Forever Young - Laura Branigan"Forever Young" has become something of a pop culture standard. 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 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".

Actually Aplhaville wrote and recorded the song first. It was on their 1983/1984 album titled "Forever Young". You are correct though that Laura's version is off her 1985 "Hold Me" album.

LAura was the first person to record this song. As featured on her 1985 album HOLD ME. I miss Laura.

She was so beautiful and will always be young. She looks like a very good friend of mine that took her own life in 1995. they look so much alike they could have passed as sisters. life goes on but in some ways harder than others. RIP Laura and Michelle
