Laura Branigan Memorial Video. August 26 2004

[@robmachado]

I produced this video for Other Half Entertainment in 2005. Thank you all for your positive comments and messages. I'm glad it is still so well received several years after it was created.

[@thenightporter]

I think the video captures the person she really seemed to be: on these photos she is posing with people who liked her as more than just a singer but as a person. In her interviews she was always warm, down to earth, vulnerable. She was a human being, not a brand, image or object as every other singer is. The photos show how much she loved people, how sensitive and empathetic she was. She reminds me of Princess Diana that way: classy, a lady, empathetic, kind, shy, wore her heart on her sleeve, vulnerable. I don't think we will ever see anyone like Laura again.

[@themadrazorback2019]

Rob, God Bless You for putting this together. She was such a Great Lady, and will NEVER be forgotten. You have contributed to that fact.

[@lingfuentes7999]

She's my ultimate Artist/Musician.

[@20891]

What songs . She mostly did covers

[@mrfrogbutt1]

One the MOST underrated voices of ALL time,brilliant performer,timeless talent and most sensational lady on stage! Laura Branigan was one of the classiest women in showbiz with so much to offer, gone WAY too soon. In an era of JUNK music and untalented pop stars we ALL miss Laura's tremendous talents! She filled us with LOVE,humanity and LIFE. I cant say that for todays trashy music scene.

Lovely video. Laura will forever live on in our hearts.♥️

[@Christian_Girl120]

I remember growing up with the 80's music, and Laura Branigan was a favorite of mine. What a gorgeous voice she had. She died on my birthday. It was heartbreaking for me and I know for many others too. Gone way too soon. RIP Laura. At least we have the memories of your beautiful voice, and your voice will live on and you will in our hearts.

[@speedracer1945]

She spent a lot of time with Her ailing Mother before passing away , a true Person who cared.

[@frankdenardo8684]

She did the same with her husband who died of cancer in 1996. Turner Classic Movies should use this song for there annual tribute of those who worked in the entertainment industry who have passed away.

[@charlesgiannone2413]

Her voice sounded like the trumpets of angels on high. She sings in heaven to all of the angels now

SELF CONTROL truly made her an artist. It was a very edgy song for the times. Great beat, great lyrics . She will be missed. RIP , young lady!

[@GrovelandJohn]

We lost a beautiful soul when we lost Laura

[@fennotheyounger]

Hi Laura - I know you hear us, when we come here to convey our feelings to you, to spend a moment hearing you, crystal clear and sweet. Can we always come to you, run to you, when our needs are just as crystal yet so unclear? Laura yes, you are always here and we will always hear you. Right here in all of our hearts, together forever, in our hearts. Laura I worked with you in Japan way back when as a lighting assistant running your spotlight. You'll never remember me but perhaps my memory of you and so many other's memories you shall never be forgotten. Ever.

[@m_christine8777]

Life is so strange.until 2 days ago,I only knew her for the song Gloria,and that she had passed away in early 2000's,and that she was in her 40's,and that I felt very sad when it happened,even though I hadn't been an avid fan.(not because I didn't like her singing;I was very distracted and busy during my 30's,and just would listen to the radio once in a while. By chance,two days ago, I happened to watch video w/ a live performance of power of love on youtube.I was not previously aware that she had recorded it .Now,after watching several videos of her performances and interviews,I feel tremendous grief by her passing away. She was a beautiful,kind,and tremendously talented angel.

[@denkisofficallover7264]

probably the best vocals of all time. she is singing with the angels.

[@jusnuts1443]

I had a crush on Laura Branigan in 1982. I was 15 years old. Now I'm 47, her age when she passed. In some ways, that seemed like a long time ago. But I remember those times like it was yesterday. I'll always remember her beautiful singing voice.

[@jusnuts1443]

***** I nearly "bought the farm" when I was 43. Took open heart surgery to replace my aortic valve in my heart to save my life. That was the second time I cheated death. I often wonder how many chances does one get??

[@jusnuts1443]

Alex Delarge I didn't know that. Still, 52 is quite young. Such a beautiful voice that she had!

[@LucioCapalbo]

She passed at 52. She was born in 1952 not 1957. The 1957 birth date is a mistake

[@eileenmaryomalley740]

Love you Laura miss you sweetie , so gorgeous with the voice of an Angel 🙏✝️💕💕🍀

[@heysirah6478]

And we still hear HER VOICE. I am grateful.

[@JERRYFREITASS]

Many years ago back in the early 2000s, I transferring my beta video collection to computer hard drives and once again I stumbled into Laura is self-control video. All I had was the video I didn't know who she was, I know that I loved the song but could not reference or index until just lately I had to listen to the old video and take sections of the audio piece by piece, each piece of this audio I post to a search and finally, was able to find Laura´s songs. And now I'm heartbroken to find that she's gone I am her age.I am blessed that I can enjoy her work. Her song self-control invokes an unusual visceral feeling.not typical of most musical enjoyment, unique only with her peace. but the good news is she lives on forever electronically, she's immortal ,the next best thing to Paradise for now.

[@sharonmundy5742]

I believe Laura Brannigan was an earth angel 😇 ❤

[@vigilanterocco381]

Oh yes. I remember her. So beautiful; such a beautiful powerful voice... I've come to the conclusion that's it's all a toss up here. Whether good, bad, rich,poor---we just can go at anytime.... However, I believe I read, at the time, that Laura had a days long headache. Usually, we take aspirin; most don't know aspirin thins out the blood and there is a danger of having a brain aneurysm. I still wonder if this is what triggered her untimely demise?..... RIP Laura Branigan. Will never forget you.

I was in love with Laura from "All Night with Me" on. She drew me in with that first single I played on little KFTW in '82 and never let go. Well, I was in love as much as one can be from many miles and having never met her in person. Beautiful in all ways, and I cannot play "Never in a Million Years" now without coming close to losing it. Thank you, darlin', and be at peace.

I was waking up by Laura's song when I was teen at around 18. I grow up with her songs. It gives me the same feeling when I listen to hear NOW! I was disconnected from the world of music since then. I have just learnt that she passed away in 2004. How sad is to see she is gone.

[@brgilbert2]

Brian Chapman] Laura Branigan was a unique talent but even more, she was a rare individual. After her husband became ill she quit singing to care for him. As you might guess he was very ill and was cared for not at a hospital but at home. By the time he passed away Laura Branigan's health was gone. It took a long time to recover after which she started a comeback. She was doing well then she became ill and never recovered. I noted all this from memory which I read many years ago. I do miss her wonderful voice.
