In 1969, Nyro had 3 of the top 10 hits on the Billboard charts, a major accomplishment.

Never seeking to imitate the Nyro style, Grace has been able to mesmerize audiences with a sensitivity and sincerity all her own - paying tribute, but never seeking to reproduce that unique voice. Instead, she has always sought to give the shifting tempos and poetic lyrics of Laura Nyro her own personal touch. 10% of the proceeds from the sale of the CD will go to GILDA'S CLUB NEW YORK CITY. There is a $20 cover plus a 2-drink minimum.
