Behind The Music

Laura Nyro

She was not only an engaging performing, her songs were covered by everyone from Barbra Streisand to Three Dog Night

Writer and Music Historian John Einarson remembers the great singer & songwriter Laura Nyro on her birthday!

Born on this date, October 18, 1947, Laura Nyro (born Laura Nigro in the Bronx, NY), singer songwriter. She achieved critical acclaim with her own recordings, particularly the albums Eli and the Thirteenth Confession (1968) and New York Tendaberry (1969), and had commercial success with artists such as Barbra Streisand and The 5th Dimension recording her songs. Her style was a hybrid of Brill Building-style New York pop, jazz, rhythm and blues, show tunes, rock, and soul. Between 1968 and 1970, a number of artists had hits with her songs: The 5th Dimension with "Blowing Away", "Wedding Bell Blues", "Stoned Soul Picnic", "Sweet Blindness", and "Save the Country"; Blood, Sweat & Tears and Peter, Paul and Mary, with "And When I Die"; Three Dog Night and Maynard Ferguson, with "Eli's Comin' "; and Barbra Streisand with "Stoney End", "Time and Love", and "Hands off the Man (Flim Flam Man)".

Nyro's best-selling single was her recording of Carole King and Gerry Goffin's "Up on the Roof". For a time in the latter 60s her career was managed by a young David Geffen (photo below) who set up a publishing company for Nyro's songs and got her signed to Columbia Records after Nyro auditioned for Clive Davis in her apartment.

In late 1996, Nyro, like her mother before her, was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. After the diagnosis, Columbia Records prepared a double-disc CD retrospective of material from her years at the label. The company involved Nyro herself, who selected the tracks and approved the final project. She lived to see the release of Stoned Soul Picnic: The Best of Laura Nyro (1997), and was reportedly pleased with the outcome. She died of ovarian cancer in Danbury, Connecticut, on April 8, 1997, at 49.

Nyro's influence on popular musicians has also been acknowledged by such artists as Joni Mitchell, Carole King, Tori Amos, Patti Smith, Kate Bush, Janis Ian, Diamanda Galas, Bette Midler, Rickie Lee Jones, Elton John, Jackson Browne with whom she had a romantic relationship in the late '60s, Alice Cooper, Elvis Costello, Cyndi Lauper, Todd Rundgren, Steely Dan, Melissa Manchester, Lisa Germano, and Rosanne Cash. Todd Rundgren stated that once he heard her, he "stopped writing songs like The Who and started writing songs like Laura." Cyndi Lauper acknowledged that her rendition of the song "Walk On By", on her Grammy Award-nominated 2003 cover album At Last, was inspired by Nyro. Elton John and Elvis Costello discussed Nyro's influence on both of them during the premiere episode of Costello's interview show Spectacle. When asked by the host if he could name three great performer/songwriters who have largely been ignored, he cited Nyro as one of his choices. Elton John also addressed Nyro's influence on his 1970 song "Burn Down the Mission", from Tumbleweed Connection, in particular. "I idolized her," he concluded. "The soul, the passion, just the out and out audacity of the way her rhythmic and melody changes came was like nothing I've heard before."

A biography of Nyro, Soul Picnic: The Music and Passion of Laura Nyro, written by Michele Kort, was published in 2002 by Thomas Dunne Books/St. Martin's Press.

One of the finest singer/songwriters ever.

All the surviving members of Led Zeppelin managed to do surprising things after the band, but John Paul Jones probably topped them all with The Sporting Life, his collaboration with Diamanda Galas. The latter frightens me, because her singing can evoke the greatest horror. While she's subtle in comparison to the rest of her opus on The Sporting Life, her vocal acrobatics still startle us on the disc. On the other hand, Mr. Jones complements her quite well, since they mix blues and avant-garde into an intoxicating 90's-like blend, which resembles Barry Adamson's greatest fever dream. Yes, John Paul Jones, George Harrison of Led Zeppelin, proves yet again he was more than just a bassist for one of the greatest rock groups.

Do you have a favorite quote from Jonesy?

the first thing that comes to mind is from jonesy's interview with diamanda galas in 1994 with bomb magazine

x

because how can you not go gaga over a man saying something like that.

mostly, though, i don't really remember quotes from jpj as much as i remember his attitude and energy; he can be a man of few words and they're often the correct ones. he's also just a total goofball and i love that about him. i feel like if you're a surface zep fan, you see him as the generic "quiet one" but he's anything but. shine a little light on him and he'll entertain the masses.

also i like this
