Talk about pretty! She was an absolute beauty! Princess material. Thank you Laura you are still a very bright note even after 43 years. I remember hearing you belting out the Gloria in the early 80's. Still #1 in my book.
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.
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
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.
The Italians never get the credit they deserve in the disco/dance realm. Obviously Moroder is the king of them all, but so many other great production teams released influential tunes.
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.
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!
Gloria, you're always on the run now Running after somebody You gotta get him somehow I think you've got to slow down Before you start to blow it I think you're headed for a breakdown So be careful not to show it [Refrain] You really don't remember Was it something that he said? Are the voices in your head calling, Gloria? [Verse 2] Gloria, don't you think you're fallin'? If everybody wants you Why isn't anybody callin'? You don't have to answer Leave 'em hangin' on the line Oh-oh, calling Gloria [Chorus] Gloria (Gloria) I think they got your number (Gloria) I think they got the alias (Gloria) That you've been living under (Gloria) But you really don't remember Was it something that they said? Are the voices in your head calling, Gloria? グロリア、あなたはいつも逃げ回っています 誰かを追いかける 何とかして彼を捕まえなければなりません 速度を落とさなければいけないと思う 吹き始める前に あなたは崩壊に向かっていると思います なので見せないように注意してください [控える] 本当に覚えてないのね それは彼が言ったことですか？ 頭の中の声がグロリアを呼んでいるの? [第2節] グロリア、落ち込んでると思わない？ 誰もがあなたを望んでいるなら なぜ誰も電話をかけないのですか？ 答える必要はありません 彼らを電話に掛けたままにしておきます ああ、グロリアに電話してる [コーラス] グロリア (グロリア) 彼らはあなたの番号を知っていると思います (グロリア) 彼らは別名（グロリア）を持っていると思います あなたが（グロリアの下で）生きてきたこと でも君は本当に覚えていないんだ それは彼らが言ったことですか？ 頭の中の声がグロリアを呼んでいるの?
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.
@@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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
I was 11! I loved her music. I knew the lyrics and belted them out so loud that my voice went wrasp/sexy and then I felt I achieved her greatness.. Incredibly gorgeous and unbelievable voice. With so much emotions.
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
This is all I needed to dig out my 'Best of Branigan' cassette! I had a girlfriend named Gloria, but sadly she passed in 2014. RIP to both of these foxes!!
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.
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????
This song was ' skipping' all over the radio for at least 30 minutes last week, I was only sad that it was a glitch and not on full ful, repeat for an hour. SO SOULFUL
The apse of show biz. When we actually knew what music, art, dancing, lighting and special effects are about. Thank you so much Laura, for putting this masterpiece together and to the folks that shared ❤
I was just a Teen when I first heard this song and was Amazed by the Beauty of Laura's soul inside and out. Still to this day this Song brings back so many memories good and bad. "In the Loving arm's of the Angel's Beautiful Laura" Kindest Thoughts from Australia 😥🦋⚘🕯
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!
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
I was 15 in 1982, and had a huge crush on LB! When I heard she had passed, it brought tears to my eyes. Watching this video, it's easy to see why I was so easily smitten. She was amazing!!! This is how I'll remember her; beautiful and talented. RIP Laura. 😔😔😔😔😔
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.
She knocked this song out of the park! Always held a torch for looks and her voice. Specifically remember a show girl giving her all to match this in a retroreview one time. She left us all too soon!
@@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.
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.
This is FAR superior to the official video for this song. Not only does it feature the best version (Laura's voice is far grittier on this one) but Laura also displays a lot more attitude and seems to enjoy herself tremendously. Great stuff.
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.
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.
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
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!!!!!!!!
Those thunder sounds and fireworks are soooo 80’s. LOVE IT!!! I picture the sound mixer and sound effects guy all coked up and fist pumping in the air and thinking… “I think we need more explosions!”
Coming from a blues fan, after having the worst season start in 2019 and eventually switching things around and eventually winning our first Stanley Cup in an unforgivable season after switching our new theme song to Gloria, thank you Laura Branigan. Every time I hear this song, it just brings joy to us. Rock on.
Here the COMPOSER of this legendary song: the Italian singer/composer Umberto Tozzi, in 1979: th-cam.com/video/c1P8jDSsykc/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=MusicworldTV Later on Laura made the English version.
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?
Лаура умничка! Красивая женщина и певица! Очень жаль что её нет! Не знал таких подробностей! Царство небесное и Светлая Память! Покойся с миром дорогой человечек!!!

