Thank you for this! Sidewalk and pigeon . . . Laura is my favorite, too. I still tell people that when I die, I just want to go to wherever Laura Nyro now resides.
That's a splendid piece, Robert! I was a Laura acolyte from the beginning. Gonna Take A Miracle is an all-time favourite, if only for the work with LaBelle.
The Intensity of Eli and New York Tendaberry meant it wasn't background music while chit-chat went on. It was reserved for headphones and the lyrics floating through your head. The Fifth Dimension did some of the tunes justice, but, as you say, some of the feeling was missing. Still, I hope that the royalties helped Laura make her way.
I lost track of Laura after a fashion, and then, suddenly she was gone, and I wondered what happened.
Thanks for helping me re-visit unique artist. Now, I must find time to listen to those first albums.

Fantastic, as always, Robert! I didn't know a whole lot of Nyro's work outside of 'Wedding Bell Blues.'
In case you take suggestions, Robert, here are a few I'd love to see covered: Blossom Dearie, Susannah McCorkle, Lenny Breau, Jon Jendricks.
Wishin' and hopin'.🙏
Beautiful, Robert.
Another fine piece Robert! My college roommates had a few of her albums. I liked her song writing and lyrics. She died way too young.
