She was one of my favorites. Loved her. But I wouldn't say she was young. Young is being in youth. She still lived a full life. Not the same as, say, Amy Winehouse. A better term would be, "too soon" or "untimely," to convey the fact that they didn't die of old age. People confuse untimely with young.
@@dammar117 52 yrs old may not be 25, but it's still young. Too young to be in the ground. There are ppl, who live to be 80, 90 yrs old even 100+. This what's called a full life. Strokes, and aneurysms just like cancer, steal lives. I don't know what ur definition of a full life is; but it definitely isn't the same as mine. That was only HALF, her life. U must be very young😒
@@dammar117this is why they say: youth is wasted on the young. I don't know how old u are, but if u didn't know that 50yrs is half a life, especially in a society where ppl are living longer bc of better health care... then I don't know what to tell u. I hope u get to have a long life. Only then, will u know what I'm talking abt.😒😒
@@Decgyrrl I am over 50. And no, 50 is not half a life. Very few people get to live to 100, that's delusional. With good genetics, healthy lifestyle and luck, you get to live til your 80s, maybe early 90s. But a lot of people die of cancer, stroke or heart attack in their 50s, 60s or 70s. Another thing is, even if you live til 100, the last 20 years of that is probably in poor conditions. I may have 40 years ahead of me, but realistically, only 20 good years. If I'm lucky. Most people on my maternal side die in their 50s and 60s. Not to mention that I have the normal aches and pains of growing older, and am no longer pursued by men. So, no, I definitely don't entertain the delusion that I am young. That's preposterous.
Laura had a voice many of today's top vocalists could only hope for. Her range was phenomenal!! Grew up with LB back in the 70's and 80's. Was truly saddened at the news of her passing.
Laura had an incredible & powerful voice & every time I hear “Gloria” it moves me & I want to dance..which I did on many occasions when I was younger (I’m 80 now)…she left us far too soon..my son passed at 52 years also
Didn't know the cause of her death. A "Gloria" took me to the emotional cleaners after killing out little girl, she left me for a married man, breaking our relationship and destroying his marriage. Why? She wanted him cause he was sterile and she didn't want any more than the 3 kids she'd already had by 2 guys before I came along. Boy was I naive' as all get out.😢
Her spirit is very much still alive, the soul never dies. She had a great relationship with her husband. I think losing Larry may have deteriorated her health that lead to the aneurysm, died on her sleep. She did spend time caring for him during his cancer illness. Somewhere I still have a great photo of them. "The Power of Love," for me, was her best song. I loved her and her raspy voice. Man did her voice have amazing power. Broke my heart that she died. She had all things going her way, then it all went south. Ugh. 💖💫🙏🦋🌱🌎
I was shocked to read a couple years ago that she'd died at the age she did back in 04, i figured she'd just kind of retired from the public view. She was gorgeous that's for sure.
I was listening to Gloria by Laura Branigan three weeks ago and my 42 years old son asked me where he could go see her perform. I almost broke down when I told him she had passed many years ago.
When I saw the video, I figured it was a recent death. Wouldn't have figured on 20 years ago. You can't help get a bit enthused when "Gloria" comes up, but I never got beyond that.
Her voice had amazing range, like none other. Laura had a fabulous stage presence, beautiful without looking trashy. The Tahoe concert is my favorite. I believe she is now performing in Heaven.
@@Nan-1017 oh I was around, but she wasn’t! I will look we up to see where she compares to all who sang in the 80s. Diffidently not top 10! More like 50 or lower.
@@MichaelAllan-mh9fh yea. Probably you are right. I just meant I definitely remember hearing her in the 80’s. Some people compared her to Donna Summer. Idk about that, but Laura did have a powerfully beautiful voice though:)
So true and she was never highly honoured to the extent like Tina Turner whose voice was no match to Laura. People in this world do not always do things fairly. Tina Turner had an ugly voice and she said she did not like her voice. She just workex with it. Imagine that is the kind of voice ppl screaming for. I was not her fan. I was definately a fan lf Laura and the next power house voice Whitney Houston.. RIP beautiful ladies
1994, when her husband was diagnosed with colon cancer, she put her career on hold to take care of him. going the herbal route, he passed 2 1/2 yrs later. She was complaining of headaches, but never had them looked at, and passed away in her sleep 8/26/04. There's a video on here somewhere of her at a fair in front of an intimate audience singing to like a karake machine, gauging on the reaction for her comeback tour.
