Thoroughly enjoying this interview... Lovely to hear her voice and thoughts. A magnificent artist whose music meant so much to me...

artistic versus commercial...thats Laura.

Richard, I always love hearing this.

Teenage Primal Heartbeat, love her more than words can express. Sound is superb here, Kevin. Thank you.

Could it be more beautiful ? Audio kicks it perfectly💫💯

Sound is off the charts Kevin. Thank you so much for the SACD version in 1080HD. I had to listen twice it's so GREAT. I also subscribed. How I had not before now is one for the ages. ✌

I found Laura in college around 1969. She’s in me.. she’s fun and her music is too special for me to say.

So far ahead of her time!

angel of my heart... come back to me .............please

I tried to interview her at the BumperShoot in Seattle in the early 90s. I got on the reporters list. Chickened out.

Miss your amazing gifts Laura.

Laura’s laugh was so adorable. You really had to connect with her to bring it out. ❤

“If it didn’t come out, then it ain’t coming out.” --- For the most part this is still true, although the demos from her 1st album recently did.

“Love heals. Love is the best thing we have” -- Amen, Laura! ❤❤

it bothers me so much that THIS soul didn't even get to grow old and wiser. imagine.

Only Laura Nyro could pull of all those tempo changes and make them work brilliantly.

Words of wisdom from an artist who I just became familiar with four weeks ago. Laura Nyro brings tears of joy and sorrow to my core and for that I'm grateful. I'm emotionally moved and inspired by her gift of music more than most other artists. She is a rarity among musicians in that she provides absolute "Eudaimonia" to my being and temporary respite from the doldrums of existence.

Goddess!!!

The importance of a real interviewer. A well-chosen guest and smart questions. It's a treasure for future generations. Thank you so much, Richard Knight, Jr.

What a sense of humor on that girl! To be able to laugh at the whole thing is such a gift. And also achieving simplicity is no small feat in this complicated world so... that's a process well worth the undertaking. God bless the soul of Laura Nyro.

When my mom passed in 1973 at a very young age, I would just put my earphones on and curl up listening to her albums. She helped me get through a very painful period of my life. LOVE HER!!!

"i got furyyy i got fury in my souuuuul fury's gonna take me to the glory in my mind i can't study waaar noooooooo more" rest in peace dear laura nyro

"Running from the mind reader"? What a horrifying thought!

Saw Laura a few times in performance. San Diego, NYC. Suddenly I find the Angel In The Dark album. Thank you, angel Laura. Thanks for posting these interviews Richard!!!

A brilliant 🌟 her music is still with all

I truly love her idea of success it is personal. She inspired me very much. First time that I heard her sing I was 15.

Simply beautiful . She was unbelievable .

She sounds very similar to Patti Smith.

So many incredible singers sang Laura's songs but the way Laura sang her songs was very different. The meaning was very heavy when Laura sang. I think there was some personal content that gave her singing the debth and sincerity that it had. She was a very deep thinker and she seemed to examine her life in the songs and when she sang them the meaning was different than it was when others sang her songs. The songs themselves were so great and that is why the success of others with her material was due in part to the song itself, even apart from Laura. Interesting how Coltrane influenced her phrasing...she is so jazzy.

Laura Nyro made me cry listening to her gentile peaceful response to life. Her words and personal stories are a prayer to me Laura Nyro I did not know until a few months ago. The meaning in her lyrics are of high intellect and wisdom of experiences. What a mother.... She’s got her priorities right. She’s one of my new favorite artists. Her inspiration moves me

Thank you so much. There are those of us that feel this had nothing to do with a cat. ; )

Her voice in finest form here

Let me ask y'all if she's not a genius then who is? In my humble opinion the simplicity was already there. She had responsibilities and those can complicate things but....the simplicity I think she's speaking of here is where you're completely centered and focused in spite of the stormy world throwing lightening bolts at your dreams.

She’s still It 😎 🔥

And soon after she was gone

I’ve seen her live three times and and was lucky enough to have a few conversations with her and her autograph. She was a very sweet soul and I do miss her so much. I love her later music the most!

Who owns the licensing to this???

I love her .singing and songs!!

You two kids were playing in the garden & having such a great time with great vibes! There's nothing better than a energy flow like that. No judgements. Just exchanging ideas on how & what & when & where. You're so sweet with Laura and she's so adorable and appreciated the opportunity to reconnect with you!

i love her! to infinity!

Revisiting, Richard, you were fantastic...in bringing out her fantastic. Talk about a rapport.

Christmas and the Beads of Sweat is my fav Every song a gem Upstairs by a Chinese Lamp and Map to the Treasure are two of the most sensual and/or downright erotic songs i've ever heard Poverty Train was the first song of hers i heard way back when Blew me away Never looked back

Love her!

Such a beautiful mind, loved her voice and words. Rest in paradise Laura.

Saw Laura in LA back in the late 60’s @ I think the Troubadour- been a huge fan since, I regret never meeting her when I toured in the early 70’s with Ruben & the Jets

Listen! Laura Nyro is so comfortable and lighthearted. The sound of her laughter is so warm. It's almost unbearable because . . . I miss Laura a lot. Don't you? When I first saw her sing in the early seventies I remember she sat at the piano and went right into a song, and I thought "Oh, my god. She really does sound like that."

I am 50 years old, born in 1967. I have loved music from the 60's every since I was 7 years old, and to this day, it's pretty much all I listen to. Having said that, I am really embarrassed that I just discovered Laura! Of course I know all of the songs she wrote for the 5th Dimension, Blood Sweat and Tears...etc. But I had no idea that Laura was such an amazing singer in her own right. She was such an incredible talent, and I had no idea about her existence! So, as of today, September 19th, 2017...I have discovered the beautiful Laura Nyro. Rest In Peace sweet lady...and thank you for the incredible legacy you left behind!

She was always so real in her interviews. She would be such an interesting person to converse with.

You can also do Nested in your spare time, which is worthy of a grammmy, then just also do, "Season of Lights." which is one of the most underrated pieces of music ever. Maybe, a tad blow by me, but, still, I absolutely love this song as one of my favorites ever in life.

NEW YORK TENDERBERRY best record ever made
