Was it something that they said? Is there a faulty blood vessel in your head?

Or

Final Gloria

Or

How are we supposed to live without her?

(Props to Joan-Marie)
America has another reason not to call, as one-hit ‘80s wonder Laura Branigan died of a brain aneurysm last week at the age of 42, a performance Tammy can’t wait for Michael Bolton to cover. She earned a total of 4 Grammy nominations among her 7 albums, but the only reason you’re reading this obit right now is the 1982 hit Gloria, which somehow stayed atop the charts for 22 weeks. She also recorded Solitaire, How Am I Supposed to Live Without You?, Self Control, acted in an off-Broadway musical about Janis Joplin, had guest spots on ChiPs and Automan and contributed songs to the score of Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. She also performed the last song ever on American Bandstand, Shattered Glass in 1987, and was working on material for a new album. But in the end, her time in the spotlight was short, for B-R-A, single-N I, G-A-N, you see, is a name that lasting fame never has been connected with. Bran-i-gan, she's dead.
