Ah Laura... the early 1980's I still remember listening to you on the radio my senior year in high school.
she was from brewster ,ny next town over from connecticut
Esse canal é oficial?
Come sempre I migliori successi sono italiani... 🤙👍
Laura was a stunning women
It’s 2024 and still listening to the 80’s music !!!
Me too!
+ me
Will always listen to 80s
Oh yeah ! 🎉
80’s music sucked….and Laura Branigan cannot dance at all!
I had the biggest crush on her when I was a kid. Her voice was phenomenal. She had a 5 octave range. Definitely miss her singing
... She WAS great, and she ABSOLUTELY was a pretty creature ... Gone too soon !
Anyone who was a child of the 80's and didn't like Laura growing up probably was not into women, she was stunning.
@@robertkennedy8503She was a beauty and a great talent !
Totaly same here never in a million years one my favourites
Mi musica favorita 😂
Who could forget this song?!? And her?!?
not to many.
One of the most beautiful women in the music industry, and a pitch perfect voice to match her good looks. She owns every song she sings.She left us too soon.
Even if she was butt ugly....with a voice like that, holy cow she can sing! But I'm glad she's pretty tho. She's just nailing her notes, her adlibs are sweet, a bit of a gruff female voice bordering on rocker. Kind of reminds me of a prime Ann Wilson of Heart. Laura is one of the G.O.A.T for sure.
Yes the awesome women from the 70's and 80"s were the best !! Jus love laura and this song !! I knew every word !! So much fun to sing a long w !! Lil voices in your head !! Lol
I didn’t realize she passed away so checked and sure enough she did in 2004 at only 52 years old of a brain aneurysm.
She is truly amazing
One of the strongest and vocal female voices.
The 80s… best days of my life! 🕺
I don't remember much about the 80's lol
@@SWATT101 🤣🤣🤣 That means it was awesome 🍺💪🏻☘️
The 60s were way better.
They were the best times, so many good times.
Best age of music !!
Rest In Peace Laura Branigan. You were not only beautiful, but your voice was phenomenal.
For those of us who were fortunate enough to live our adolescence in the 80s, she never grew old, much less died because she will live forever in our hearts.
Wow!!! Your right she never did grow old
My goodness this woman was not only stunningly talented but drop dead gorgeous. RIP
TRUE DAT, I mean, I agree!
God I miss the 80s
We rocked, we were a generation with the best of all.
Everything was so much better then.
So do I...
The 80’s were great! 2024 the world has turned to total crap and so has the music!
@@PJ808HSays most everybody about their youth years, no matter when they happened. Stop thinking we were special.
Beautiful talented young lady who passed away far to young 😢
too
for as long as someone mentions your name, you shall never truly die.
Live forever then, Laura B.
Just bring back the 80s
I'll vote for that lol
90s also
Beautiful woman, stunning voice. RIP.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@danielc.1169ow. I didn’t know she had already passed away. 😢
I agree. Laura Branigan was a beautiful woman with a wonderful voice and she moved well on stage also.
What a voice! Pitch perfect and ripping into it, this woman is magic and sends tingles down my spine.
If she needs fireworks and a huge light show, then her music is worthless. Imagine Bach using fireworks.
@@NoTaboos She is certainly superhuman.
She's lip syncing. Compare this with the music video or the track. Literally exactly the same. Also her face is barely moving when she's singing some of the most difficult sections. Even the most talented singers in the world can't replicate studio performances without any changes whatsoever. They might be worse or even better, but never exact.
LIsten to Michael Jackson singing Billie Jean live versus lip-syncing. Live is always slightly different, and you can hear breathing, and pitch is never spot-on perfect. It's near impossible even with in-ear monitors.
Here she is actually singing live: czcams.com/video/yXFr-hqsVtk/video.html
This is live, unlike 99% of modern music.
This is the track put over a performance… this isn’t live.
duet with her .. ALL others lip synched
You think so, eh? 🤣 This track is as live as Michelle from the Mamas and the Papas eating a banana during the performance.
I think it's recorded soundtrack with some added live sound effect at 1:04.
Sorry, but they Memorexed stuff back then too.
The world went dark when we lost Laura.
I loved this song! Her voice was so incredibly beautiful!!
@@aileen9553 can you clarify please?
there will never be another she was beautiful and talented
she also was good in spanish as with Luis Miguel in this song.czcams.com/video/lDO3dV3p1Rs/video.html
It's timeless because she is so very good and so is the song itself. She claims it was about someone she knew....I think that someone stared back at her every time she looked in the mirror.
