BERIGAN Posted August 29, 2004 Report Share Posted August 29, 2004 No, I won't argue a great artist, but not like everyone else either. Brain aneurysm. http://www.laurabranigan.com/Lauras_Passing.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris olivarez Posted September 9, 2004 Report Share Posted September 9, 2004 She was definitely different. I don't see her music ever being in my collection but I do admire her for her individual choices and damn was she ever hot!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmitry Posted September 9, 2004 Report Share Posted September 9, 2004 I was steamrolling into puberty when Self Control came out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bertrand Posted September 9, 2004 Report Share Posted September 9, 2004 Didn't she have a hit called 'Creatures Of The Night'? I don't see it on the discography page. I remember this tune because I was sitting at home in Paris in the early 80s when I got a call from a radio station - if I could identify the singer, I would win some bread. Thinking it was a joke, I cursed in response, which was probably heard on the air. Funny thing, I knew it was Laura Branigan. I wonder how much money I blew. Bertrand.

JohnJ Posted September 9, 2004 Report Share Posted September 9, 2004 Bertrand, I think the song you are referring to is actually 'Self Control' which contains the line "I live among the creatures of the night". When I was in my early 20's I really identified with that song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris olivarez Posted September 9, 2004 Report Share Posted September 9, 2004 John J you're right about the song title and even though I was older when the song came out I could relate to it too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajf67 Posted September 9, 2004 Report Share Posted September 9, 2004 I just saw this. Thanks for posting it Berigan. I wasn't a big fan or anything, but I remember "Gloria." Too bad and too young. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Gould Posted September 9, 2004 Report Share Posted September 9, 2004 FWIW, last year she was cast in an off-broadway show about Janis Joplin and got killer reviews. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Chaney Posted September 9, 2004 Report Share Posted September 9, 2004 Bertrand, I think the song you are referring to is actually 'Self Control' which contains the line "I live among the creatures of the night". When I was in my early 20's I really identified with that song. Aha! I've been trying to remember the name of the one Branigan song that I'd heard and liked. One thing I remember about Ms. Branigan: In her videos, she always seems to be a bit challenged when it came to the dance moves. She always looked as if she'd be much more comfortable just standing there singing while others did that dance thang. A bit of a clutz... it seemed.

sheldonm Posted September 9, 2004 Report Share Posted September 9, 2004 While not a fan of her music, she was much too young to depart....RIP. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
