Posted: 8/28/04 at 8:50pmShocking news. I Loved "Gloria"...sometimes I still play it over and over. Her greatest CD is still one of my favorites. Condolences to her family.

Posted: 8/28/04 at 9:28pmGloria was such a cool song. To die in your sleep at 47 is too freaky. How truly sad.

And she was so young too.

OMG, and I thought our boards got vicious at times. Went to read about Laura after hearing of her death, and we don't have anything on the laurabranigan.com forum.

Gloria is one of the anthemic hits of its era. And after it had been gone a while, it made a comeback of sorts in "Flashdance," played for the ice skating character. Sadly, that actress died young, too.
Branigan was musical-theater trained, I believe. I'd heard her considered for "Song and Dance" and other shows over the years, though she never came to Broadway.
Her Best Of CD is great. I still love "Solitaire," too.
