I thought it was Donna Summer's new song, but I quickly figured out who this woman was and bought her album..I bought every album she ever released and my favorite was "Touch".....Her rendition of "The Power of Love" is one of the greatest vocal performances ever of any artist in recorded history...She reaches through the microphone and tears your heart out with that song...When i heard she passed away, I was in shock, i never knew she was sick, but she had been out of the limelight for a long time..I always loved loved loved her voice and hope she will always be remembered as a great vocalist and not some leftover from the 80's.....Nick.....

When the Remember Me EP came out fans went out of their minds over the idea that the versions were supposedly not approved by Laura. I've heard what are being called Laura's actual preferred versions and they are indeed different and better. <br><br>I'm glad this post got some attention. I think Laura was a good choice to profile. She had huge hits and was also underappreciated at the same time. Thanks for the correction.

I was very excited to see this.. Laura was always (and still is really) one of my all time favourite singers. I cried for about three days when I haeard she had passed. to clarify on a couple of things in your review though: The actual deal on "Remember Me" was that Laura had heard the mixes made by the record company, hated them and would not give permission for them to release the songs... Her contract with them was only for the singles "Gloria 2004" and "Self Control 2004." After her passing, they took it upon themselves to release the mixes they had made as this EP and, due to different copyright laws in Germany (the country where the label is located) and the fact that ownership of the recordings is still debated, there was no good way to stop the release. Her original versions of the songs on the EP are very different. Also, to correct a couple of things, "Back in Control" was only released in South Africa, as were its two singles, the 1999 versions of Self Control and Gloria. It only contained 5 new remixes, the rest being filled with various hits in their original form, and was not really used to make a comeback as Laura was no longer signed to Atlantic records at the time. Also "Turn the Beat Around" WAS commercially released as a 12" single, just not any other format. First… I was very excited to see this..

But how could you have neglected Laura Branigan's seminal performance and guest star role on "CHiPs"? The vague duet with Erik Estrada is priceless. Great post!
