I really love her relaxing voice even with talking it’s so smooth and relaxed and calming to hear And she sounds introverted in a lovely way which is like me sometimes and a very sweet talking woman.
My aunt Jean introduced me to Laura's album Eli and the thirteenth confession back around 1970 when I was five years old. She used to sing the songs from the album to me and my sister. I have loved Laura Nyro since that time. I have great memories of my childhood and her music. I'm sorry she's gone. She was brilliant and her voice was pure and magnificent!
Her world was so passionate and elegant. He music was beautifully done by so many pop stars, but when played her music, it touched the vibrant chords in my heart. Miss her.
Love Laura--always have always will---she was just too sensitive an artist for this cruel world. But thanks for all the great music---especially New York Tenderberry----as a NYC person it speaks to me still.
She is pretty well baked, which is perfectly cool. Allows her to be creative in conversation just like she is in her songs. Hard for me to imagine what kind of person she really is, based on interviews like this. One thing I'm pretty sure of, though, is she's both highly complex as well as strong. I went to college in the 60s and I knew my share of sensitive intellectual Jewish girls from NYC.
She is one of the very few talented singers/entertainers who didn’t NEED to be famous. She loved writing songs and singing. Fame was not some thing that she courted.
I agree with Laura Nyro pain can either do two things, it can either shatter you or make you a better person if you grow from it and turn it into something beautiful.
WOW what an amazingly thought provoking and intimate interview , this wonderful musician touched so many and influenced the best and still does ,her album Christmas and the beads of sweat is a masterpiece ,and like Joni s Blue still resonates today 50 years later , that's genius !
@123kingkongphoto The video is said to have been wiped. Television used to do that in those days to cut costs. After the program was aired, they would record over the tape. We are lucky to have the audio as a Nyro fan held a tape recorder up to the tv the time of the broadcast and was kind enough to share it with fellow fans years later. Laura performed several songs from 'New York Tendaberry' on the program also.
Sorry Cathy, but I know her Boyfriend when she was alive Jim Fielder of Blood Sweat and Tears and she did NOT do heroin don't spread nasty rumors of someone deceased and brilliant...
She speaks softly like jackie Kennedy, her pain, was not being bigger singing her own songs and only David Geffen believed in her, no one could classify her music.
WOW....Thanks for that ! I was reading about it...In Michelle korts book just today... I would love to see the video...do you know where I can get it ?
We used to have a more gentrified society where we did have people that were native of New York City, and Los Angeles, making music and making music..Now we don’t have this kind of world. To become more innovative we do need to look for a new different kinds of music in New York City, and Los Angeles and San Francisco area and Boston’s a major hub ups and look for more sophisticated music. This is a really good artist to Laurel was a great artist in her own right in a certain area but now we’re in a different era. We need to go up further, and we need to look for different kinds of music, something more creative and other directions, even though she was creative and her time. We are all really not doing well culturally by ignoring people from major cities, including London, and other major cities these are people that are transplant, so they have no they’re not really people from any major hubs. That’s why the music doesn’t sound gentrified anymore.
I've had a recording of this show for a few years now but besides the Doors show I've not heard or seen any other info about this show, does anyone know of any other episodes or if any others survive?
She went to Music and Art HS - once the coolest high school in America - until it merged with PA and became LaGuardia - which is run by the dorkiest people in America. Everybody was stoned in those days.
I'd like to have a love that reminds me of Oxygen, generosity, accessibility, a girl in the beauty level like Laura Nyro. I get over the pixie girl. Nov10. 401pm 💐
