Laura Nyro

Today is the anniversary of the death in 1997 of singer/songwriter/pianist Laura Nyro. She has a Facebook page. Her official homepage marks the date:

The saddest part is that there are no new memories to be made. The gladdest part is that Laura's music is alive, vital, and accessible. Both her genius and her persona can still fill the room through her sound, and that's a wonderful, ongoing gift.
