80's chicks really rocked!!!

Pure Natural Talent, complemented with a effortless 5 Octave Range, all delivered with personality and beauty that puts
today's so called Performers to shame.

When they talk about the great female vocalist you very rarely hear Laura’s name ! But she can sing with the best of them ! She had an unbelievable voice ! My favorite song by Laura is Tiamo . I seen her live several times in the 80s she’s a very underrated performer…. Rest easy Laura 🙏❤️🙏❤️

What a beautiful woman, I was in love with Laura since the first time I saw her singing this song back in 1982.

[hititorquitit]

My God! Is this live? Remarkable. I'm so strangely sad about her passing.

[stconstable]

Branigan is forever! Millions of views says it all!

This is a great tune and Laura is a great singer.

Imagine getting to see this live. I think everyone's jaws were just on the floor over what they were hearing.

It really wasn't that long ago when these superhumans were with us. 😢

[dorism]

I should know by now that I should not be watching these videos before going to bed since this music just makes me want to get up and dance! The 80’s are the best music! Love you Laura! Beautiful angel, may you be singing in heaven!

[iceblueeyes]

God what a beauty. Could you imagine them early 80s back stage party's.

[joshuaelie]

I love the tape glitching towards the end . It shows the time of the beautiful masterpiece of a song. They don't make music like this no more.

[davidewing]

She was fantastic. What a beautiful preformer, singer and woman. She was the total package. Rest In Peace Laura, we all miss you. Now you are a voice in which, maybe someday, I will here you in heaven, ( Lord willing), myself. Dave in Sierra Vista AZ
