The Ukulele Lady doesn’t allow any Laura Nyro when she’s in the house, referring to her as “that whore.” A lot of Nyro’s songs are overtly sexual; “The Confession” is literally a song about her clitoris.
She’s at her most seductive in “Captain for Dark Mornings,” from the New York Tendaberry album (1969). I love the long slow fade, wherein the singer seems to be drifting slowly out into a foggy sea on a dark morning…
