Damn. That one hit me.
Whenever the wife had "Field Day" in the house, we'd put on "Gloria" and get pumped listening to it. Made the work a lot easier.
They don't show up much in photos, but as my boy said, she had the TRIPPIEST eyes - VERY pale blue that looked into your soul.
I know - talked with her one time at one of the old Solid Gold shows and told her she was a super talent. She said "Thanks", smiled, and gave my shoulder a squeeze. Fried every damn brain cell I had and I haven't been the same ever since.
Don't know why she never really caught on - she could really belt out the songs and had a beautiful personality that matched her looks.

So sorry to hear this. "Self Control" was one of my favorites. Nicolette Larson also died of a brain aneursym some years ago. Two lovely and talented ladies.

How sad. I hated her song 'Gloria' but did like 'Self Control'.

I've been listening to "Gloria" all week because I checked out a greatest 80s CD from the library.Lucky you. The best cd my library carries is Jim Nabor's Greatest Hits.

Did she do "I Will Survive" too? I thought I didn't know who she was but it seems I listened to her stuff and just didn't know her name.
"I Will Survive" is such a great song to lipsync.

Hopefully Laura is now with her husband. I know he passed away a few years ago.
