Since we're all about dividing people up and assigning labels and putting folks in groups, let's just say the world is made up of people who think Laura Nyro was a poet / prophetess / feminist with a genuinely unique songwriting gift.
Wedding Bell Blues
Stoned Soul Picnic
Eli's Coming
And When I Die
Sweet Blindness
Save the Country
The rest of the world is made up of folks who will say, "Laura who?" And that's their lost, for real.
Nyro died nearly 30 years ago of ovarian cancer, the same disease that took her mother. Both she and her mother were 49 years old at the time of their deaths.
