AP did a corrected Obit today 2/17/2017 http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/U/US_OBIT_BRANIGANCORRECTIVE?SITE=AP&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT&CTIME=2017-02-17-11-34-00
Based on that I have updated the birth year. [1] — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.250.75.112 ( talk • contribs) 00:36, 18 February 2017 (UTC)

I did read the note & read the lengthy debate LOL but I thought that was because there was still doubt. I was in shock to look at AP breaking news & see a Laura Obit. Then saw AP seeming to have a debate within itself like the one on Wiki LOL.
Would not have corrected it otherwise but thought the AP doing a revised Obit 12 1/2 years later was a point to update the page.
Also for a point in the Wiki Page in Early years it states Branigan attended Byram Hills High School in 1966 to 1970 If she was born in 1957 she was in High School at 9 years old?
1 other small point. While this is unverifiable for Wiki editing , when Gloria came out in 1982 I do remember her being referred to as 30 years old. Same as when Bonnie Tyler was big in 1983 it was known she was 32 years old. Later on her DOB became 1953. It took years but now 1951 is the accepted date.
2016-10-03 Manhattan's a better read than Mt. Kisco! So you mean Manhattan, New York is correct? People from Armonk said to me... hmmm sure of that? So it is Manhattan? StigP No. NOT Manhattan. It sounds hip & sexy! She didn't want to say Mount Kisco. A teenager telling a lie. ®olle Not born in Manhattan !!!! Period. Paragraph. ®olle Laura was born: City: Mt. Kisco County: Westchester But you already know this. ®olle . Are we agreed about Mt Kisco? StigP . This is her last contact with me. She was very furious when I still asked about NY or Mt. Kisco. This answer ended all.. Enough! You know she was born in Mount Kisco !!!! I wouldn't read too much into her writing Manhattan. However If it's desperately important to you find an expert online. Good luck & good bye. ®olle. I was later told that Laura hated to say Mount Kisco. It was more cool, hip, etc. by saying New York. I decided to trust her, though she knew Laura. And Mt Kisco hasn't been denied from the Branigan's who still are alive. A lady from Armonk has offered to help me in my search for Laura's birth announcements. She is a former librarian at The New York Public Library. She has access to the archives and knows where to look. The paper we are looking after is on microfilm. I can only hope and pray she will find something. That would end all discussions about Laura Branigan. That's all I have, hope you are satisfied. Though I have ended writing in Wikipedia, this was just for me a "one time" jump in. Now it is up to wikipedia to handle it like you want. To be honest, wiki doesn't interest me. I have my own Laura wiki, supported from Los Angeles.-- Born53 swe ( talk) 12:14, 22 February 2017 (UTC)
Now that her date of birth in the lead and infobox has been changed to 1952 - which I think was the correct course of action - we need to update the text of the explanatory footnote, which currently still states:
Branigan's year of birth is disputed. Although most contemporary sources give her birth year as 1957, at least two sources indicate a birthdate of 1954–1955, [1] [2] and some sources state that she was born in 1952. [3] [4] [5] [6]
I propose changing it to read:
Branigan's year of birth has been disputed. Although most sources at the time of her death gave her birth year as 1957, it has subsequently been accepted by reliable sources that she was born in 1952. [7] [8] [9] [10]

Billboard magazine states soprano https://books.google.fi/books?id=FRMEAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA12&lpg=PA12&dq=laura+branigan+soprano&source=bl&ots=oIRzYL8Z96&sig=vbYrk8Mjtkdq2tK3CpRGEh7EBfg&hl=fi&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjbmYH7tZXYAhWENJoKHdSzB38Q6AEIUDAK#v=onepage&q&f=false. Probably timbre of her voice can be compared to famous opera singer Anna Netrebko. more of dark timbre, but still soprano. -- Hartz ( talk) 06:19, 19 December 2017 (UTC)
Removed "16 her senior" bout her husband. Has no importance anyone but ageists, age would not have been mentioned if the gap had been smaller. There is clear subtle prejudice (and therefore discrimination!) putting special attention on it in this article! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.253.100.249 ( talk) 16:15, 26 August 2019 (UTC)
