Laura Branigan's sudden death

...her first album.



I was just about to turn off the TV and fall asleep when my eye caught a familiar name scrolling across the news ticker on CNN. Laura Branigan died of a brain aneurysm in her sleep on Thursday. She was only 47. I literally sat up in bed and said 'holy shit!'.



Absolutely a music staple of the 80's...her songs of course included "Gloria", "How Am I Supposed To Live Without You", "The Lucky One", "Self Control", and "Forever Young". Music is indeed the soundtrack of your life, and she'll always be a voice that reminds me of living in Boston.



Seems like this has been the month of musical deaths...Jerry Goldsmith, Elmer Bernstein, Rick James.
