Today, we reflect on one of the most stunning and gifted American singers of the 1980s. Were you aware of her proficiency in Spanish singing as well? This serves as a tribute to Laura Branigan. Her full name was Laura Ann Branigan, hailing from Irish and Italian ancestry, born in New York on July 3, 1952. From a young age, she harbored a passion for both performance and music. NOTE: Both her father and grandfather died of aneurysms. She had a headache for a few days. However, she did not see a doctor. So that's what the headline is about.

One of the best evergreen.

I was fortunate to record with her. Was so sad when she passed. A beautiful soul and wonderful artist.

I remember Laura. Passed way too soon

I love Laura Branigan. Gloria and Self Control are 2 of my favourite songs ever. She is a big miss but her music will live on forever😢❤

Yep I heard she died long time ago! Sometimes the news doesn’t let ya know. Before media was so big she passed away. I always liked her song ….called !? Something about Night!? SELF CONTROL! Many greats have left us! Music now… most isn’t so good anymore!

I have 2 brain aneurysms and am scheduled for surgery next Friday. I had gone to the grocery store to pick up a couple of items and started seeing lighting bolts out of my left eye. As an RN I knew this could be a retinal detachment so I went to the ER. They did 2 CAT scans and found the aneurysms. You don't have any symptoms when you have an aneurysm or very rarely. My Dad died from multiple aneurysms as they tend to run in families. 'Gloria' was my favorite song of Laura Branigan. I'm a little older than she was at 58. May she RIP.

I'm so sorry to hear that. My sister almost died of the same thing. She was 39 at the time. So glad she's still around.

It was very sad that she passed away at such a relatively young age. I will always enjoy listening to her music. RIP Laura

Young are you fucking mad she was a old lady

How can I Help You To Say Goodbye is still one of my faves

She had such an enduring presence on the airwaves during the eighties. What a powerhouse vocalist. Yet up to now, I realize I knew so little about her.

Absolutely loved the tune Gloria. Beautiful lady with a powerful voice.

I always loved her songs!!! She was so beautiful inside and outside, full of talent like nobody else! I hope she will be an inspiration to future singers… Very missed!!!! 😢❤😢

Loved her voice and will not be forgotten!! Power of love and Tu amore are my 2 favorites!! R.I.P Laura!!

RIP Laura. I will always love your music and get goosebumps when I hear it on the radio!

Loved het music she stays a legend❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

She will always be one of my all time favorite female singers. I love Ti Amo and How Can I Help You Say Goodbye.

This woman could sing. She had true talent.

I was a big fan. She had beauty and talent and I really looked up to her. Needless to say I was devastated by her death. She is very much loved and missed 🥲💕

Was in love with her back then, self control was played in the Greek discos for at least 4 years. Hi from Greece

She was awesome! God bless her!

Laura was my favorite female singer. She had an incredible voice, and made every song she sang hers, no matter who else sang it. I was saddened when I learned about her passing; I still listen to her music and smile, thinking in of this beautiful person. My favorite song of hers is The Power of Love.

U r no longer here on earth but ur music will b forever 🎸❤️👍

WOW!!! She was a beautiful woman with a remarkable voice. A voice we all fell in love with way back in the 80s. A time when we were all young and beautiful... Thank you very much Laura for all your beautiful music. Miss you very much. From Capetown down in South Africa... ❤❤❤😢😢😢

Loved her voice

I really liked her voice and singing style. I have her albums and play them all the time!

She once asked if someone how she was supposed to live without that person. My question now. How do we live without her?

You’ve survived for many years without her.

Such a powerful voice, a beauty. You know that is Laura Branigan when you hear her unmistakable voice. Had no idea she lost her husband to cancer, 😢. We miss you Laura, God has brought you both together in a new life. God bless her family and friends. 🫶

Stepping up to support a spouse with a terminal illness shows True Love, and is a gift that exemplify’s character and commitment. ❤

I recall being in the Military, stationed in New England. We played a softball game against her and her band...OMG we had a blast! Great people, so much fun! When I heard of her passing suddenly, I cried. Not just because of what I experienced with all of them, but because of her music and who she was as a person. I think of her sometimes, esp when her videos come up, like these!

Many people from all ages just carry on in pain its called old school. Really liked her songs.

She's a fellow New Yorker, and I still love her singing.

Grew up in 80s listening to her songs. Still cherish her songs.

She had a great voice.

Her "will you still love me tomorrow" version is the best i have heard..... Great album too

Beautiful lady and great singer. She was in a truly loving marriage and was a major pop icon in the 1980's. We can only wonder how much more successful she would have been had tragedy not befallen her. She is sorely missed and will never be forgotten.

Beautiful gifted Laura rest in peace 😘💕

AMAZING VOICE❗

What a terrible loss 😢for one of the best from her generation in the music industry. RIP ❤

She was a wonderful singer.So sad she left us too soon.

What a Tragedy and Loss that was? Until just now, I'd never had a Clue of that happening. She was fantastic, so Great and I really loved Her music back then. But I was never a Die Hard Fan that really lived & breathed it. IT now saddens Me that she was Lost too us that away. So Thank you for Telling Her Story. May She RIP, by Our Lord's Side forever More. 🥺😳🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️🤍💙❤️🤍💙👍👍👏👏.

No, her death was not a "tragedy." A tragedy represents something catastrophic and involves many lives, not an individual person.

She was a multi-gifted person. Great beauty, incredible voice, musical talent, and on top of it all, a world class athlete. She was asked to try out for the US Olympic swimming team while in high school. But she had already decided she wanted to be a performer. Simply, the top of the gene pool.

grew up as a teen loving every single song she sing. my two favorite female at that time was blondie and branigan

❤😎🔥🙏💃🕺Our family's favorite and all time hit "Self control "❤❤🔥😎💃🕺

One of my favorite singer Condolences to the family

Her biggest hit 'Gloria' really caught my attention since my previous girlfriend turned loose woman was left behind in the south after I moved to California and we had strong feelings for each other. Thanks for the video. The rise and departure of this great artist is another illustration regarding how short and precious life can be.

She was so talented. 😢 it's so sad what happened to her!!😢

I read that her brother was visiting her at the time, and he knew that something was wrong. I read that he begged her to go to the hospital. I wish that she had. I love her music, she is missed.

She was so pretty, very talented, so very much missed , even after nearly 20 years , may your sweet soul rest in heaven ly peace, from a fan in North Queensland Australia 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

On August 26, 2004, Branigan died of a brain aneurysm. She died in her sleep at her home in East Quogue, New York.

We all will die, many in pain. To go to bed, to sleep, then the light switched off - wow. Her lovely voice plays in my head. She remains part of the conciousness of millions. So many yet unborn still to see and hear her. ❤

Financial struggles & other stress factors can be deadly, if not debilitating. I suffered a right-hemisphere cerebral stroke, which almost killed me, now about 3-years ago. It has been a slow struggle to recovery but I have made progress. Life slowly is returning to normal but I have gone through hell and back.

......absolutely agree, she is one of the best singers of her time.....with so many hits

I was of the understanding that Laura was of just Irish descent, esp. since she looks so Irish. I looked her up in Wikipedia which said she was just Irish-American, her mother was Kathleen O'Hare who came from O'Connor, Conway, etc.

My favorite song is "you take myself control in the 80s❤
