The late singer-songwriter Laura Nyro had a lot of commercial success with her music. Unfortunately, it was by other artists recording her songs that she's best remembered for. A lovely soulful voice ,she inspired a lot of artists and is well worth listening to Hopefully one day soon, she will be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as she truly belongs there. Here's a sample of her work that other artists covered for hits.
The Fifth Dimension recorded a few of her songs and had hits with them . Here is one of the tunes, " Wedding Bell Blues "
They also had a major hit with " Stoned Soul Picnic "
This next tune was a hit for both Blood Sweat and Tears and Peter , Paul and Mary. Here is " And When I Die "
One of Barbra Streisand's first hits was Nyro's " Stony End "
This was my favorite Three Dog Night tune, " Eli's Coming ". Laura's version is both haunting and rocking.
Finally , The Fifth Dimension hit gold again with another Nyro song " Sweet Blindness "
