Laura is the quintessential female music queen! She has one of the most powerful voices in music. Charcoal & silk that sometimes rises to an operatic shrill! She was the first one to use her own voice in the background of her songs, both counterpoint & harmony! This where Todd Rundgren got his style from. Her uncommon chord changes & arrangements are the first of their kind in the Genre as noted by Steely Dan! Carole King can't sing half as good as Laura & Joni Mitchell, who took direction from Laura, can't sing as good as her either! Joni is s folk singer! Laura is Guts, Gravy,Tears,Joy,Sadness, Surprise, Silk, Charcoal & Flowers! Thank god she is finally in this Flim Flam Hall of Fame!

Laura is a a magnetic performer and songwriter. The idea that she should have only gone in as a non performer is absurd.
