What a beautiful tribute. We loved her music. My mother would play her albums when I was a child.

[graciehernandez]

Wow. I just found out about Laura Nyro two hours ago. My gosh what a fan I am of hers now. God Bless her. R.I.P. Laura.

[lindahuff]

A legend. Had all her albums and still have some. She didn't care about the fame, but only the music. A woman's singer/songwriter.

Yes, straight up New York 👏🏾

We thank your Mom for her TIMELESS art!

[Tuffgrlie]

That bought a tear to my eye. I am so glad she was recognised for her beautiful art.

Just like there's a Free Britney campaign, there needs to be a similar campaign so this sweet son of Laura Nyro can finally get his mother's very wealthy estate back from the stranger who's currently holding it. What a troubled life he had, with his mother dying when he was just 15 and her partner dying the next year, leaving her estate to a friend of hers who's ignored this kid for years and makes it much more difficult than his life needs to be.

My man Gil-T! Glad that he's doing well!

I had an opportunity to see Laura Nyrro in DC back in the day.

Too bad her son had to fight to be there and there's a story about it somewhere and originally they only allowed him to have a seat weigh in the back of the nosebleed section and didn't even send him an airplane ticket and he had to fight to be there and receive his mother's award ... poor guy he shouldn't have had to go through that ... thanks to the horrible woman who got everything from his mother's estate and didn't want him to have anything and the poor guy was only a teenager when Laura died .
Later the woman who snatched up the estate said she didn't think he was interested in having anything from his mother none of her personal effects or anything ... can you imagine ?
... well that's what she said .
He shouldn't have had to go through so much

[glengoffe]

Can somebody explain if your the only child, how was he not sole heir to his mothers estate, even when he became of age

[marinazagrai]

He sounds such like such a New Yorker (Brooklyn/ Bronx sound the same to non - NYers).
Funny how some celebs manage to insert themselves everywhere...opportunists! Midler eluded me (that's just my taste) but I heard her speak and she is a hateful person. I don't care how talented she might be.

[Lmaclinmaclin]

Freaking Dope Lady he's a runner..
Panioist.. Woman blues.

[ChikaraGuy]

he looks and sounds like a pre balding artie bucco

[Marv_]

Laura who?!?!?! 😳. What about TOTO?!?! 🤬

[nick.caffrey]

No sincerity there at all. Pure economics.
