1. Loved her music

I have every one of her albums and still listen to them to this day. Will never get tired of them.

2. Laura Nyro...One of the Greats.

Criminally under-recognized and unsung.

3. All of her hits were performed by other artists

Personally, I liked the way she sang them better than anything that was performed by others, like The Fifth Dimension, Three Dog Night, Blood, Sweat and Tears, Barbara Streisand, and probably a few more I can't think of at the moment.

and, with the possible exception of the Three Dog Night version of "Eli's coming". I also preferred HER rendition of her songs over the many who sang them

She died, most unfortunately, of Ovarian Cancer at age 48., the same thing that killed Gilda Radnor at the similarly young age of 43.
