She poured so much of her soul into the songs she wrote, she left us too early. If you think about it, so many of her pieces were used by other more known stars to make hits...Dionne, Barbara, Thre Dog Night, 5th Dimension, etc. She never truly got the recognition she so richly deserved. So many songs i grew up with...I never knew Laura had written and recorded them first, but now as i rediscover them thanks to YouTube, I realize what a gifted and spiritually rich talent she truly was.

Her arrangement is superb............

I first heard Laura Nyro on the Rock Machine album of the 60s. Then I re-discovered her in the 1980s when I bought an album compilation in Belgium. What a find! I've now bought all her albums and love them all, especially how she developed from album to album. So sad she's no longer with us. But not forgotten.

It really bothers me that she has not received the recognition so many of her peers did. Maybe if she had spent time in southern California. Any way, I can't think of a better singer songwriter, period.
How come there's no comment about this song? Laura, I love you and I'll always will. Your songs have inspired me a great deal!

To the person who thinks Burt Bachrach loved what laura did, I never got that feeling when he would condescend to mention her by name. He really made me mad, she was /is still so towering in her effect on music of today. Dionne however does some great covers on youtube of Laura's stuff. she does it w/ the girls from the 5th D.
