Laura Branigan dies

ITS SO SAD THAT SHE PASSED AWAY. she was a gr8 singer in the 80's.her song SELF-CONTROL is one of the most popular songs of all times. may she rest in peace

oh i have heard of her. she had a song on the vice city sound track.sad man

I'd probably remember who she was if I heard one of her songs

She had a huge hit with Self Control, originally written by an Italian named RAF, but he just scored a minor hit (with his own song). Lauras version, that actually came out simultaneously with RAF`s version, was a chart buster during the summer of 1984. She also had a hit in 1982 with a song called Gloria. Before that she was a backupsinger for Leonard Cohen
She also portraied Janis Joplin in the off brodway musical I love Janis
