What blows my mind about her music is her sense of rhythm -- unbelievably strange-yet-natural sounding time signatures. >>> I believe the 5th Dimension covered some of her material (Stoned Soul Picnic, Wedding Bell Blues, etc. - GREAT GREAT songs). These where my first exposure to Laura Nyro. Did Laura write that 5th D song that has the telephone ringing in the song? I think the title is "The Girl Song" - another great song. Always loved the odd yet catchy piano/drum rhythm in that one, reminds me of Bacharach. Migh not be a Laura composition, though...
