Laura Nyro

Criminally underrated (perhaps because her songs were hits for ultra-commercial acts like the 5th Dimension), Nyro was one of the true innovators of '60s pop, a singer-songwriter who merged jazz, gospel, R&B and girl-group pop and created an ouevre that was both highly sophisticated and instantly accessible.
