As Laura Nyro was an early  inspiration and influence for Kate Bush, and Kate was listed in Laura's 
NY Times obituary  (Laura passed away  from ovarian cancer at the age of 49, April 9th), I  would
 like to leave all of you Laura's own personal web site address.

http://www.LauraNyro.com

More will be posted  in the future.

Many  many women singers, songwriters, musicans were inspired and influenced by Laura Nyro, 
they include, but are not limited to - Ricky Lee Jones, Jane Siberry, Joni Mitchell, Ronee Blakley,
Tori Amos, Cris Williamson, Margie Adam,  Kate Bush, and on and on and on it goes.

She was a goddess and will continue to influence and inspire women artists far far longer than her 
all  too short 49 years have done  thus far.

May  she be with sweet  angels,

Birdie
