laura nyro was a lesbian great music

[East]

I was so happy to hear Nyro was an inductee this year...I was rooting for Rufus and Chaka Khan but I loved Laura Nyro so I was at least partially happy...I like the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Website alot.

I saw Laura Nyro a few times when I was younger...one time in Santa Cruz I got to tell her how much I loved her show afterward............

...I liked when she sang "And When I Die" even though Blood Sweat and Tears had a hit with it...Nyro wrote SOOOOOOOOO MANY songs that other people had hits with...kinda like Carole King at the time...but I preferred alot of the songs when she sang them herself...

...I liked her own version of Wedding Bell Blues as well better than the Fifth Dimension's version...

So nice that you gave a nod to Laura Nyro...she was truly a great artist and worthy of the Hall of Fame and she was a lesbian as well and someone worthy of our respect as an artist and as a person. When she died I was sad...I made a post about Nyro on another board I used to post on...no one knew who she was or maybe no one cared.....




...and from the Monterey Pop Festival...Poverty Train...OMG......I remember how much I loved her when I hear her sing this..Chilling Peformance and song....
