Never knew anything about Phoebe's struggles. This, from Roger Friedman at Fox News in March, 2007:

"Valerie Rose Laub died on Sunday. She was an astonishing 31 years old. You don’t know who Valerie was, but I’ll tell you: she was Phoebe Snow’s daughter. Valerie was born with such a confluence of injuries in 1975 that no one knew what was wrong. Truthfully, I don’t think to this day anyone ever did figure it out. No matter how Phoebe Snow operated in the music business, it was never her priority. That was always Valerie. It’s hard to imagine someone giving up a career like that today, and sacrificing themselves for their child. That’s what Phoebe Snow did for her daughter. I don’t know what she will do now that Valerie is gone. Three decades of love and service are over. But I hope somewhere along the line, no matter what’s happened to her in the business (where her terrible reputation is never far away), Phoebe Snow gets to sing again. She’ll do it for Valerie, and for a whole generation that got cheated out of knowing Phoebe Snow as a star the way her daughter did."

Interesting.

Wow, that was wretched. Takes a lot to get a 1 from me, but that sure did it.

The Isley's "It's Your Thing" followed by this.

Further proof that music was better in the 70s.

The highlight here was the the very short Lead Guitar Bridge and the consistant base line. Brass is always a negative for me.

  Goodbye Phoebe, your creativity was amazing. I hope you and Valerie are together again. You are missed.

Go Phoebe!

 
Saw that one, too, and this brings back fond memories. She has some pipes, as they say. The album is great and the"driftin blues" cut from Charles Brown is sublime.

Hope Phoebe Snow is doing better soon. Just read that she had a brain hemorrhage on Jan. 19, 2010.

There are several Phoebe cuts here on RP, but most of them have never been played.  That's a shame, and one that needs to be rectified.

This is a fabulous cut, but IMHO it doesn't even begin to do justice to her extraordinary voice.

Funky! Funky! Funky!  Phoebe Snow could definitely funk it up considering how mellow her song "Poetry Man" was.
