Laura Nyro (1947-1997) was one of the most significant figures to
emerge from the singer-songwriter boom of the 1960s. She first came
to attention when her songs were hits for Barbra Streisand, The
Fifth Dimension, Peter, Paul and Mary, and others. But it was on
her own recordings that she imprinted her vibrant personality. With
albums like Eli and the Thirteenth Confession and New York
Tendaberry she mixed the sounds of soul, pop, jazz and Broadway to
fashion autobiographical songs that earned her a fanatical
following and influenced a generation of music-makers. In later
life her preoccupations shifted from the self to embrace public
causes such as feminism, animal rights and ecology - the music grew
mellower, but her genius was undimmed. This book examines her
entire studio career from 1967's More than a New Discovery to the
posthumous Angel in the Dark release of 2001. Also surveyed are the
many live albums that preserve her charismatic stage presence. With
analysis of her teasing, poetic lyrics and unique vocal and
harmonic style, this is the first-ever study to concentrate on
Laura Nyro's music and how she created it. Elton John idolised her;
Joni Mitchell declared her 'a true original'. Here's why.
