Об исполнителе (группе)
Laura Nyro (October 18, 1947 - April 8, 1997) was an American songwriter, singer, and pianist. She achieved critical acclaim with her own recordings, particularly the albums Eli and the Thirteenth Confession (1968) and New York Tendaberry (1969), and had commercial success with artists such as Barbra Streisand and The 5th Dimension recording her songs. Her style was a hybrid of Brill Building-style New York pop, jazz, gospel, rhythm and blues, show tunes, rock, and soul.
Between 1968 and 1970, a number of artists had hits with her songs: The 5th Dimension with 'Blowing Away', 'Wedding Bell Blues', 'Stoned Soul Picnic', 'Sweet Blindness', 'Save the Country', and 'Black Patch'; Blood, Sweat & Tears and Peter, Paul & Mary with 'And When I Die'; Three Dog Night and Maynard Ferguson with 'Eli's Comin'; and Barbra Streisand with 'Stoney End', 'Time and Love', and 'Hands off the Man (Flim Flam Man)'. Nyro's best-selling single was her recording of Carole King and Gerry Goffin's 'Up on the Roof'.
In 2012, Nyro was posthumously inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Об альбоме (сборнике)
Eli and the Thirteenth Confession is the second album by New York-born singer, songwriter, and pianist Laura Nyro, released in 1968.
Nyro premiered some of the songs that were to appear on the album at the 1967 Monterey Pop Festival. The song 'Luckie' was derived from an earlier composition Nyro had played at her audition for Verve Records in 1966. Before she signed to Columbia Records, Verve had already planned to release the album, under the title Soul Picnic. The album saw its actual release in 1968 on the Columbia label and became one of the year's underground successes. The album was written entirely by Nyro, arranged by Charlie Calello and produced by both. On Nyro's insistence, the album's lyric sheet (which itself was a rarity for records in 1968) was perfumed, and fans have reported that it still has a pleasant aroma.The album's themes are of passion, love, romance, death, and drugs, and the songs are delivered in Nyro's distinctive brash neo-operatic vocals. Musically, it is a multi-layered and opulent work, including multi-tracked vocals, jazz instrumentation and strings. The album's loose genre is pop, but it also incorporates elements of jazz, opera, soul, gospel, and rock.
It is generally considered to be Nyro's most accessible and most famous work, although it is arguably not the most commercially successful or critically favored (both honors go to the follow-up, New York Tendaberry). The album was her first chart entry, reaching No. 181 on the Billboard 200, when it was known as 'Pop Albums.' In February 2016 issue of UNCUT magazine it was rated in the 100 Greatest Albums of All Time.
The album is second only to its predecessor, 1967's More Than a New Discovery, in producing hit songs for other artists. Three Dog Night took 'Eli's Comin' to US No. 10, while The 5th Dimension went to US No. 3 with 'Stoned Soul Picnic' and US No. 13 with 'Sweet Blindness'.
