Publisher Synopsis
"It was always my road to have high drama onstage-Laura Nyro gave me a map." --Rickie Lee Jones<br><br>"She wrote about the world I lived in but infused it with so much passion that ordinary things-the weather, the river, the streets, the kids-glowed with a spiritual energy. Though we were plain, ordinary, nasty kids, when she sang she made us beautiful." --Suzanne Vega<br><br>"Laura Nyro you can lump me in with, because Laura exerted an influence on me. I looked to her and took some direction from her." --Joni Mitchell<br> Read more...
