“And When I Die” #2 11/29/1969

The third straight #2 single from Blood, Sweat & Tears was written in 1966 by a then 17-year-old Laura Nyro, who sold the tune to Peter, Paul and Mary. Amazing that someone who was a teenager at the time could write such semi-morbid lyrics. Laura had three songs this week in the Top 10 - this one, a former #1 (“Wedding Bell Blues”) earlier in the month from the 5th Dimension, and the song we’ll feature next.
