Nyro’s music fused pop, soul, jazz, and folk, and while her own records were acclaimed and influential, her songs reached more ears through the voices of others. Hit versions of her tunes were recorded by the Fifth Dimension (“Stone Soul Picnic,” “Wedding Bell Blues”), Barbara Streisand (“Stoney End”), Three Dog Night (“Eli’s Comin’”), Blood, Sweat & Tears (“And When I Die”), and others. Ironically, her own biggest hit was a cover of Carole King and Gerry Goffin’s “Up on the Roof.” For Spero Plays Nyro, Spero put together a crack band that includes her husband, saxophonist Elliot Spero, drummer Peter O’Brien, and bassist Scott Petito.
