Laura Branigan Biography

Laura Branigan (July 3, 1957 - August 26, 2004) was a Grammy Award-nominated American singer-songwriter and actress of Italian and Irish ancestry. She is arguably best known for her 1982 Platinum-certified hit "Gloria" (although this was not her biggest hit internationally). Branigan is also remembered for other Top-10 hits, including " Self Control", "Solitaire" and her #1 single, "How Am I Supposed to Live Without You".

She also contributed songs to notable movie/series soundtracks, including the Baywatch soundtrack (1994), the Ghostbusters soundtrack, and the Grammy and Academy Award-winning Flashdance soundtrack, as well as having songs featured in the popular Grand Theft Auto series.

Her signature song "Gloria" stayed on the Billboard Hot 100 for a record-breaking 36 weeks (by a female artist). The song also holds a place in the top 100 singles of 1982 and 1983.
