With the 1971 release Gonna Take a Miracle, pop
composer and vocalist Laura Nyro completed her
four-album/four-year deal for Columbia. Nyro's passion
for R&B can be traced back to some of her earliest
compositions, such as "Wedding Bell Blues" and "Stoned
Soul Picnic" ù both of which were covered by the R&B
vocal quintet the Fifth Dimension. More recently, her
version of "Up on the Roof" was one of the highlights
of Christmas and the Beads of Sweat. So, enthusiasts
who had paid any attention at all to the course of
Nyro's career would not have been surprised by her
direction on this project. As much as Gonna Take a
Miracle is indeed a Laura Nyro album, it could
likewise, and perhaps more accurately, be described as
a collaborative effort between Nyro and the female
soul trio LaBelle ù featuring Patti LaBelle, Nona
Hendryx, and Sarah Dash ù as well as producers Kenny
Gamble and Leon Huff. It is ultimately this team that
is responsible for the album's overwhelmingly solid
results. Leading off in an apropos style is a
succulent cover of the Shirelles hit "I Met Him on a
Sunday." The vocal performance is structured as a
round ù with each woman singing a consecutive line.
The song is rightfully returned to the street corner
doo wop tradition from which it originated with the
simplicity of unadorned vocals creating an
inconspicuous a cappella symphony. Nyro has never
sounded so comfortable, easy, or "in her element" than
she does backed by an all-star Philly soul ensemble
that Gamble and Huff assembled for these sessions. The
material reaches beyond just the sounds of
Philadelphia, with Motown ("You've Really Got a Hold
on Me" and "Nowhere to Run") and Brill Building
("Spanish Harlem"), as well as lesser-known covers of
the Charts' "Desiree" and the Baltimore-based
Royalettes "It's Gonna Take a Miracle." In 2002,
Sony/Legacy issued an "expanded and remastered
edition" of this album, including four "bonus tracks":
"Ain't Nothin' Like the Real Thing," "(You Make Me
Feel Like) A Natural Woman," "O-o-h Child," and "Up on
the Roof" ù all of which are previously unissued live
solo performances. ù Lindsay Planer

▓ [ about us ] ▓
▒ iRO is an internal release group, which means we ▒
░ release outside of the regular mp3 scene. We do this ░
purely for the public, so you can hear that hard-to-
░ find album, that release you could never find the ░
scene rip of, and the actual retails of albums at
proper quality standards so you can decide whether
you really want to buy them or not; all without
asking for anything in return.
Also, unlike our predecessors, iRO gives back first
to the people who do all the work, the rippers. With
this thought at heart, all members have an equal say
in all group decisions and are welcome in all group
channels. Equality, quality and democracy, values
all good groups should share.
With the introduction of the year 2004, comes change.
As of 01/01/2004, iRO will now be encoding in the APS
standard (VBR). Our past two years of work, all done
in the CBR standard, will remain in tact.
We are currently looking for fast ftps to serve as
pubs and member sites, as well as xdcc shell
providers. If you can help out by providing one of
these to this noble cause please come visit us in
#iRO on EFNET and leave a message with a member.
