@veeganboy Well, it's not really back-up. Laura was gracious enough to share billing and not egotistical to the point of wanting to hog the limelight. That said, her restraint actually benefits Patti and Co. as well. They're not as over the top as they so often were elsewhere.

Patti shines str8 through this song!

One of those rare tunes when you become totally in awe of the power of not
only the composition (Marvin Gaye), but the phrasing and singing of the song,
the harmonies and the total end product........
That part about Laura having to play vocal catch-up with Ms Patti, Sarah & Nona...
It's 3 against 1...........Sista' Laura does very well.RIP

I didn't just 'like' this woman, I loved her!!! And to think that background was where Patti LaBelle and the Bluebells got their start with this fab singer. I miss her so much and her music. Rest in Peace . Can't you hear that familiar Patti 'warble' in the background AND especially Nona! They were hot!

Laura Nyro with LaBelle

Interesting choice for this cover.......Looks like Naomi Watts & Modonna`s X.

The artist is not Patti LaBelle. She (they) are the back-up vocals. Not to diminish their contribution to the recording...but...this is Laura.



The first time I heard this song I was at a party, half drunk with a bunch of fellow 20 somethings (long time ago, whew!) The whole party stopped until the song ended then started up, again, like nothing had happened. I was dumbstruck. I don't think I spoke more than 5 words the rest of the nite. I was hooked on her music from that point on.
