<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>This first biography of pioneering singer-songwriter Laura Nyro uncovers previously never-revealed details, including a brief romance with Jackson Browne. 16-page photo insert.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Laura Nyro was a beloved and pioneering singer-songwriter of the 1960s and 1970s, whose songs were covered with great success by the Fifth Dimension; Blood, Sweat & Tears; Three Dog Night; and Barbra Streisand. This first biography uncovers previously never revealed details, including a love affair with Jackson Browne, and her relationship with painter Maria Desiderio. <p/>Unappreciated in her time, Nyro's legacy is currently experiencing a revival. With her groundbreakingly honest and passionate lyrics, her unusual and innovative rhythms and melody, Nyro's influence is still felt by singers and songwriters today.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"It was always my road to have high drama onstage-Laura Nyro gave me a map." --<i>Rickie Lee Jones</i> <p/>"She wrote about the world I lived in but infused it with so much passion that ordinary things-the weather, the river, the streets, the kids-glowed with a spiritual energy. Though we were plain, ordinary, nasty kids, when she sang she made us beautiful." --<i>Suzanne Vega</i> <p/>"Laura Nyro you can lump me in with, because Laura exerted an influence on me. I looked to her and took some direction from her." --<i>Joni Mitchell</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>Michele Kort</b>, Los Angeles-based writer and editor, has been a journalist for over twenty years.
