Laura Nyro - He's a Runner (Jan. 15, 1969)

She was a powerful storm!!!

been singing this one a lot at the moment....guess i'm feeling it's meaning too well :(
ahead of her time? certainly
timeless
woman get away while you can....guess i should have listened
love love love

So far ahead of her time ~ she is, now, more popular than ever ...

thank God ... Laura finally get's her so very far over due appreciation.

I was lucky enough to see her a couple of times in the 70's....her music literally changed my life..I have never heard a singer of her genius since..she was...truly...a gift from God..

I'd like to point something out about this remarkable genius. She sings, as a very young woman, with the same power and simplicity that Johnny Cash took a lifetime to master. It's just that simple.

I feel so beside myself that I always thought I knew something about music-'specially R&B-until I viewed 5 D"s Wedding Bells Blues...realized Laura wrote the song. Never heard of her before I decided to look onto her works here. Needless to say I am COMPLETELY in awe of so much talent coming in a total package!!! Added to it (i.e. this song) it's TIMELESS!!! I'm ensuring she's definitely being added into my collection! Also I'm joining the effort to put her in the Hall of Fame...R.I.P. Laura.

If you haven't already, check out New York Tandeberry...beautiful lyrics & singing!

I definitely will....already purchased the Essentials CD for starters...either getting that one Eli and the 13th Confession LP next....

as some intelligent pop star put it recently--the big music labels have been trying to remove the artist from the equation in the music business for a long time. Well, they've finally done it , no more like her. those f-ing creeps.

this just blows me away everytime i see it!!!
not much footage of laura and this is priceless!!!!!!!
