I really love her relaxing voice even with talking it’s so smooth and relaxed and calming to hear And she sounds introverted in a lovely way which is like me sometimes and a very sweet talking woman.
My aunt Jean introduced me to Laura's album Eli and the thirteenth confession back around 1970 when I was five years old. She used to sing the songs from the album to me and my sister. I have loved Laura Nyro since that time. I have great memories of my childhood and her music. I'm sorry she's gone. She was brilliant and her voice was pure and magnificent!
Her world was so passionate and elegant. He music was beautifully done by so many pop stars, but when played her music, it touched the vibrant chords in my heart. Miss her.
She is pretty well baked, which is perfectly cool. Allows her to be creative in conversation just like she is in her songs. Hard for me to imagine what kind of person she really is, based on interviews like this. One thing I'm pretty sure of, though, is she's both highly complex as well as strong. I went to college in the 60s and I knew my share of sensitive intellectual Jewish girls from NYC.
She is one of the very few talented singers/entertainers who didn’t NEED to be famous. She loved writing songs and singing. Fame was not some thing that she courted.
Love Laura--always have always will---she was just too sensitive an artist for this cruel world. But thanks for all the great music---especially New York Tenderberry----as a NYC person it speaks to me still.
I agree with Laura Nyro pain can either do two things, it can either shatter you or make you a better person if you grow from it and turn it into something beautiful.
WOW what an amazingly thought provoking and intimate interview , this wonderful musician touched so many and influenced the best and still does ,her album Christmas and the beads of sweat is a masterpiece ,and like Joni s Blue still resonates today 50 years later , that's genius !
@123kingkongphoto The video is said to have been wiped. Television used to do that in those days to cut costs. After the program was aired, they would record over the tape. We are lucky to have the audio as a Nyro fan held a tape recorder up to the tv the time of the broadcast and was kind enough to share it with fellow fans years later. Laura performed several songs from 'New York Tendaberry' on the program also.
Sorry Cathy, but I know her Boyfriend when she was alive Jim Fielder of Blood Sweat and Tears and she did NOT do heroin don't spread nasty rumors of someone deceased and brilliant...
She speaks softly like jackie Kennedy, her pain, was not being bigger singing her own songs and only David Geffen believed in her, no one could classify her music.
WOW....Thanks for that ! I was reading about it...In Michelle korts book just today... I would love to see the video...do you know where I can get it ?
I've had a recording of this show for a few years now but besides the Doors show I've not heard or seen any other info about this show, does anyone know of any other episodes or if any others survive?
We used to have a more gentrified society where we did have people that were native of New York City, and Los Angeles, making music and making music..Now we don’t have this kind of world. To become more innovative we do need to look for a new different kinds of music in New York City, and Los Angeles and San Francisco area and Boston’s a major hub ups and look for more sophisticated music. This is a really good artist to Laurel was a great artist in her own right in a certain area but now we’re in a different era. We need to go up further, and we need to look for different kinds of music, something more creative and other directions, even though she was creative and her time. We are all really not doing well culturally by ignoring people from major cities, including London, and other major cities these are people that are transplant, so they have no they’re not really people from any major hubs. That’s why the music doesn’t sound gentrified anymore.
She went to Music and Art HS - once the coolest high school in America - until it merged with PA and became LaGuardia - which is run by the dorkiest people in America. Everybody was stoned in those days.
I'd like to have a love that reminds me of Oxygen, generosity, accessibility, a girl in the beauty level like Laura Nyro. I get over the pixie girl. Nov10. 401pm 💐
2:05 that's the line TV Girl used in Louise.
YES I WAS TRYNA FIND IT TYSM
OMG TY
Does she says there's a zombie that's coming for or a song there that's coming 😭
I wanna like it because you helped me know what time it was in this video but, you have 69 likes so no
YIPPIIEEEE
I really love her relaxing voice even with talking it’s so smooth and relaxed and calming to hear
And she sounds introverted in a lovely way which is like me sometimes and a very sweet talking woman.

that's a very heavy LP for a 5-year-old. We are the same age. I was listening to the Archie's are that age. lol
Laura Nyro was so so talented.! what a great songwriter and performer... R.I.P. dear Laura.
Her world was so passionate and elegant. He music was beautifully done by so many pop stars, but when played her music, it touched the vibrant chords in my heart. Miss her.

