Laura Branigan: a name that perhaps for many of you is almost unknown or, for others, simply attributed to only three songs by the great success, the English version of the songs "Gloria" and "Ti Amo" by Umberto Tozzi and "Self Control" by Raf. Laura was a pop singer from the extraordinary career, her famous songs were also many others, she lives the eighties entirely as the protagonist and her song "Imagination" became part of the  movie soundtrack "Flashdance". With her vocal chords as a "fiddle" and her heart as a "piano" she was likened to one of the most famous voices of all time: Celine Dion. By Irish heritage, everyone knows that Laura Branigan was born in 1957 but, in reality, she was born in 1952, this was a strategy to attract a younger audience to which her songs were dedicated. Her younger brother Billy Branigan, instead, really was born in 1957 and not being twins is clear that they could not be born in the same year! Today, July 3rd, 2016, Laura would have turned 64 years, we want to dedicate to her mother, to her loved ones, to her friends and to her fans, but especially to her, this article and the research that has allowed us to write it, for which we were lucky enough to have precious, personal info and tips directly from woman who was her assistant until the last days of her life. The first time that Laura appeared in a newspaper was in February 1952 because her mother, already pregnant, had an automobile accident. Fortunately she reported only minor injuries, the fracture of the ribs and an ankle but no problem for the child in the womb. Laura Branigan loved very much coming to Italy, loved to travel and meet people from around the world. Her big heart along with that her ability to transcend the space between the audience and the stage have made she so unique and forever "blazoned". During an interview with the Italian weekly "Il Monello", Laura Branigan had stated that her greatest fear was to lose a loved one, she often spoke of her grandparents, family members and closest friends. She was a much emotional and sensitive person