This song is a banger for sure, but what in the world is her fascination about this "Gloria". Maybe this song should be called "Laura" because it feels like projection. Or if it's not projection maybe "Gloria" should have put a song out called, "Mind your own business, Laura". Or maybe Laura is jealous because Van Morrison wrote a song about Gloria. Who knows but Laura really needs some self-control, am I right?
Omg she’s beautiful ☺️
Hello 👋 Stephanie
For sure. And classy too.
She really is
Never understood why she didn't have more hits. Such a great voice. And beautiful!
The song was already a hit in another language and country. She didn't write the music.
I believe one of her other songs 'self control' did pretty well.
What a voice
Competition has always been tough. There were many other great voices and hits in those years.
@@h.e.l4385 Well it was the 80s, the decade of brilliant artists and diverse music.
A favourite singer and a rare decent American.
Well, if you're going to remembered for one song, this is one of the best!
Self control was good too but I take your point.
You need to listen to her cover of "The Power Of Love".
I wish I have met the girl .💗
One of my favorite singers. What a shame she died so young. A wonderful entertainer and singer. She brought out some great songs. RIP Laura.
So sad.
Vdd
'Amor traz a calma e a calma traz o raciocínio.' Abs.
Desejo-lhe sorte!
Simpática...😊
boa noite💓
RIP? She's still alive singing 😊
@@the_flying_scotty No, just Google her name and read her Wikipedia entry. She died at the age of 52.
I’m thinking the same thing 😭!
Today's singers will never sound this good or look this amazing.
Two words: Carrie Underwood
@@gdb86cs two better words: Laura Branigan
Everyone is still listening to this song in 2024
Underrated talent. I remember this song as if it was yesterday.
How the time flies...
@@tubehicks7037 So true
Underrated, overrated. Who cares what other people think?
@@ivanjulian2532 When genuine talent gets overlooked it gradually fades away, and that void is replaced by a product of lesser quality. Over time, this process lowers the bar for new artists, and conditions the public to accept increasingly lower standards. When very low quality, low cost, products continue to turn over a decent profit, there's no longer an incentive to invest extra money into high quality music.
tl/dr Modern music it crap, because not enough people care about underrated vs overrated acts.
@@petewest3122 I disagree.
Pure beauty and talent
No enhancements, vocally or cosmetic
🥰
Yeah, she was really beautiful and talented.
She was talented, but this isn't a live version.
@@civlyzed No, it's not.
She's miming. Look at her voice box - how it ISN'T moving.
She was one of the most beautiful women I have ever seen!
What an 80s girl and what a star. Brilliant performance. 80s has to be one of the best decades in history for music.
Eighties you have got to be joking 1986 that’s when music went down hiil
70s easily as good
@@henrywilloughby8333 why ?
I played this for some young people at work just to see what they thought. They said WOW! Who is she ? She's fantastic 👍😊❤️
Yeah.....that's 'cos U R the boss, and they wanted to keep their jobs. 😂🤣😅
I often played "old" music like for my elementary school students, and they loved it.
Not everyone is weird and creepy like you.@@erepsekahs
She left us way too young. A voice of liquid gold. Her Brannigan LP is classic. RIP. I always wanted Laura to hook up with Donna Summer. Now only on heavenly golden stages.
It's so sad that she left us too soon. What a formidable, wonderful talent!
Well she might have still been with us if she went to the doctor to check out those headaches she was getting weeks before her death.
@@thepsychologist8159 I wasn't aware that she suffered from headaches prior to her death.
I am kind of shocked. I was under the impression that she didn't have any symptoms. Is it possible for see someone to have a brain tumor and not know it?
@@thepsychologist8159and you know this how ……
@@J0s3ph__ Well, it's called research my dear.
80년대에 로나 브레이건 글로리아, 셀프컨트롤을 들었습니다. 그런데 power of lover도 불렀다는것은 이제야 알았네요. 좋은 음악을 들려주셔서 감사합니다. RIP
Man, Laura could sing! No digital enhanement crap, just her, real singing!
Yeah, real lip syncing.
@@fredpearson5204 yea but she is still singing on the record
Plenty of analogue enhancement.
Spectacular performance; she, honestly, sounds better live than she does in studio. That’s what you call a real artist.
This was lip synced as were all music shows during this time period
@@paulsonj72 I'm not saying she isn't here, but LB was known for not syncing on TV shows.