Will always listen to 80s
Oh yeah ! 🎉
80’s music sucked….and Laura Branigan cannot dance at all!
Talk about pretty! She was an absolute beauty! Princess material. Thank you Laura you are still a very bright note even after 43 years. I remember hearing you belting out the Gloria in the early 80's. Still #1 in my book.
It just occurred to me that I’ve never heard a single cover version of this song. No one dares.
Who could forget this song?!? And her?!?
not to many.
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

for as long as someone mentions your name, you shall never truly die.
Live forever then, Laura B.
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.

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.
My goodness this woman was not only stunningly talented but drop dead gorgeous. RIP
TRUE DAT, I mean, I agree!
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.

I think you've got to slow down
Before you start to blow it
I think you're headed for a breakdown
So be careful not to show it
[Refrain]
You really don't remember
Was it something that he said?
Are the voices in your head calling, Gloria?

Gloria, don't you think you're fallin'?
If everybody wants you
Why isn't anybody callin'?
You don't have to answer
Leave 'em hangin' on the line
Oh-oh, calling Gloria

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.

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.
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.th-cam.com/video/lDO3dV3p1Rs/w-d-xo.html

Rest In Peace Laura Branigan. You were not only beautiful, but your voice was phenomenal.
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.
Beautiful talented young lady who passed away far to young 😢
too
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 .💗
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.

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.

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.
私は日本人です。この曲を初めて聞いたのは、テレビ『白バイ野郎ジョン&パンチ』のある１場面でした。そのたった１度で好きになりました。今でも凄く鮮明に映像とサウンドを覚えています(^^)
I was 15 in 1982, and had a huge crush on LB! When I heard she had passed, it brought tears to my eyes. Watching this video, it's easy to see why I was so easily smitten. She was amazing!!! This is how I'll remember her; beautiful and talented.
RIP Laura. 😔😔😔😔😔

Man I miss the 80’s.
Laura Branigan e Irene Cara, duas musas,infelizmente,as duas já falecidas. São Paulo/Brasil. 2023.
I moved to Vancouver B C from Ottawa , worked at a pub in downtown Van for the summer ,that song was number one hit . BEST SUMMER OF MY LIFE!!!!
Hello 👋 Doris
Gifted voice, talented, bundle of stage energy and amazing gorgeous. What is there not to miss. God I miss the 80s...
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.
She knocked this song out of the park! Always held a torch for looks and her voice. Specifically remember a show girl giving her all to match this in a retroreview one time. She left us all too soon!
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.
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.
This is FAR superior to the official video for this song. Not only does it feature the best version (Laura's voice is far grittier on this one) but
Laura also displays a lot more attitude and seems to enjoy herself tremendously. Great stuff.
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. 😁👍
Omg she’s beautiful ☺️
Hello 👋 Stephanie
For sure. And classy too.
She really is
She is absolutely beautiful, and has one hell of a voice, and has a lot of soul
I ABSOLUTELY REMEMBER THIS GIRL, REST IN PEACE BEAUTIFUL
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.
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!
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!!!!!!!!
Sad she died so young, Gloria was a great song and I listen to it when I work out at the gym it pumps me up when I feel tired.
Those thunder sounds and fireworks are soooo 80’s. LOVE IT!!! I picture the sound mixer and sound effects guy all coked up and fist pumping in the air and thinking… “I think we need more explosions!”
God speed beautiful talented lady. A true singer from my childhood. Regards from south London England 🏴 xx
What month and year and number did this song peak at in the UK chart ?
Coming from a blues fan, after having the worst season start in 2019 and eventually switching things around and eventually winning our first Stanley Cup in an unforgivable season after switching our new theme song to Gloria, thank you Laura Branigan. Every time I hear this song, it just brings joy to us. Rock on.
Here the COMPOSER of this legendary song: the Italian singer/composer Umberto Tozzi, in 1979: th-cam.com/video/c1P8jDSsykc/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=MusicworldTV Later on Laura made the English version.
I was a teen listening to her and absolutely loved her. Now in my 50’s and miss her and my innocence.
I’m in love 😍
Hello,how are you doing.?
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.
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?
1982 ❤❤❤❤❤
Лаура умничка! Красивая женщина и певица! Очень жаль что её нет! Не знал таких подробностей! Царство небесное и Светлая Память! Покойся с миром дорогой человечек!!!
A beautiful person, never thought I would say that about an American.RIP. Greetings from Australia
Elle faisait partie d'une époque ou les femmes savaient chanter et avaient une belle voix pas comme maintenant.
😂💯💯💯💯💯💯
Comme Nicki Minaj😂Cardi B...etc🤦🏻♀️
Laura etait fantastic ❤
I remember watching this as a kid on Solid Gold. For some reason, I'm more taken with it now than when I was a kid.
I thought that was the solid gold set !!
Surprised they haven't told us this never existed lol ..
@Greg Normal Lord No ..lol
That would definitely make me dizzy ..
I'm human
what a pitty she died so early.. :-(
