laura nyro : a fan's tribute

[peaceme2]

Beautiful ... thank you... so passionate about her!

[debobeck]

Thank you so much .I've been a fan of Laura Nyro since the 1960's. Unpretentious and soulful singers with this much depth are rare these days.

i agree debobeck. lately, i've been listening to diane birch ... she's talented, s great voice, and has a real '70's sensibility to her work, not to mention being a great pianist. look for "ariel" or "nothing but a miracle" (preferably the david letterman version) on youtube. thanks for your comments and supposot.

[sheffnyrofan]

what a lady.. i grew up with laura being played and have loved her ever since!! yes overlooked, yes so talented, and so emotional..

even here later material had the same class.

check out the words on "mr blue" its just a stunner.. i am lousy at loading stuff so if anyone can load that track it will be a bonus for as us all!! merry xmas and thanks x

Gorgeous, Super-Talented, Musical Genius and an ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL HUMAN BEING!

Yet, the Music World tended to overlook her...maybe she was too much of a threat, because she was such a GENIUS!

So many, many Artists had hits with her songs and they got the glory, but not so much for Laura.. I MISS HER SO MUCH!!!

[ottowes]

Very nice! Always thought that it was just me that was so moved by Laura, and now find out that everyone who listened felt the same way...We miss you, Laura! Thanks for this!

[kurt11110]

Love this. Hey, did you have a photo of Charlotte Gainsbourg mixed in there? I have a crush on both Laura and Charlotte.

[kurt11110]

wow, you have a good eye. i put it in by accident when i was looking for pictures of laura, but thought i might as well leave it in, they do sort of resemble each other back when she was much younger. glad you liked the video, i also have one for her great tune timer.

[Orishanla]

Lovely, lovely, lovely. She would have been deeply touched, as I am.

[kurt11110]

thank you orishania, and i appreciate that you like mary oliver. i live in berkeley and discovered her poems at black oak books.

[faroutlindsey]

I could have not been around her and not have fallen in love with her bet my heart would have been in pieces.

I have watched and listened to thousands of music videos on this YouTube but Laura you are the only one that can make me cry....

[kurt11110]

[Aslanspal]

I will say it...Laura had more soul than any African American I have ever heard. imho she was black light and beautiful...an 'Angel in the Dark'

[deadfishdontswimhome]

[kmoots]

What a beautiful and loving tribute to one of the greatest singer/songwriters. I'm sure she's smiling down on you now. Thanks so much for sharing.
