Laura Brannigan has died of a brain aneurysm aged 47.
Sad news, Cam.
I thought her 1984 track "Self Control" was excellent. (It reached number 4 in the UK charts.)
"Gloria" (perhaps her most famous record) wasn't a bad song either. 'Gloria' reached number 6 in the UK charts in 1982, and was a very big hit in her native USA, reaching number 2 in the American charts.
She has died at the very young age of 47 in her home at New York.
