by Jason Ankeny
Laura Nyro was one of pop musics true originals: A brilliant and innovative composer, her songs found greater commercial success in the hands of other performers, but her own records — intricate, haunting works highlighting her singularly powerful vocal phrasing, evocative lyrics, and alchemical fusion of gospel, soul, folk, and jazz structures — remain her definitive artistic legacy.
The daughter of a jazz trumpeter, she was born Laura Nigro on October 18, 1947, and composed her first songs at the age of eight. After attending Manhattans famed High School of Music and Art, she began performing in area clubs, drawing on influences as perse as Bob Dylan and John Coltrane. In 1966, Nyro issued her first LP, More Than a New Discovery; though commercially unsuccessful, the album was a treasure trove of material for other artists — the Fifth Dimension scored with Wedding Bell Blues and Blowin Away, Barbra Streisand covered Stoney End, and Blood, Sweat & Tears tackled And When I Die.
In 1967, Nyro made just her second major live appearance to date at the Monterey Pop Festival; her idiosyncratic performance baffled the crowd, and she was booed off the stage. Then-music agent David Geffen caught her set, however, and was so impressed that he quit his current position to become her manager. He also won Nyro a contract with Columbia, and in 1968 she returned with the extraordinary Eli and the Thirteenth Confession. While the album earned vast critical acclaim, she again found commercial success not with her own recordings, but with covers of Elis songs, as the Fifth Dimension reached the charts with renditions of Stoned Soul Picnic and Sweet Blindness, while Elis Comin became a major hit for Three Dog Night.
New York Tendaberry, released in 1969, fared better thanks to the strong word of mouth now trailing her work; the records Time and Love and Save the Country soon emerged as two of her most well-regarded and popular songs. With 1970s Christmas and the Beads of Sweat, she continued her exploration of soul music, enlisting Muscle Shoals staples like Barry Beckett, Roger Hawkins, and Eddie Hinton; Beads of Sweat also featured guitar work from Duane Allman. Gonna Take a Miracle, recorded with Labelle and the production team of Gamble & Huff, marked a dramatic left turn in 1971; Nyros lone album of non-original material, it featured her tributes to Motown (Jimmy Mack, Nowhere to Run), doo wop (The Bells, Spanish Harlem), and the girl group era (I Met Him on a Sunday).
At the age of 24, Nyro announced her retirement; she married, severed her industry connections, and moved to a small community in New England. However, the marriage ended in porce, and in 1975 she resurfaced with Smile; a subsequent tour yielded the 1977 live set Season of Lights. However, the long layoff derailed whatever chart momentum her music had accrued, and after the dismal sales of 1978s Nested, she again retreated from the music business.
When Nyro finally returned from her self-imposed exile in 1984 with Mothers Spiritual, her music had grown more reserved and introspective; as the title indicated, her own motherhood provided considerable inspiration for her new work, as did her rustic New England lifestyle. While she did not make any overt declarations of retirement, Nyro waited another five years before issuing her next LP, Live at the Bottom Line, recorded at the legendary New York club; Walk the Dog and Light the Light, her first collection of new material in nearly a decade, followed in 1993. Four years later, Nyro died of ovarian cancer, on April 8, 1997. A posthumous collection of unreleased early work, Angel in the Dark, was issued in 2001, and several additional live recordings also surfaced.
