[@vitaliecires1239]

Thank you very much for the Beautiful Music !!! I like the Musical Couple LAURA BRANIGAN and REX SMITH 1983 !!! Congratulations !!!

[@richardstjames-dj1yv]

I would have paid all I had to see in my opinion THE GREATEST MALE VOCALIST OF ALL TIME {STEVE PERRY} and THE GREATEST FEMALE VOCALIST OF ALL TIME{ LAURA BRANNIGAN) perform together. THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN PRICELESS!!!!!

[@Ivan-hh1fu]

Richard, glad to see i'm not the only 1 who thinks that Laura was the greatest female vocalist of all time! Laura, we miss you!! RIP

[@RUDYNATACHA]

Laura is in my top three favorite vocalists--Scherrie Payne, Kate Bush, Laura Branigan, Anastacia, Susaye Greene. Steve Perry is my second choice for best male vocalist, with first choice being ANYBODY ELSE.

[@ROBERTO-mx1cx]

Rex Smith is a great singer too! Not as much as Steven but is a good performer

[@davidbakko6082]

Laura was the best, we all miss her very much now, rip laura is with and her mom and dad and is singing with the angels

[@MeadeSkeltonMusic]

@@RUDYNATACHA Elvis is the best singer

[@hayleyrosewilkinson6537]

If Laura was still alive she'd slay this song if she did a full cover version of it. She was a talented singer who was taken away too soon. 😪

[@MeadeSkeltonMusic]

No. Steve Perry can't be beat on this song.

[@reddragon3733]

When Laura and Rex are singing, Laura's voice is so powerful that you can't even hear Rex anymore. I like Rex he has a good voice but anyone singing next to Laura branigan has a challenge on the hands. There are only a few singers in history that have the range and power of Laura branigan.

[@Laserdreamz]

When you are talking about the greatest ever female vocalists you have to bring Laura Brannigan into the conversation.

[@chaitomalabcad4303]

Excellent duet

[@chaitomalabcad4303]

Excellent IDOL Laura,we miss you so much

[@shirleysusann2400]

Trop COOL REX pour le BiSOUS donner à LAURA. Good bye. BISOUS pour tout le monde. NATHY. ♡♥♡♥♡♥♡♥♡

[@deagoldylocks8337]

Waaa!0o0! I was not expecting the kiss at the end:D Tho I found his reaction very amusing. ;)

[@81pascamp]

he is an excellent singer. I see a lot of envy in the comments of Rex's talent.

[@utsavghosh5035]

He is the Lucky one

[@multibucker]

He's corny.... she's timeless. ;)

[@Blendre]

I hate this song but Laura made me like it.

[@runandplay]

+Blendre I love how he's singing it to the audience as if he were on Broadway (big and dramatic) and she's all full of unrequited love for the lover who's slipping away. It's like 2 different songs. lol

[@Blendre]

Great point. She was one of a kind.

[@rayva1]

Only Journey can pull it off.

[@eccesignumrex4482]

I think there's a fire backstage -

[@jojoheartspaypay]

I knocked solid gold as a kid, over stuff like this. NOW I WANT IT BACK😿

[@domshaheen7356]

Imagine Laura covering a bunch of other famous songs OR (hat-tip Richard St James below) duets with the original artists.

[@MrCraigblaze]

And Lisa Hartman Black sung this song on knots landing too.. XD

[@trumetalheadonmauiey9715]

Rex Smith looks like the bass player in Stone Fury.

[@wheresthegirlmitchell9475]

So, the kiss at the end looks like more than just a kiss! Were they an "item" back in the day?

[@runandplay]

Many considered Rex lucky, to score a kiss. But, no, they were familiar as Rex was a host introducing Laura singing "Gloria".

[@antiphob]

solid gold mcs were rex smith, dion warwick, andy gibb and marylin mackoo.

[@giovannisocci8793]

Some songs....must only be performed by the original singer,no one should be allowed to sing Heart's songs,no one should be allowed to destroy Steve Perry's songs. As much as I love Laura,but,c mon. this is Perry's baby & only his.

[@SteveEcksteinDouglasDrive]

[@maryc7830]

You tried recreating the best, sorry it didn’t work out for me. It’s a good karaoke song in a bar After a few drinks. Just my opinion.

[@81pascamp]

very envious ✌️

[@brainhamster]

if only journey and laura could have performed this together, instead of this cheese band and terrible rex guy.

[@runandplay]

brain hamster omg, could you imagine Steve and Laura. 2 high range power voices

[@MrCraigblaze]

@@runandplay Leaving Lisa Hartman Black out in the cold ?? XD

[@81pascamp]

very envious ✌️

[@88nikita]

i love Laura but this performance is hard to hear... and who ever told this guy he can sing? he's embarrasing🤡

[@allclere3]

Rex is ruining this song
