One of my favourite women singers and songwriters has been nominated finally into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this year. She wrote many songs which other singers had number one hits with. Eli's Comin', And when I die, Stoned Soul Picnic,... and many others. She was so personal in her songwriting and aeons ahead as a feminist. A soulful r 'n b singer, a contemporary of Joni Mitchell. I heard that Barabra Streisand used to watch Laura perform when they were both starting out. They recently used one of her songs, altered slightly for GLEE, Wedding Bell Blues. The Confession has to be one of the sexiest songs ever written. http://rockhall.com/inductees/nominees/laura-nyro/
