<<<As a result of this thread I just revisited the CD "Angel in the
Dark".These were Laura's last recordings and there is still beauty on
display. It is a mix of solo recordings and backing of some studio vets
which tend to be a bit slick for her. But her singing is wonderful. And
there are several stunning new songs, particularly her title tune and "Don't
hurt Child". Also a Bacharach cover,"Be Aware" that is great [a song I am
unfamiliar with]. There are some R&B covers to be expected. But also she
covers "Embraceable You", and Richard Rodger's "He was too good to Me".
There is even a Motown hidden track.>>>
I'll have to check that one out, thanks for the head up! I like Nyro's
interpretations of others as well as her own songs - I love the album she
did with Labelle way back when, some of the best Motown/soul/Brillpop covers
out there!
