Hearing Laura's original of "Stone soul picnic", impressed me enough to seek out more of her music, then I heard "Buy and sell", it blew me away, turning me into a true fan - but it was THIS song that made me fall head over heels, truly, madly, deeply in love with her. The best romantic drama Hollywood never made!
She played the Festival Hall early seventies. My writing partner and I had front row seats and kept asking her for her controversial cocaine songs which she found amusing. I don't remember her doing December's Boudoir. No-one else but her could have conceived of such a piece. It still produces spine tingling sensations when revisiting the song and it still stands out as her most accomplished composition. I left behind a host of french converts when I left St Tropez in 1968:

I love this song even more now than the day the LP came out, when I was in my early college days. Laura Nyro is my all-time favorite female singer/songwriter/poet/performer. I Feel so blessed to have had many of her albums & spent many happy years with them on full blast while I grew past my formative years. . .to become an afficianado of similarly unique talent. Still, Laura is & always will be in a class all her own. An angelic gift...lent to us but for a short while...a genius beyond measure.
Such a mysterious song. Definitely points the way to "New York Tendaberry". It would have fit on that album. I love the lyric "I'm ageless loving you timelessly". It's like a hiku. But it's a challenging song. I was a Laura fan for a long time before I could really listen to it. It's so unpredictable. I never cease to hear something new in it.
This song always reminds of a love affair from long ago. One of my favorite songs by Laura.

"They fill me like melons. Touch me with chivalry." Absolute, pure, bloody genius.
God rest her soul.

One of the most beautiful songs of all times and not known enough

No other living singer would have dared to sustain
a dissonance such as here with the word 'chivalry'...
but, thank God, Laura wasn't really about what 'everybody
else was doing'...she could truly bend time and space...

I hope there will be a record company who will rerelease her albums remastered. It's so hard to find them in record stores
