    If you dug Laura, check out "Gloria," then "Self Control." She was a big 80s artist who rarely gets talked about anymore. But her voice was one of a kind.

      Yes Yes... my 2 favorites also. "Self Control" by Laura - was something else... from the movie - Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. Gloria and this song are great to react to. MTV found the video too risque' to play but Europe and the world did play it. "The song was about losing your self-control to the night or to someone," Laura said in a interview. "We had a man representing the night, wearing a mask. There were all these great dancers wearing masks by Willa Shalit. There's a shot where the man comes into my bedroom, taking me into the night. He appears and disappears. The video was also directed by William Friedkin who did (The French Connection, The Exorcist).

    Laura is amazing! So yeah, Jeniffer Rush is the original, and Celine Dion also does a notable version of this, but for me, Laura's is the definitive version of this song! Her voice - the power, the rasp, the tenderness, the emotion - all of it together!!!!!!! She has a lot of other great songs worth checking out, Gloria and Self Control are musts for her. God bless her, RIP Laura.

One of my favorite albums of hers, simply called "Laura Branigan" from 1990, didn't get as much airplay, but has some really awesome hits with songs like Moonlight on Water, Let Me In and Bad Attitude.

    This isn't the whole version of the song. She has many songs with this emotion.

    This live version is just my favorite.
    I love L.B. force, passion and beauty.
    Some people prefer the original version from Jennifer Rush, others Celine Dion version, Air Supply version and other artists versions.
    Any version is different so I like and enjoy them all.

    Brings back good memories... I grew up with her music... and it still causes goose pimples 40 years later.

    Alan Thicke is the host. He was the dad on Growing pains. Laura Branigan is such a power house! Love the channel

      And also father of pop star Robin Thicke. Alan Thicke had a late night show (it bombed) so maybe this is from that.

    I've listened to the CD and JR versions countless times, but nothing can beat the raw and saddest emotion of Laura's version. Her interpretation is pure heavy and finest