Well, it's too bad she didn't live to an older age, but, to die in your sleep seems the absolute best way to go. Rather than being in a care home and someone changing your diapers multiple times a day, feeling trapped in your aging body. I hope when it's my time, I go just like she went out, in my sleep.
I went through the same thing. I was getting headaches and would take an aspirin every morning. It seemed to usually work. I really thought it was just being under stress. I wish I would have gone the the VA and had a cat scan. I was taking care of my dad at the time who had late stage dementia with my sister. She called me at like 2 or 3am. She said could you go help dad he thinks he’s lost in a foreign building. We had both moved in to share in taking care of him. I don’t remember that night but I guess I got him to go back to sleep and left to go to Walmart. On the way I crashed into some woods. Lucky someone saw me crash. The police report stated when the police asked me if I was in pain I said my head hurts. I was helicoptered to a local hospital and then to Shane’s in Gainesville. I had two brain aneurysms and one had obviously burst. It was so incredibly painful after the surgery that the only comfort was to fall asleep. But they only let me sleep an hour at a time before waking me back up and if I wanted to I could fall back asleep but only for an hour. I didn’t mind but the pain medicine did absolutely nothing to touch the constant migraine level headaches. Because I complained about the pain even after a month later they talked about possibly doing another surgery. I literally started to fake like I was getting better. I just wanted to get out of there and try some aspirin. Also when I got out nobody would fill my pain prescription for a bloody aneurysm!!!!!
Thanks for covering Ms Brannigan’s career and untimely death. We really saw her as a lovely representative of NY’s Hudson Valley region and culture. We were sad when she died; it was upsetting to know her death was preceded by two straight weeks of awful headaches. RIP Laura.
Even today, whenever I see her, she's still so beautiful that, for some reason, I can't explain it. She had that incredible magnetism and aura. Her eyes were so mesmerizing!
The most glorious, beautiful, and talented musicians died young at the prime of their lives, just shows that art is pain when it comes to struggling with one's self.
She was definitely amazing she was very faithful to her husband that passed on before her she never remarried her she took care of her adopted children and then she passed away. God what a women.
This beautiful woman had one of the best voices i have ever heard in my life. I love listening to her to this day! Beautiful voice to go along with a beautiful person!
Both Gloria and Self control weren't her songs, but covers. Self control was written by an Italian singer, Raf. Gloria was also a song written by an Italian artist, Umberto Tozzi.
She has been one of my all-time favorite singers. From what I have read about her, she left the music industry to take care of her husband who had cancer. A few years after he passed away, she did go back to making music.
A beautiful spirit and a beautiful soul and for women she took center stage. The energy that she sung her songs with was unrivaled for those that could see you a beautiful person, my lifetime. I'll never forget her. Love you, Laura❤❤❤
I had a brain aneurysm and I’ll tell you this. No eternal reward will forgive us now for wasting the dawn!! Oops that was the Doors. Anyway if you start getting headaches and you’re able to get a cat scan. The pain from an aneurysm is the worst. It’s like getting hit in the head with a hammer by a bodybuilder. I had a migraine for 4 months after my surgery. Then I still had a headache for a couple months after that. But finally it slowed and stopped after another month. I actually had two aneurysm’s but the one that burst was huge my surgeon said. I don’t wish that on anyone.
