Picture it, it was 1984-1985, hot as hell summer in NY, I’m 9 years old and my mom has the T-Top off day and night on her Firebird with this cassette blasting when she would take me places. Life was so good, mom blasting Laura’s music in the car and house. So many memories flooding in.
Her personal doctor had her do an MRI in 1991, to see why she was having constant headaches behind her left eye. The doctor told her, she needed to stop snorting cocaine and speed, or she would make the blood vessel behind her left eye have an aneurysm... She stopped doing the drugs. And. He gave her a prescription for Tylenol 3's with codeine, to help her with her headaches... He never sent her to a vascular surgeon, though... Even though she had stopped doing the drugs, the blood vessel behind her left eye, eventually had an aneurysm, anyway. It happened while she was asleep, and she bled out through her nose, into her pillow...
Personal favorite of mine. It has a steamy video that got banned from MTV until it was edited. There’s no doubt that this prevented it from going even higher than it did on Billboard in the USA (#4). It was an international smash , #1 all across Europe, and probably the biggest worldwide single of 1984. It’s use of an electric guitar mainstream rock riff and power chords over its Euro-Disco rhythm and beats made it palatable to all but the most hardcore disdainers of Disco.
@@jakethekipper Sounds like a pretty good director, Eh ? Yeah, my understanding is they were trying to make something a bit more credible as a piece of video than what was generally accepted for a music video. Thank you 😊 for that great information ✌️👍
They played the hell out of this on Radio 1 in England when this dropped in the summer of 1984. I loved it. A fantastic summer, such great music. As always yet another mix that is worthy of a single remix release. As always well done and thank you DJ DiscoCat
Was 16yrs old when Laura Brannigan’s “Self Control” was released and since then it has been my favorites of Laura’s songs. I never get tired of this classic dance tune playing it in full blast. I love the video too it reminds me of NYC during 1984. Awesome version mix. Well thought out mix stays true to the original mix and complimented mix addition. ❤️🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🗽🌈❤️🗽🗽🗽🗽🗽🗽🗽
What can I say, I absolutely love Laura Branigan, I always have and I always will. I was 10 years old when she sang this version, I remember dancing with my sisters to it, 38 years later, we still do. Beyond superb mix of this AWESOME tune and thank you! ❤
Wow! Fabulous remix of an iconic song, I loved them both, the original Raf version and Laura's. She was an absolutely powerhouse of a singer and we lost her far too soon. Another outstanding piece of remixing! Bravissimo! Now another song that could use your touch is Life Goes On by Faith Hope & Charity, a classic early disco track, which could use a long remix of the album version with the 12" single. You'd be the perfect person to do it...
This was my favorite song when I was a teen. I was obsessed with Laura. Thank you so much for such a great remix! There are many people doing remixes, but your work is seamless, your content is just amazing.
I'm 22. I got into 80s music when I was 17, just starting out as a solo carpenter. This year will be my 6th year in business. This song used to be my favourite, driving my 2002 F150. I love what you've done with this remix, as you have done with your countless others. Truly. Thank you. Added to my playlist ❤️
Thanks for uploading this awesome extended remix! Laura Branigan still remains one of my all-time favorite female singer. I never get tired of listening to her songs.
Wow, this mix of "Self Control" is one of the best versions ever made for this amazing and transcendental song by one of the best vocalists of all time!! You have made an excellent mix without losing the essence of its original sound!! I would bet that if this version had come out in 1984, it would have been twice as successful as it was! Thank you, for creating magic with this mix and making this song continue to shine as one of the best songs of our generation and the best decade of all time, the Eternal 80s!!!!👍
I've waited for ages for a remix of this by you! This is epic stuff ! Laura never gets her proper due; she was one of the best artists going for a short bit back then. She had some real solid work but had some bad luck. It's a shame her career fell apart and ended like it did. She was honestly ahead of her time in some ways; put her in 2022 and she'd be so dominant right now as both a singer and a model. She was a knockout back then and she would be in modern times as well.
I was living in Brooklyn NY. this song. along with prince.s when doves cry dominated the Nyc. Raidio stations. timeless. and a great time for music. fond memories
An awesome mix. I have the original on 12" Vinyl from back in the day, it still sounds amazing like it did back in 80's. Laura had only 6 UK hits... Dec 1982 - No. 06 - Gloria (I have this on 12" Vinyl too) Jul 1984 - No. 05 - Self Control Oct 1984 - No. 56 - The Lucky One Dec 1984 - No. 100 - Ti Amo Aug 1985 - No. 87 - Spanish Eddie Aug 1987 - No. 78 - Shattered Glass Funny enough I've just seen her in a couple of old TV Series I've been watching... 1983 - Chips - Episode - Fox Trap 1984 - Automan - Episode - Murder MTV Anyway, thanks for the tunes DJDiscoCat
I realy loved all the songs of laura specially my late sister everytime i went back to japan i see to it that i had a new copy og laura for my sister and of course to me also when i feel loney i start playing her music and 'm relieved
Reminds me of nights at the Tropicana disco in Augsburg, Germany. Great times! Outstanding job remixing as always!!! Sure wish I could find a way to download on my iPhone.
Laura Branigan Descansa num lugar maravilhoso, só deixou saudades ela está em nossos corações com serteza, que voz que música que beleza ela tinha 🙏❤️👏👏👏
This is my song! Shout out to the GTA: Vice City soundtrack (I'm in my late 30s, btw) for my initial discovery of this song when the game originally came out. 😆
Hello from Italy: just a correction. RAF is not a Europop group but the short form name of RAFFAELE RIEFOLI who is an Italian singer pretty famous here. In the beginning of his career he was acclaimed for this killer eurodance hit back in the 80's following since then a music path more pop oriented. Love this Laura Branigan's version though.

I loved Laura Branigan! She passed away at just 52 y.o. Very sad. Superlative extending this monster hit!
Cremated in 2004.Also in an Automan episode

She left too early. I consider it 'tragic' that she had that took her away.
@@ScorpioBornIn69 As I Have Said, The Very UNFAIR, PART!!
That's my favorite childhood music till now...i really enjoyed it 😍😍😍 R.I.P Laura..🙏🙏
This was one and still is my favorite song to tear up the dance floor thanks for sharing 💯🥂👍🎭👀 Q.E.P.D. Miss Laura
she'd be so happy and we all know that she was and is Eternally beautiful...an Angel Lady!!!
thank you man!!!
