Laura Nyro’s most famous compositions — “Stoned Soul Picnic,” “Stoney End,” “When I Die,” “Wedding Bell Blues,” “Eli’s Coming” — are jewels of mainstream music, and her covers of songs like “Jimmy Mack” and “Gonna Take a Miracle” are legendary.
But she was uncomfortable under the spotlight and withdrew from it to become the Belle of Danbury, Connecticut.
This hour: a night of singing, reflecting, and celebrating recorded in front of a live audience at Watkinson School in Hartford.
GUESTS:
- Jim Chapdelaine: Guitar and vocals
- Latanya Farrell: Vocals and tambourine
- Steve Metcalf: Piano and vocals
