So many amazing songs on this album. At random, I will crave any one of about 7 songs from this classic disc. At the moment, this is what I want to hear. 1968.. 1968.. it's insane that she pulled off this masterpiece at a time when The Beatles were just really getting their shit together.. It literally sounds like something that came out this year. Laura Nyro is one of the most brilliant singer/songwriter/composers of all time. And fairly unknown, sadly.You hear this album and don't realize that many things she did on this record had NEVER been done before. She swings between musical genres and musical tempos in a way that had NEVER EVER been done by anyone before her. Pure awesomeness.

She was great. This is my favorite female singer of all time and I have some I really like. I just don't know who sing likes her and her lyrics are deep man. I don't think Laura got the credit she did because she was to mentally advanced with a message and the industry wasn't ready for that. See this is what you call an ARTIST. So many use that term lightly today but this woman composed her own music, wrote it, arranged it, and that microphone was a paintbrush and the world was her canvas. She was showing us something but nobody was looking.

Of all the performer/songwriters that emerged in the 60's, Laura Nyro was the one who, perhaps more than any other,left no doubt that the heart alone was the pilot and guide of her pure and entirely original musical genius. To this day, no one hits harder, deeper, or is more missed by those by whom she is revered. And when I die, someone better bloody well play some Nyro. Make sure to include "I am the Blues"...

Simply gorgeous music. Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Laura Nyro now a member? That would be true. No surprise to me. Not in the least. Laura Nyro - A musical genius. Anyone that takes half a second to listen to her library of songs will have their socks knocked off.

Too true. Inventive music with this kind of emotion and honesty is rare...especially these days, when it seems like anyone with recording gear and a computer can put out an album. The industry has just been flooded with crap.

Too many of my friends rode this train back then and I still miss them. They left this world too early. "I heard my bones cry, Devil's why's this got to be?"
