Laura Nyro's song "And When I Die" has been giving me a lot of comfort as we continue to lose so many musical greats. The chorus of Nyro's song goes: "And when I die / And when I'm gone / There'll be one child born / And a world to carry on". As I think about Tina Turner's amazing legacy, I wonder who was born on the day that Tina passed away. Somewhere in the world, is there now a child who will become one of the greatest live performers of all time? Was there a child born on May 24th who will speak out against intimate partner abuse, become a role model for women over the age of 40, and be a great ally to the LGBTQ2S+ community? The world could really use more people like that. The most commercially successful cover version of "And When I Die" was recorded and released in 1969 by Blood, Sweat & Tears. The band's rendition of Nyro's song was a huge international hit. Fronted by Canadian David Clayton-Thomas, Blood, Sweat & Tears had a strong connection to Laura. "Laura used to come to our rehearsals and hang out. Sometimes she'd bring a pizza to the rehearsal place - we were just all pals, and we knew Laura's songs. Even before she got her recording career launched, she was one of the inner circle of people we hung out with" recalls Clayton-Thomas. So imagine my joy after the "Lately It's Cold" recording sessions when I discovered that Clayton-Thomas also chose to record at Toronto's Number 9 studios. My producer Karen Kane and I were invited to sign the big wall piano at the studio, and half a year later, David Clayton-Thomas' autograph was inscribed close to mine. When I went back to Number 9 to celebrate the Global Music Award I won for "Lately", I had my photo taken in front of that priceless wall piano. I wonder who will add their indelible signature in the future? It may well be someone born on May 24th, 2023.
