Laura Nyro (1947–1997) was a U.S. singer-songwriter.
She was born Laura Nigro on 18th October 1947 in the Bronx, New York, of Italian-American and Jewish-American parents, Nyro was best known by the general public – and had the most commercial success – as a songwriter rather than a performer. Her best-known songs include “And When I Die” (made a hit by Blood, Sweat & Tears), “Stoney End” (covered by Barbra Streisand), “Wedding Bell Blues”, “Stoned Soul Picnic”, “Sweet Blindness”, “Save the Country” (all covered by The 5th Dimension), and “Eli’s Coming” (a hit for Three Dog Night). Ironically, Nyro’s own best-selling single was “Up On The Roof”, a cover of the Carole King-Gerry Goffin hit originally recorded by The Drifters in 1962.
She died on 8th April 1997.

NEW YORK TENDABERRY! I first heard this about 20 years ago. My roommate had bought the album. He said he didn't like it and there it sat in front of the record player. After some weeks had passed I decided to give it a listen. Thank God he wasn't at the apartment when I did because I was crying through most of it. I love Laura Nyro ............
