Forever Young - Laura Branigan


 
   

Laura Branigan- July 3rd 1957-August 26th 2004 In loving Memory..."Forever Young" has become something of a pop culture standard. Originally written and recored by Alphaville in 1984. It has been performed by numerous musical groups and in different versions and has appeared in television series, movies, and advertisements. The song plays during scenes in the television series Passions, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia (episode 103: "Underage Drinking: A National Concern"), the North American version of Queer as Folk (season 1, episode 18), and One Tree Hill (season 4, episode 16). It also plays in the movie Listen to Me and during the school dance scene of the 2004 film Napoleon Dynamite. In 2006 and 2007 the song was used in advertisements for the Scandinavian banks SEB in Sweden and Nordea in Denmark. It also appeared in prom-themed advertisements for Saturn ION automobiles.Just a year after the song's initial release, pop singer Laura Branigan covered "Forever Young" on her 1985 album "Hold Me" and began a tradition of performing the song as an encore at her concerts. In 1996 the Canadian Eurodance group Temperance released a cover version of the song which reached number 8 on the Canadian Dance Chart. Idol 2006 contestant Sara Burnett performed "Forever Young" on the Swedish television show. Her performance qualified her for the show's top 10 and appears on the soundtrack Det bästa från idol 2006 (The best from Idol 2006). Other artists to have covered "Forever Young" in the years since its original release include the Countdown Singers, DJ Space C, David Monte Cristo, DJ Company, Dune, BnH, Emil Wakin Chau, Fire & Ice, Interactive, Waterboy, Ella, Tune Up!, Youth Group and Axel Rudi Pell. In 2001 Swedish group Ainbusk re-wrote the song in their native language as an existential Christmas carol titled "Förevigt nu".

I always thought Laura Branigan had a great voice, and a lot of energy in her performances when I saw her on tv.I just for the hell of it tryped in Laura Branigan on YOUTUBE. When songs of hers came up, I scrolled down and remembered this song. When I clicked on it, and listened to it, I started reading the comments. I had no idea she had died. Too bad. Another talent taken too soon.

Pitty a comment like that was left. Laura Branigan may not have been the most popular singer, but the songs she sang in the 80's were awesome and will be remembered by lots of fans. Sad to she passed away so sudden. Her version of "Power of Love" still remais my favorite !...
