Obsessing over Laura Nyro

[cilla4progress]

tonight!

Absolutely canNOT find any live video footage of her, though!

Help?

1. I have her biography and all.of her albums -- She was great

but why are you obsessing?

[cilla4progress]

2. I forgot about her -

trying hard unsuccessfully to find video of her singing! She hits some amazing notes, beautiful voice!

10. As a singer and a songwriter, she

was both fabulous and underappreciated.. Probably known best for other people's renditions of her songs, like "Eli's Coming", by Three Dog Night, "And When I Die" by Blood Sweat and Tears, etc.

3. I saw her perform at Wiltern Theater in LA.

Unforgettable.

5. What a talent!

Another one lost too Young - 49.

13. Wiltern was packed with artists there to worship her.

She hadn’t done a concert in years. This was an incredibly rare and special night.

Our seats were about 12th row.

Madonna and Warren Beatty were in front of us.

Nyro was mesmerizing.

8. Thank you!

That was a religious experience.

6. Not just a singer, also an incredible writer. She wrote a lot of other groups hits.

The "Fifth Dimension" got famous from her songs.

Extra impressive knowing how bad the audio quality is.

[cilla4progress]

16. Who do we think that is

harmonizing with her? Goosebumps.

17. I once posted something like this here, some years ago-

1980's singer, white guy with some facial hair, sounded black, can't remember his name. Within minutes I had the name I couldn't remember, Grayson Hugh.
