YMMV / Laura Nyro

• Covered Up: Lots of her songs were covered by (and became commercial hits for) other artists, including:
  • The 5th Dimension ("Stoned Soul Picnic", "Sweet Blindness", "Wedding Bell Blues", "Blowin' Away", "Save the Country")
  • Barbra Streisand ("Stoney End", "Time and Love", "Flim Flam Man")
  • Blood Sweat & Tears ("And When I Die", "He's a Runner")
  • Three Dog Night ("Eli's Comin'")
• Sampled Up: "Once It Was Alright Now (Farmer Joe)" was sampled for "Alright" by J Dilla and "Save The Country" was sampled for Kanye West's "The Glory". Also, "Sexy Mama" was sampled by Pizzicato Five.
• They Changed It, Now It Sucks!: Some people didn't like the Lighter and Softer and Green Aesop tones of Mother's Spiritual.
