Before Kate Bush, PJ Harvey and the notion that woman were able to be fiercely unconventional and artistically unrestrained, there was Laura Nyro.

Take a break from the madness and the mediocrity for genius and beauty #LauraNyro "Save the Country" (live; "In my mind I can't study war no more"). Not that she needs male validation but #DavidGeffen managed her and #JacksonBrowne went out with her (can't blame him!) www.youtube.com/watch?v=mwn9...

55 years ago today, the Times (8 February 1971) reviewed Laura Nyro's first gig in Britain: "Her performance exceeded all expectations, the simple arrangements for voice and piano obliterating all memories of the recorded versions of the songs she gave us."