I remember Laura. We used to always play her records in our flat.We would sit back with some green. And a cupple of beers and listen to Laura Branigan. Those were the good old days. She had a beautiful voice
Laura Ann Branigan (July 3, 1952[nb 1] - August 26, 2004) was an American singer. Her signature song, the platinum-certified 1982 single "Gloria", stayed on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 for 36 weeks, then a record for a female artist, peaking at No. 2. It also reached number one in Australia and Canada. Branigan's "Gloria" was a cover of a song written by Italian singer-songwriters Giancarlo Bigazzi and Umberto Tozzi. In 1984, she reached number one in Canada and Germany with the U.S. No. 4 hit "Self Control", which was released by Italian singer and songwriter Raf the same year. Both "Gloria" and "Self Control" were successful in the United Kingdom, making the Top 10 in the UK Singles Chart. Seeing her greatest level of success in the 1980s, Branigan's other singles included the Top 10 hit "Solitaire" (1983), the U.S. Adult Contemporary Chart number one "How Am I Supposed to Live Without You" (1983), the Australian No. 2 hit "Ti amo" (1984), her return to the top 40 "The Power of Love" (1987), and "Shattered Glass" (1987), which reached the top 15 of the U.S. dance chart. Her most successful studio album was 1984's platinum-selling Self Control. She also contributed songs to motion picture and television soundtracks, including the Grammy and Academy Award-winning Flashdance soundtrack (1983), the Ghostbusters soundtrack (1984), and Miami Vice (1984). In 1984, she won the Tokyo Music Festival with the song "The Lucky One". Her chart success began to wane as the decade closed and after her last two studio albums Laura Branigan (1990) and Over My Heart (1993) garnered little attention, she generally retired from public life for the rest of the 1990s.[2] She returned to performing in the early 2000s, most notably appearing as Janis Joplin in the off-Broadway musical Love, Janis. As she was recording new music and preparing a comeback to the music industry, she died at her home in August 2004 from a previously undiagnosed cerebral aneurysm.[3] Branigan and her music saw renewed popularity and public interest in 2019 in the U.S. after "Gloria" was adopted by the NHL's St. Louis Blues as their unofficial victory song while they completed a historic mid-season turnaround to win their first Stanley Cup in franchise history, leading to the song entering ice hockey lore as an "unlikely championship anthem".[4] Branigan's legacy manager and representative Kathy Golik embraced the trend and traveled to St. Louis to publicly represent Branigan among the Blues fanbase during the 2019 Stanley Cup Playoffs, later stating her belief that Branigan and "Gloria" "will forever be intertwined" with the Blues and the city of St. Louis
Angels are amongst us. We don't see till they gone. When we know angel was amongst us. We gasp in disbelief. So Laura was one of those angels. She brought happiness and brought soulfully loving music. That was our angel we never new about. Forever loved.. forever missed... Forever being with you.. ❤❤
She was beautiful
Absolutely.
She was gorgeous and had a gorgeous voice too.
She has Irish eyes.
Irish beauty is unique in all the world. She looks like the prettiest girls in Dublin, Cork and Belfast. She's a 10.
She was a real star
Thank you for remembering her. She had a fantastic voice. Not much press when she died as I remember.
My pleasure!
Yes, I heard about it after a radio station had played her record, some 15yrs later!
I happened across a brief item about her passing, I still recall. Miss the lady. Now, I'm considerably older than she was when she left us😟
I loved her music , she is singing in heaven now I’m sure 🕊️🌿💯
Yeah not much said at all, sad really.
She also took care of her sick husband which she chose over her career.
Beautiful inside and out
I actually still have her album from the 80's she had a great voice and beautiful smile
Kool!
Rest In Peace, Laura. You are still alive in the heart of millions of people who enjoy listening your song.
Thank goodness we still have her music!
She was beautiful RIP dearest beauty🥀
Wait, what ?
I, I live among the creatures of the night
I haven't got the will to try and fight
Against a new tomorrow
So I guess I'll just believe it
That tomorrow never comes.
You think she has a phone in her grave and reading this? Dumb
At 58, I've had the unpleasant reality of watching most of my favorite celebs and musicians from the 70's and 80's pass on😢
I'm 50 and I'm watching everyone drop like flies. It sucks how the world is losing so much talent and that talent isn't be replaced.
Wait it get worse when you're in your 70s
Keith Richards will out live us all
Sadly happens. We are all getting closer to meeting the Grim Reaper 💀💀

Such a tragic loss at such a young age. Incredibly talented and absolutely beautiful ❤
My overall favorite female singer of the 1980's. Awesome voice and some songs that helped define the decade. "Self Control" is still in my head.
Not Linda Ronstadt, huh?
Yeah It Was From The Trailer 10th anniversary gta vice City Rest In Peace.
Her two hits " Gloria " and " Self control " were the covers of italian disco songs from Giancarlo Bigazzi and Umberto Tozzi . Beautiful voice .
This is so sad. She was a very talented person. I used to love dancing to Gloria. Rest easy now sister 💖❤️🙏🇬🇧

One of those songs was a Michael Bolton song.

