My word Laura Nyro was a genius! Just dug out Eli And The Thirteenth Confession haven't heard it in ages. The vocal arrangements are just stunning and so much happens in her compositions that the songs seem longer than they really are. And I want Sweet Blindness played at my funeral it never fails to make me smile.

Love her. Hate about three fourths of her material. But that remaining quarter is magic! “The man who never looks into a newspaper is better informed than he who reads them, inasmuch as he who knows nothing is nearer to truth than he whose mind is filled with falsehoods and errors.”

I loved her collaboration with Labelle on "Gonna Take a Miracle". She reminds me of Carole King in some ways. | |

 Yep, her voice and her soul tunes are definitely influenced by Carole King, although she's actually a better artist than King (when she's not being too self indulgent that is).“The man who never looks into a newspaper is better informed than he who reads them, inasmuch as he who knows nothing is nearer to truth than he whose mind is filled with falsehoods and errors.”

Hey tA nowt wrong with the odd rediscovery thread now and again!
I'm good thanx for asking went to see Steely Dan the other week hadn't seen them since 96. Great gig they did Show Biz Kids and My Old School which was great because Countdown to Ecstacy is my favorite album.

i love her stuff, especially the song "i never meant to hurt you".
sometimes her lyrics are kinda "wtf?!?"-ish to me, but in a really scatterbrained-genius way, sorta like an earthy, mellowed-out 70s version of bjork. i've laughed out loud at her songs a few times, and i'm not really sure why, other than i have no idea what she's on about. sometimes though, her words are crystal clear. | |
