Phoebe Snow – July 12, 1950 – April 26, 2011
I am sad today. She had a beautiful voice and a beautiful soul. She will be missed.
In December 1975, she gave birth to a severely brain-injured daughter, Valerie. Snow resolved not to institutionalize her but instead care for her at home, which she did until Valerie died on March 18, 2007 at the age of 31.
1975 was also the year that she had her big hit Poetry Man. She had finally made it, but gave it all up to care for her daughter that needed her more.

Always wondered. Have you seen the SNL episode she’s on that year? She was goin’ places.
Hello! This is a non-controversial blog. Where are the music lovers?
SHE HAD A UNIQUENESS ABOUT HER. MAY SHE REST IN PEACE.
A remarkable woman…she journeys on… :love:
A phenomenal Voice with a great big heart to go along with it……
Wow, she sounds beautiful. I hadn’t heard of her I don’t think (gonna watch the Ronstadt video in a min).
What a great example of a good mama though to give up so much. Looks like she died way too young.
