In the summer of 1966, an 18-year-old Laura Nyro auditioned for Milt Okun, one of the most respected music producers of the day, and Artie Mogull, a noted A&amp;R man. After the session, these eventual music business legends were so blown away that Mogull became her manager, and Okun signed on to produce her debut record More Than Just A Discovery. The first song she performed, “And When I Die”, achieved success with the cover by Blood, Sweat, &amp; Tears, reaching #2 on the Billboard Charts in 1969.

Nyro certainly wrote other future smashes delivered to the charts by artists like Three Dog Night (“Eli’s Coming”), The 5th Dimension (“Stoned Soul Picnic,” “Save The Country,” and “Wedding Bell Blues”), Barbra Streisand (“Stoney End”), and more, but it was Nyro’s heart, soul, songwriting brilliance and magnificent vocal talent that drove music fans to discover her own work.