I don’t know if she was lip syncing during this performance, but this video very obviously has the studio track overlaid. We are not hearing the original broadcast audio track here.
@@paulsonj72 No. The vocalization is different from the single. The backing track is the record.
Worse part of the 80s is that they ended
No. It was the dancing.
I feel the same way about the 90s.
Boy that's the truth!
A magical time
The last days before the curse of computers & smartphones killed off get-togethers to discuss the latest happenings in people's lives.
LAURA BRANIGAN SHE HAD THE LOT THE LOOKS THE VOICE THE PITCHING. JUST AN AMAZING TALENT GONE FAR TO SOON.
#40? Hard to believe there were ever 39 better songs on the charts when this was current!
It did hit #2 on Billboard and stayed on the Hot 100 for 36 weeks which was a record
To be honest i doubt there were better songs, i grew up with music like this ( 80,s etc ) she was Damn good, fantastic song, beautiful sexy lady, what more did it need????
Not hard to believe at all.
@@barryphillips7327 The 60s were way better.
@@NoTaboos NO sorry.
I love her voice. I really like this song.
Thank you, Laura, for all the good time I had with your music more than 40 years ago, and actually ever since. Watching this video brings back the good old times. And I don't feel ashamed, that as a teenager I fell in love with you 🙂. Very sad, that you had to go so early.
What a beautiful, elegant looking woman. They don’t make them like that anymore.
Great song loved it in the 80s and still love it. Rip Laura ❤️
'Self Control' is in another class for me.
Laura had a great singing voice better then Madonna
@@hankhill5498 Way, way better. Madonna has a tiny voice in comparison.
YES.... GREAT!
Natural Talent. Natural Beauty. Winner all round.
Still loving a bit of Laura Branigan. RIP gorgeous.
She's just about perfect.
Oh DAMN! I didn't know she was dead. Sad. RIP x
Playback Talent
@@JDot-nx3md And that playback is what SHE recorded.
Kako volim ovu pjesmu zauvijek u mom srcu Marina top CROATIA
I ABSOLUTELY REMEMBER THIS GIRL, REST IN PEACE BEAUTIFUL
Even though this performance is lip synched, Branigan had such an impressive vocal range. To this day, I love her style; she was fabulous. One of my many ‘80s classic faves! Growing up, I loved watching Solid Gold as a little girl, and I remember hearing this song during the ice skating scene in Flashdance. Some things never leave you. The hanging disco balls and stage firework explosions were the best!!!!!!!!
Wish I was back in the 1980s can someone please turn back the time
She was such a beautiful and talented woman. My heart throb in 1982. Bless her.
The 1980’s….a decade of giant bush.
Laura is so beautiful her vocals are amazing. This is one of the best performances I’ve seen. I was never born in the 80’s yet that era always felt nostalgic to me.
What a Star !!! She had it all - Looks, Talent and Charisma !
40 years ago and I remember watching this like it was yesterday. She is gone but Thank God her music is still with us. I miss her.
Tomorrow never comes, yesterday for ever💕
I'm crushed! I just found out she is no longer with us, and at such a young age.
Wow…been 40 years Since Laura belted out this beauty of a number. What a powerful voice and only on half throttle most of the time on this number…..Sadly, she’s been gone for 20 long years but her song and her remain with us forever thanks to video!
That's a long time ago
Since 2004 not quite but close . If she had lived I ve no doubt she would continued her great singing
Just an adorable talented singer always bought her music in the 80 s still lovely till today ❤❤ from SA 🇿🇦
I love the way she sings this fantastic song 🎵 ❤
Hello Pamela
How are you doing today?
1982 ❤❤❤❤❤
This will always be the number one song ever played in St. Louis !! The official song of the winning Stanley Cup Champion St. Louis Blues !! LGB !!
Always loved her voice.
LAURA SIMPLY THE BEST. WHAT A TERRIFIC NUMBER ABSOLUTELY NAILED GLORIA. GLORIA GLORIA GLORIA.
80's music is the best ever
Incredible powerful voice, intensely emotional, what a singer
A true song bird
Laura branigan was a beautiful woman and she also had a beautiful voice she had several big hits Laura did Laura you RN music heaven as we speak rest in peace my love ♥️♥️🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎶🎶
Laura was a great artist, a fantastic entertainer!!. This was a spectacular staging, with much emotion and movement, but that final blast seemed very close to Laura, lol.
lol Would have scared the crap out of me! But, Laura was a daredevil, so she probably loved it.
