Laura Nyro, one of my very favourites.

I like/love all her albums but what she made from 1966-70 was just incredible. Talk about inspired.





One of the things I find most mind-boggling about her was just how young she was when she was making her 'classic' records. In the first clip, performing "Save the Country," she was 21, and in the "Poverty Train" clip from Monterey Pop Festival she was 19.

Eli and the Thirteenth Confession, New York Tendaberry, and Christmas and the Beads of Sweat are pretty much essential singer-songwriter albums.
