Kenny Rankin and Laura Nyro

The siren of my teenage years, Laura Nyro meant everything to me. Really. Remarkably, I enjoy all her albums, The First Songs, Eli and the Thirteenth Confession, New York Tendaberry, Christmas and the Beads of Sweat and Gonna Take a Miracle as much today as I did then. After the album with Labelle, Laura and I went our separate ways...understandable. I just recently became aware of this single she'd done with Kenny Rankin, who I also liked. Such a sweet voice. To have stumbled upon this song, the two of them so young and at the top of their games, was a wonderful surprise. It broke my heart when I learned ovarian cancer had killed her.