She is great singer
Longer lens makes it look closer to her than it really was.
Harikasın.Laura
😎😎😎😎😎😎👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Wow this is not lip syncing... Amazing live performance. RIP Laura you are missed.
She is definitely lip syncing. Doesn't make it less of a great performance.
Nah she's definitely lip syncing it's identical to the studio version
Still an incredible performance!!!!
Agree. This is a 'needle drop.' No matter, it's mesmerizing all the same. She could have sang the phone book, and I'd have paid money for the privilege of experiencing it-live or prerecorded!
Definitely lip syncing. Real singing is a physical thing. You would see more physicality in her torso and head and breathing. Whenever people are standing pretty chill and belting out notes you know it's BS.
She came back to do Ladies of the 80s and it was an unforgettable performance. Miss her and that time so much!
A powerful voice & gorgeous woman! I wish I could meet a woman like this.
@@javi8674 Are you insinuating that Loura Branigan is old?
@@javi8674 What are you eight?
What powerful beautiful voice.
One of my favorites....she's stunningly beautiful....missed her and her songs...
Hello! How are you doing? Please pardon me for intruding into your privacy but I just wanted to know if you are a fan? Have a great day. Stay Safe
Still loving this in 2024!
A big fan of her in the 80s..may her soul rest in peace...
Earlier today her voice came up on the car stereo. . .it was Self Control. Now, we are here. Our tributes to such a fine singer whose voice was the air we breathed as children.
Powerful voice.
Hello,how are you doing.?
One of the truly rare and exquisite voices in music history... and total class!
Laura had one of the best voices of the 1980s and she was headed for greatness. That never came as her life was cut short. We were all cheated by her death. RIP Laura!
I disagree....she was great in the time we were able to enjoy her music!!
Huh? She died 20 years after her last chart hit.
@@headlibrarian1996 She was singing on Broadway and was recording new music to release just before her passing. Great voice
My late Dad and I both loved this song it was one of the rare songs that from a big family of music fans both Dad and myself were the ones that thought it was brilliant. It made number 1 down here in Australia. I still remember having to tell him that she passed from a brain aneurysm x R.I.P thanks for the memories of us listening to this song
She achieved greatness. She had a bunch of hits and recorded many albums.
I loved her voice and this song.
Fabulous video of Laura and Gloria.
Born in 1980 and my mother loved her to death. I heard so much Laura as a kid I know all the words to her biggest hits! RIP mom and Laura!
I was 8yrs old in '82 and I still remember dancing like a fool to this song as a kid. ❤❤❤ Flashdance. Every song rocks in that movie but this one is Top 3 for me. I still dance like a fool whenever I hear this song. Much Love ❤️ and Respect Ms.Laura Branigan
Me too, I danced to this song too. But as I grew up I noticed that there were toxic people in my life and just had to remove them. Then I reheard this song, and wow, I came to the realization that Laura Brandigan is one of he most toxic people in the world. Why in the world does she care so much about "Gloria". I've had people just like her in my life and I had to get hem out. Gloria should have a song telling Laura to mind her own business and let her run her own life. And the song is contradictory as well. In one line she says "no one seems to be calling you" and then the next line is "I guess you can keep them hanging on the line". What? Who is she going to keep hanging on the line if nobody is calling? I know people like this and they are toxic. Laura needs some self-control.
Footloose
@@donniev8181Yes!!! Another foot stomping song. 😁👍
If the 80’s could see the year 2021, they would have stopped procreating.
And they would never have retired.. 80s music into the modern times of now!!
Agreed…..it’s no better in 2023 !
In the 80s they thought things were only getting better. They were ready for an incredible future!
Alas..
We still got 1984 though...... 😬
@@jaronimo1976 each decade, our children lose more and more of their innocence, as technology replaces emotion.
True.
Love it. Everything about it. The glittery jump suits, the hair , the fantastic chorus.
1980's brah. Michael wore one glove, Prince wore high heels, and Hair bands wore make-up
@@mcentepede Brah my ars*. youngling. To quickly answer your comment, SO?😀
Her singing seemed completely effortless. Incredible talent.
Laura Branigan vocals are so beautiful & powerful. Laura Branigan the timeless voice.
This song should never been rated 40 at anytime. From it's release to 40 years later. This song will liver on forever.
With her natural phenomenal octave range .This woman standing right there is possibly and is one of the greatest artist and performers once in a life time of a generation
She was.
