Laura Nyro was a pioneering force in the singer-songwriter movement, blending pop, jazz, gospel, and soul into a sound that was wholly her own. Her timeless compositions, including “Eli’s Comin’,” “Stoned Soul Picnic,” and “And When I Die,” have been recorded by legends like Barbra Streisand, The 5th Dimension, and Blood, Sweat & Tears. A Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee, Nyro’s influence can be heard in the work of artists from Elton John and Joni Mitchell to Alicia Keys and St. Vincent. Her music continues to captivate, offering a singular blend of poetic introspection and genre-defying innovation.
