}} ''More Than a New Discovery'' is the debut album by Bronx-born singer, songwriter, and pianist Laura Nyro. It was recorded during 1966 and released at the beginning of the following year on the Folkways imprint of the Verve label (this imprint was changed to Verve Forecast Records after Verve was threatened with legal action by Moses Asch who owned the Folkways label). The album was reissued in 1969 as ''Laura Nyro'', with a revised track order and slightly altered cover/back cover design—and again in 1973 as ''The First Songs'', with an all new cover design (featuring a rose illustration), and the song "Hands Off the Man" retitled to "Flim Flam Man". It gave Nyro a chart entry at #97 on the ''Billboard'' 200, then known as the Pop Albums chart. In 2008, Rev-Ola released a remastered version of the original album in the original running order. The album included several songs that would become hits for other artists. Blood, Sweat & Tears scored with "And When I Die" (US #2), The 5th Dimension with "Wedding Bell Blues" (US #1) and "Blowin' Away" (US #21), and Barbra Streisand with "Stoney End" (US #6). In 1999, the album was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame. ==Background== Nyro signed to Verve Folkways (later Verve Forecast Records) after supplying Peter Paul and Mary with her song "And When I Die". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「More Than a New Discovery」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
