FRANK! Doesn`t she look Italian? WOW..! Maybe even Calabresi. NYRO (pronounced NEE-RO) stage name) NIGRO is the family name.

@moonchildiva There have been a few copycats though.

Great song! Laura seemed to have a thing for Captains.... ;))
KUTVgroucho, Personally, I think the arrangements on her first 5 albums are pretty much perfect. They are quirky and cool, almost Big Band Swing sounding, and they tend to be full of little nuances, and musical surprises, which I think compliments her imaginative song writing very nicely - and her voice and piano, are always right up front, which for me, is the most important thing.

This song is amazing, I would love to hear Tori Amos cover this I think she could do it justice , but no one drives it like the owner!

I've been listening steadily to Laura Nyro for a year and I am in love with her voice and her songs. Yet, I can't help but wonder if the traditional 60s pop strings and brass-heavy arrangements present on many songs, especially on those with different meters and tempi, don't weigh them down. I wonder if something more muted, subtle, or even avant garde might have complimented her voice and the material more effectively. This song in particular makes me think that. Thoughts anyone?



There's only ONE Laura Nyro, there's no one like her, I don't think there ever WILL BE. She just sends chills down my spine, even after all these years. Her music changed my life.

100 years from now history will note that Laura Nyro was one of the greatest songwriter performers of the twentieth century and, for my money, of all time. She reaches way down deep into our souls.
