When did Laura Nyro first meet her flame Maria Desiderio?
It has been rumored, that Laura first met Maria Desiderio on a Fan line at one of Laura's Concert. Laura would often make contact with her fans and more often than not, friendships would start. In any case, Maria Desiderio was about 6 years younger than Laura when they met and Maria was already involved with Zoe Nicholson who owned a bookstore in California called the 'Majic Speller'. From there, the relationship progressed on and off throughout the years, until the early 1980s when Laura and Maria became a 'couple'. On a stranger note, Laura may have met Maria Desiderio much sooner than that, when Maria was 13 years old and Laura was 19 years. There has been much speculation, especially after Laura's Album 'ELI AND THE THIRTEENTH CONFESSION' and the mysterious, accompanying Photo on the back of this Album, showing Laura and a young Girl in silouhette, with Laura kissing the Girl on her forehead, that they may have been 'involved'. We may never know. T. B.
Who wrote the song Eli's coming?
To my knowledge, Laura Nyro (who wrote it) never said it was about a real person. Songwriters often just choose a name that sounds good in the lyrics, and this seems to be one of those cases. The song itself is about a cheating, dishonorable yet very charming guy who keeps getting the ladies to fall for him and then breaks their hearts. The singer is warning other ladies to beware and not get involved with him because he will just disappoint and then leave them... which seems to be exactly what he did to her.

Which Three Dog Night songs had Danny or Cory singing lead?
Of course, listing every single song 3DN did would be a large task, so I can list the "hits", i.e., the ones they released that most all of their fans know well. It's important to note that some songs had all 3 of the vocalists sharing lead vocal duties, or singing in 2-part or 3-part harmony virtually throughout. Cory Wells sang the lead vocal on "Mama Told Me (Not To Come)" (written by Randy Newman); "Eli's Coming" (written by Laura Nyro, who also wrote "Stoned Soul Picnic" for The 5th Dimension), "Shambala", "Play Something Sweet (a/k/a/ Brickyard Blues)" (written by New Orleans' songwriter Allen Toussaint), "Sure As I'm Sittin' Here" (written by John Hiatt), "Let Me Serenade You", "Never Been To Spain" (another Hoyt Axton song), "Try A Little Tenderness" (a song from 1933, mainly popularized in 1966 by Otis Redding), and "Nobody", their first "hit". Chuck Negron sang the lead vocal on "Pieces of April" (written by Dave Loggins), "One" (written by Harry Nilsson), "Easy To Be Hard" (from the Broadway hit "Hair), "Joy To The World" (a/k/a Jeremiah Was A Bullfrog - written by Hoyt Axton), "`Til The World Ends" (also written by Dave Loggins & their last Top 40 hit in 1975), "Just An Old-Fashioned Love Song" (written by the famous & vertically-challenged tunesmith Paul Williams), "The Show Must Go On" (written by Leo Sayer). Chuck is a cousin of the character actor Taylor Negron. Danny Hutton didn't sing much lead, but he did sing the lead vocal on "Black & White", "Your Song" (the Elton John cover), & "Liar" (written by Argent's Russ Ballard). On "One Man Band", Chuck Negron sang the main/melody vocal with Danny Hutton singing harmony with him on the 2 verses, then on the break after the solo, Chuck starts out by himself before being joined in by the others. On "Out In The Country", they all sing the melody together without harmony in a "gang-singing" style, but done smoothly as their vocals blended together well enough to almost sound like 1 person singing. On "Celebrate", Danny does verse 1, Chuck does verse 2 right after him, then a chorus is sung, then Cory does verse 3. On "Family Of Man", once again, Danny does verse 1, Chuck does verse 2, and Cory does verse 3. On this one, they all sing the melody part of the 1st line on the "so hard" bridge part, then deflect into a 3-part harmony, back & forth during the bridge. They had three #1 Top 40 hits & each vocalist got to sing one each - "Black & White", "Joy To The World", and "Mama Told Me (Not To Come)"