I had no idea she passed away 😔. The 80s was filled with great music and she was apart of it. RIP Laura thank you for the great memories
What a loss.she was great,I sang to her songs in the 80s😢❤
Sie war wirklich eine ausgesprochen gut aussehende Frau und eine hervorragende Sängerin . Schade das sie uns schon so früh hat verlassen müssen .❤😢
I don't know what you just said, but if you have a sad face emoji at the end, I agree.
Gloria was my dad's favorite song. I miss him a lot. He died at 65.
I still rock out to Gloria and Self Control frequently. I'm 49
Great songs, I'm sorry for your loss.
@@EdCollects Thank you
Rip I remember her songs and her. Beautiful. Smile
Yes I loved her in the 80's. Sad she died so young. I didn't even know she died. 😥
Gone way too soon 😔
No Promise No Guarantee is my fave Laura Branigan song. Her voice is like a wrecking ball. It smashes the notes!
I had a brain aneurysm and I’ll tell you this. No eternal reward will forgive us now for wasting the dawn!! Oops that was the Doors. Anyway if you start getting headaches and you’re able to get a cat scan. The pain from an aneurysm is the worst. It’s like getting hit in the head with a hammer by a bodybuilder. I had a migraine for 4 months after my surgery. Then I still had a headache for a couple months after that. But finally it slowed and stopped after another month. I actually had two aneurysm’s but the one that burst was huge my surgeon said. I don’t wish that on anyone.
Oh wow, that sounds horrible! I'm glad you're OK now!
God bless you🙏♥️
Sorry you had to endure that.
@@larrytate4586 thanks!

Laura Ann Branigan (July 3, 1952[nb 1] - August 26, 2004) was an American singer. Her signature song, the platinum-certified 1982 single "Gloria", stayed on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 for 36 weeks, then a record for a female artist, peaking at No. 2. It also reached number one in Australia and Canada. Branigan's "Gloria" was a cover of a song written by Italian singer-songwriters Giancarlo Bigazzi and Umberto Tozzi. In 1984, she reached number one in Canada and Germany with the U.S. No. 4 hit "Self Control", which was released by Italian singer and songwriter Raf the same year. Both "Gloria" and "Self Control" were successful in the United Kingdom, making the Top 10 in the UK Singles Chart.
Seeing her greatest level of success in the 1980s, Branigan's other singles included the Top 10 hit "Solitaire" (1983), the U.S. Adult Contemporary Chart number one "How Am I Supposed to Live Without You" (1983), the Australian No. 2 hit "Ti amo" (1984), her return to the top 40 "The Power of Love" (1987), and "Shattered Glass" (1987), which reached the top 15 of the U.S. dance chart. Her most successful studio album was 1984's platinum-selling Self Control. She also contributed songs to motion picture and television soundtracks, including the Grammy and Academy Award-winning Flashdance soundtrack (1983), the Ghostbusters soundtrack (1984), and Miami Vice (1984). In 1984, she won the Tokyo Music Festival with the song "The Lucky One".
Her chart success began to wane as the decade closed and after her last two studio albums Laura Branigan (1990) and Over My Heart (1993) garnered little attention, she generally retired from public life for the rest of the 1990s.[2] She returned to performing in the early 2000s, most notably appearing as Janis Joplin in the off-Broadway musical Love, Janis. As she was recording new music and preparing a comeback to the music industry, she died at her home in August 2004 from a previously undiagnosed cerebral aneurysm.[3]
Branigan and her music saw renewed popularity and public interest in 2019 in the U.S. after "Gloria" was adopted by the NHL's St. Louis Blues as their unofficial victory song while they completed a historic mid-season turnaround to win their first Stanley Cup in franchise history, leading to the song entering ice hockey lore as an "unlikely championship anthem".[4] Branigan's legacy manager and representative Kathy Golik embraced the trend and traveled to St. Louis to publicly represent Branigan among the Blues fanbase during the 2019 Stanley Cup Playoffs, later stating her belief that Branigan and "Gloria" "will forever be intertwined" with the Blues and the city of St. Louis
I loved her music! May she rest in peace!
Loved Laura, RIP..
Angels are amongst us.
We don't see till they gone.
When we know angel was amongst us.
We gasp in disbelief.
So Laura was one of those angels.
She brought happiness and brought soulfully loving music.
That was our angel we never new about.
Forever loved.. forever missed...
Forever being with you..
❤❤
Damn evil aneurisms, she was suffering from severe headaches but didnt bother doing anything about it. Self Control is one of the 80s best songs.
