1. It would have been nice if this post had elaborated a bit.

2. It's way past time!

R&R hall of fame, Nyro wrote some big songs in the '60s. Some of us like her rendition better than the big hit
(eg Stoned Cold Picnic or Save the Children)

3. yep-probably the most underrrated artist of the 60''s and early seventies

4. Stoned Soul Picnic

But yeah, even though I was just a sprog at the time, I recognized a great song writer. And it is way past time! :applause:

8. When I was in high school, I thought she was my soul mate.

I was fortunate to have seen her 3 times. There are some good videos of her online.

The most passionate, vulnerable soul who ever lived.

I miss her.
