Although "Gloria" took several weeks to become a hit, once it did, the song remained on the charts several months. The track came from Laura's debut LP, Branigan released in '82. Laura's first big appearance on pop radio was with the single "Gloria" which became a huge #1 hit and the staple song of her career. A change in managers resulted in a breach-of-contract lawsuit, but it didn't deter Laura from becoming one of the biggest female pop artists of the decade. By 1977, Laura had determination to become a solo artist and 2 years later was signed with Atlantic Record. Laura was a former backing vocalist with Leonard Cohen in the late 70s and toured with him throughout Europe. In the mid-70s, Laura attended the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York City. Although a performance career was never something Laura wanted in her childhood, her lead role in a senior play in high school quickly changed her mind and her future. Laura Branigan was born in New York on Jjust outside New York City.
,It was confirmed to OneStor earlier today from Joan Di Tursi Laura's previous manager that Laura had passed away in her sleep last night Thursday August 26th 2004 of a Brain aneurysm.
