Laura Nyro - Hear My Song: The Collection 1966-1995 (2024)

American singer, pianist, and singer-songwriter Laura Nyro stands as one of the most innovative and vital figures in second-half 20th-century music culture. Emerging during the late 1960s and early 1970s singer-songwriter boom, she forged a singular artistic voice by fusing acoustic folk, soul, R&B, jazz, gospel, doowop, and theatrical Broadway elements. Her expressive piano technique, wide-ranging vocals, and fluid composition style devoid of fixed genre constraints earned her deep reverence from sonic boundary-pushers like Miles Davis and Alice Coltrane. While many of her poetic compositions became massive hits for acts like The 5th Dimension, Three Dog Night, and Barbra Streisand, her original discography profoundly shaped generations of creators—ranging from Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, Carole King, and Elton John to contemporary artists such as Alicia Keys and Tori Amos. Her catalog spans ten studio albums, from her 1967 debut More Than A New Discovery to the posthumous Angel In The Dark (2001), alongside an extensive archive of live performances and early home demos.
