"Eli's Comin'" is a song written and recorded in 1967 by American singer-songwriter and pianist Laura Nyro.[1] The song was first released in 1968 on Nyro's album, Eli and the Thirteenth Confession.[2]
While attending Joseph Wade Junior High School in the Bronx, Nyro performed an early version of the song in music class to prove to the teacher that rock and roll "wasn't junk".[citation needed]
