I'm a big fan of Laura Branigan's!  "Self Control" is my all-time fave, closely followed by "Hot Night" from Ghostbusters.  Anybody else out there liking her music?

"Self Control" was my all time favourite from her. Wasn't too keen on "Gloria". She'll be sadly missed in the music industry. I loved her strong voice. I still miss her  :\'(

I'm a big fan too! :) You all should definitely check out the aforementioned site. The message board is great and full of really nice people and I'm a member there too.

Probably my favorites from her are "The Power of Love" (yes, the same one we all know courtesy of Celine Dion), "Self Control," (of course) "Hold Me," "Solitaire," "Shadow of Love," and "Moonlight on Water."

One of the nicest people too, I even met her personally myself. She will be sadly missed.  :\'(

Do you have link-up for that site please?

Yeah she's awesome. My favorites are: Gloria, Self Control and Spanish Eddie. I was so shocked when she died. She died the exact same way my uncle did 20 years ago though he was younger.

I am so sorry :( I bet when you heard that all those memories came flooding back.

The day it was announced that Laura Branigan died, all three of us in the office where I work were sadden by the news.

Yeah, "Spanish Eddie" is another big favourite of mine!  Deserved a lot more than number 40 in the Billboard charts.  In fact it's such a shame that the "Hold Me" album didn't get the recognition that it deserved.  Got a very 80's sound to it although it still sounds fresh today.  Other tracks you guys might know on there are "I found someone" (Cher covered it a couple of years later) and "Forever Young" (I think Alphaville had some success with that).  It goes for quite a bit on ebay I believe. 

Another great album by Laura is "Self Control".  Highlights include the title track (have you guys seen the video?  WOW!  Like serious WOW!!!), the steamyl "Take me", the ultimate kick start your life song "Breaking out" and the very HOT "Satisfaction".  If you've got it in your collection dig it out and stick it on - guaranteed to bring a smile to your face and have you humming the tunes for weeks!!!  She really was the best and she's left us all with a great legacy!

Like a few of you have mentioned, Self Control is my favorite of hers. It was sad that she passed away so young.  :\'(

I have a DVD recording of Laura hosting Countdown, back in 1983. She performs "Self Control" , "Gloria" and they show a little of her version of "Da Kommisar". Of the 3 versions of "Kommisar" that were out at the time, I think hers is the best. I also love "Ti Amor".

self control...you take  my self controlllllllllllllllllll....

I would love to get a copy of this, email me please!  shatteredglass@columbus.rr.com

I like both "The Lucky One" and "Self-Control"

I like her standard hits mainly, but I haven't had time to delve into her lesser known stuff. I read somewhere that she was one of few artists who could sing in all 5 octaves. I don't know if that's some sort of urban legend, but I think I read it in a reliable source.
