She was a revelation. Great writing, John. Must find this album! Someone took a photo of Laura & me at Newport. She was “watching her insides” at that moment. Concentrating and withdrawn. When the film was developed, she was not in the shot that we all saw Willie take. She had been there. The camera couldn’t capture her. Neither could I. I’m glad. — Lisi

Thank you for a beautiful reminder of Laura Nyro's unique gifts. Her voice and her lyrics were a meaningful part of my twenties.