Great studio version no doubts but she isn’t singing live here!
Ever listen to Lara Fabian?
Yep , fantastic
yes, what a voice, wowzers!
어릴때 라디오에서 듣던분을 이렇게 영상으로 뵙게 되니 영광입니다.굉장한 미인이시네요~~
대단한 노래 실력...당신은 진정한 예술가입니다.
사랑합니다 (^.~)/
Laura Branigan left the world much too soon. ❤
I would drive to work way early in the morning and this would come on the radio, and make the start of my day better.
Não tem como não se sentir contagiado com essa maravilha!!
A dead ringer for my beautiful daughter in looks who Iost a few yrs ago x
Could listen to this and her all day. What a voice, what a Beauty!!
who wasn't a sucker for a lovely brunette in sequins in 1983?
@@darrenwilson8042 1983? how about now?
Amazing what a talent gone far to soon l really miss her such a beautiful person Laura had everything the looks pitch perfect she was just CLASS nailed this SONG l NEVER ever get sick of hearing this number GLORIA what a wonderful wonderful song R.I.P. my beautiful angel
Just the BEST This is one of my favourite numbers
I hear her songs once in a while and I start missing her all over again. I wish she had gotten medical attention for her severe headaches. It is possible she would have survived the brain aneurysm and made a full recovery. She would be 71 now.
Such a great strong singing voice, incredibly talented and so pretty. I very much hope she rests in peace. Heartfelt condolences to her family. Losing a loved one is such a difficult thing. 😢
❤ to Laura. I miss you.
The cause of her untimely death was inherited. Her father died of the same thing. It’s very sad.
Gifted voice, talented, bundle of stage energy and amazing gorgeous. What is there not to miss. God I miss the 80s...
Wow. I totally remember this song. Always thought that Laura Branigan was very attractive and, man, could she sing and belt out those powerful notes! Pretty soulful and sultry performer. Thought that she'd be a bigger star, but the music competition was pretty stiff for the airwaves circa 1982. And thanks for posting this. Solid Gold was a pretty big part of my teenage years. The only way a broke teenager who really loved music could see the biggest and hottest musical acts of the day! Thanks again.
I still listen to Self Control all the time
@@glacialimpala Laura could sing but didn’t have rhythm. One of the all time greats.
@@glacialimpala Gloria and Self Control are covers of Italian songs: Gloria by Umberto Tozzi (1979) and Self Control by Raf (1983 I guess).
Self Control was one of my favorite songs from Laura Branigan. It's such a cool pop tune but she really made it her own with the soulful vocals.
@@pickoftheglitter Her covers were great but that's probably why her fame was kind of limited. She didn't really have any major hits beyond the covers.
what a pitty she died so early.. :-(
Gorgeous voice giving a timeless rendition
I was a teen listening to her and absolutely loved her. Now in my 50’s and miss her and my innocence.
Insane vocals, charisma, and beauty.
Insane vocals, yes. Insane lyrics? Double yes. What is she going on about with Gloria? She seems a little too invested in Gloria's life and she's all over the place with it. And contradictory as well. In one line she says "no one seems to be calling you" and then the next line is "I guess you can keep them hanging on the line". What? Who is she going to keep hanging on the line if nobody is calling? I know people like this and they are toxic. Laura needs some self-control.
A beautiful person, never thought I would say that about an American.RIP. Greetings from Australia
I sit here and listen to her and feel like I’m back in the ‘80’s all over again. Thank you Laura. RIP
Agreed
Beautiful woman with a voice of perfection!
Just goes to show what a legend Laura was after all these years yet here we are watching her videos.
Gloria !!! Aaaaaaaaaaaa !!!
Que saudades de vc Laura Branigan linda VC ainda canta muito lindo parabéns
Wasn’t she so beautiful in so many ways. What a magnificent voice. And had total mastery over it. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I have goosebumps. She touches my heart. In a happy way.
Hello Rhonda
How are you doing today?
I remember loving this song on the radio in the early 1980s. Laura passed away at age 52 in 2004.
Where were you when you heard her sipping whiskey؟
What a voice. Few people could sing that song but her.
But who would want to sing this song? It's absolutely crazy. It sounds great, but what the Hell is she singing about? Why so much passion for this Gloria? And contradictory as well. In one line she says "no one seems to be calling you" and then the next line is "I guess you can keep them hanging on the line". What? Who is she going to keep hanging on the line if nobody is calling? I know people like this and they are toxic. Laura needs some self-control.