Fame was not some thing that she courted.
Soft in speech, but powerful in song! I love Laura's voice either way, wish I could have talked with her.
Love Laura--always have always will---she was just too sensitive an artist for this cruel world. But thanks for all the great music---especially New York Tenderberry----as a NYC person it speaks to me still.
no one like her. it will take years for anyone to catch up. so young.
That voice of hers...oh man I love it!
Thank you, love her music so much, her songs, her voice.

awesome interview and hearing Laura talk.. she is so humble and sensual.. she just makes me wanna fall in love again
I love laura nyro . She was the best of the best.
What a sweet soul she was....she must have been very easy to fall in love with!
She was my oxygen when I was a teenager coming into the scene where women were highly objectified and sexualized. I just loved her music!
so much so...
the last part of Louise starts around 5:55-6:00 and ends around 6:33 i think :)

On songwriting: "It's like... a labor." God I love that, Ms. Nyro
Sorry Cathy, but I know her Boyfriend when she was alive Jim Fielder of Blood Sweat and Tears and she did NOT do heroin don't spread nasty rumors of someone deceased and brilliant...
I can't stand that.
Also Jackson Browne and probably others.
No indication she did any drugs. I think she drank a little. But that's irrelevant , incredible talent. Massive talent.
Gorgeous speaking voice as well. She is UNBELIEVABLY TALENTED, UNIQUE and SPECIAL. She'll always be in my heart and soul forever.
i love this women - what a great song writter and beautiful voice - brown eye soul! American - we need to appreciate our talent in this country - WOW!
2:04 Louise - Tv Girl :D
Luara has the sound and the words of her generation's time. how well I remember this verbal style.
This interview is such a great find. Thank you for uploading it!
and there's a song there that's coming from inside me, it comes from pain
I want to hear the original version of Eli’s Comin’. Nothing else can compare
Three Dog Night did justice to it on the Live 1975 Soundstage version on RUclips!
So great to hear this! The man with Laura in the photos is music mogul David Geffen.
She was so amazing. Ahead of her time and timeless. She should be here with us.
i was so saddened by her death- i was fortunate to see her in concert a few times - and the last time at a venue in San Juan Cap.... i was thrilled!
Are you rich?
i love her! she is so missed!
Great artist
A new tune, "Get Me My Cap" and the sound of my Muse's voice on the same day...
I am in heaven...
I love her soft Bronx accent. Her voice is very soft, feminine and sexy. Too bad she was so publicity shy. Wish there were more interviews of her.
I heard this a long time ago on her website. Gotta love that Bronx accent.
She speaks softly like jackie Kennedy, her pain, was not being bigger singing her own songs and only David Geffen believed in her, no one could classify her music.
Thank you.
I think that's David Geffen, who was Laura's late-Sixties manager, in the photo with her.
She sounds quite mellow
2:05 just leaving this for myself
and when I die and when I'm gone
there'll be one child born
and a world to carry on
carry on
nice. thanks for this. :)
tv girl sampled this interview in a song called Louise, u guys should give it a listen :>
2:05 SLAY
Let's.....talk...very softly.
Pain is our illusion colliding with truth.
the pic is with David Geffin, her manager and agent back then
Here I am because of you, Alex!
I really like it around 7:02 where she says “I think that I see things differently than most people”
Again that’s like me.
Groovy man. She sounded very cool.
anyone else think they both smoked a MASSIVE doobie before this started?
Yes sounded pretty mellow...Lol
great looking sounding thinking gal musician.
No-one like her.
WOW....Thanks for that !
I was reading about it...In Michelle korts book just today...
I would love to see the video...do you know where I can get it ?
The NYC accent is so obvious like mine
@millvalleyrn I agree, she does sound a bit like Louise Lasser. The interviewer sounds a bit like Donald Sutherland without the Canadian twang.
I've had a recording of this show for a few years now but besides the Doors show I've not heard or seen any other info about this show, does anyone know of any other episodes or if any others survive?
Where she says about being in her room totally tuned out or totally tuned in
That’s like me too.
Unplanned ASMR😀
Its absolutely true, if youve noticed anything
Goes for the both of them - Mr. Kloman included! Did this interview take place horizontally, with the participants buck as nekked!!
Great find even though the uptight interviewer is repeatedly interrupting her answers.

Holy crap, they are soooooooo high!
Boy do they sound high!
don't feed the troll.
jimmy page, Laura was also Russian and Italian. Her father was an Italian American. You shouldn't say such ignorant things like that.
Michelle Korts book is well researched ,seems very, very complete.
Yet she never met Laura.
Was this the same PBS show that The Doors sang Soft Parade on?
who is that introducing the interview ?
No they don't. That's how adults talk to each other.
She did speak softly anyway, so she didn't need to be high. Lol. Watch the video where she talks about herself. Heroin, nope.
She went to Music and Art HS - once the coolest high school in America - until it merged with PA and became LaGuardia - which is run by the dorkiest people in America. Everybody was stoned in those days.
tv girl
Why is she practically whispering
2:04
oh yeah?
Nor did Mr. Anthony say her death resulted from her sensitivity. You infer far too much.
I'd like to have a love that reminds me of Oxygen, generosity, accessibility, a girl in the beauty level like Laura Nyro. I get over the pixie girl. Nov10. 401pm 💐
@KennBurch thats geffen alright...
@redtony58 What a New York thing to say, that is too funny.
I ship her with Greg Hawkes! (The Cars)
Yup! lol
sounds like Don Cornelius Mannnnn .....lol
Im only british when im pretending to be Jimmy Page
You are kidding, right?
are you sure it's not really the bleeping British ?
A little TOO mellow, lol
They probably burned one before the interview...
she does a great job of hiding that bronx accent....
