Other Half Entertainment, Laura's management company at the time of her death, continues to oversee her career legacy through her official website, her official MySpace and Facebook pages, by taking part in various media opportunities, sponsoring and hosting the "Spirit Of Love" Memorial Gatherings, as well as through relationships with Warner Music Group and other entertainment industry entities. Fans look forward to future annual "Spirit of Love" Memorial Gatherings. The memorial gathering was a very special time of coming together to remember Laura and to celebrate her life and artistry. This weekend event was held near the Long Island, New York home where Laura last resided while caring for her mother. Laura affectionately referred to her fans many times as her "other half." On the first anniversary of Laura's passing in 2005, Laura's "other half" gathered together for the first Laura Branigan "Spirit Of Love" Memorial Gathering. She expressed, "I want to touch people's hearts, to get right down to their souls." To listen to Laura's interpretation of a song is to become immersed with her in its emotion. The way she delivered a lyric was always very genuine, very real. Laura said that she wanted to stand on her voice alone - for her, it was always about the "big" voice, the power, and the emotion in every note. Her range coupled with the incredible but precisely controlled power of her voice simply blows the listener away. The distinctiveness of Laura's voice is undeniably recognized as being hers and hers alone. History was made in 2010 when Warner Music Gallo Africa released Shine On: The Ultimate Collection" on CD+DVD, with the groundbreaking inclusion of Laura's Atlantic music videos on DVD for the first time ever! In 2008, Laura's albums Touch, Laura Branigan, and Over My Heart were reissued. The years since her passing have seen the release of the 2006 UK greatest hits compilation, The Platinum Collection and the 2007 repackaging of Laura's US hits compilation, The Best Of Branigan, as part of Warner Music's "Greatest Hits" series. And no matter where I am it's the same there's a reason we call music the universal language.” It's the ultimate high you can reach as a musician - an incredible feeling. In reference to performing live, she said, “When you're on stage, the audience becomes your other half.
She performed for audiences in the United States, Canada, Europe, South America, Asia, Australia, and Africa, touring the world several times with consistently sold-out shows to her credit. These cumulative sales have garnered Laura various Gold and Platinum record awards from both the RIAA in the US and similar entities in other countries. Laura's US album and single sales have exceeded ten million, with her multiple international greatest hits compilations having sold additional millions in every world market. This hits compilation included two new cover tracks, "Show Me Heaven" and "Dim All The Lights." In 1995, a US greatest hits collection called The Best of Branigan was released. This recording was by far her most personally reflective to date. With this album, she added producing to her repertoire with her cover of the disco-era "Turn The Beat Around." Laura's seventh studio album, Over My Heart, was released in 1993.
