So beautiful! The message so clear. Vintage Laura Nyro at her best. Thank you to all, especially Billy Childs and Alicia Olatuja!

Happening! In every department. Message, Melody, Musicianship, Concept.

Heartbreakingly beautiful. "When she sings "We can build a dream with love".., all I could think of was Laura, and where we are now.

The magic of this masterpiece keeps calling me back to the hr-Bigband rendition of "Save the Country". Another huge thanks from one of your biggest fans.
