Like Jimmy Webb, Nyro was one of the definitive songwriting voices of the late 1960s and early '70s, but she also had a successful solo career that was both helped and hampered by a unique, if slightly over-the-top singing style. A real maverick, Nyro created jazz and pop-tinged arrangements containing certain subtleties her impressive voice lacked; meanwhile, her voice and piano came together to continually fudge the line between hope and despair. So while sensitive sorority sisters clung to their copies of Carole King's <I>Tapestry</I>, jaded romantics had Nyro's darkly human <I>New York Tendaberry</I> to help ease the passage from the wide-eyed '60s to the cynical '70s. Nyro's popularity waned in the '80s, but as cancer was claiming her life in the late '90s, her work was rightly being embraced by a new generation of Adult Alternative singer-songwriters. - Nick DedinaFolk Popen720Mon, 23 Nov 2009 05:18:07 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.2985&variant=artist-playlists&rws=%2Flaura-nyro%2Fplaylists.rss Laura Nyro penned reams of tunes for other artists, but she should be remembered for more than just "Stone Soul Picnic" (which the 5th Dimension turned into a huge hit).
