginnings. But everything changed after meeting her husband, thanks to him and his support she managed to get a contract with “Altantic Record”. Afterwards, his talent did the rest. The last few years have been very difficult for her, she has never really gotten over the death of her husband. He was his protector, as long as he was there everything went well. I think that towards the end of her life she was quite alone to take care of her affairs and herself. After a serious accident falling from a ladder, she got back on stage thanks to a lot of courage and work. At the end of the video, we see her at home with her mother on the living room sofa. This allows us to see the real Laura Branigan: a simple, shy girl who is very close to her mother. Her mother's illness (form of Alzheimer's) was surely one battle too many for a woman whose health has been weakened by various life accidents. What I find unfair is that a few years after his disappearance all his personal belongings were sold at auction (letters, photos, furniture, clothes, diary, etc.). It's sad because she had to hold on to it, she probably wouldn't have wanted all of this to be made public, it was her secret garden. She is now in paradise, surrounded by her husband and her mother around a good meal that she prepared. RIP Laura, Forever young.

Such a beautiful person. I never go much time without listening to the Self Control album. Gloria is an absolute magical piece of music.

Gloria is a very ancient/classic song that i listened in an italian radio, its obvious the song existed much before Laura Branigan came up with her version

[@Hawthorne-Studios]

Bold claims, but interesting ones too.

Great voice. Great songs. Such an untimely loss. She'll always be missed as one of the great singers of the 80's. Love "Gloria" and "Self control".
