SINGER PHOEBE SNOW DIES, 60, & USA NEWS – 13.2.12

Phoebe Snow (born Phoebe Ann Laub; July 17, 1950 – April 26, 2011) was an American singer, songwriter, and guitarist, best known for her chart-topping 1975 hit "Poetry Man".

She was described by The New York Times as a "contralto grounded in a bluesy growl and capable of sweeping over four octaves."

American singer Phoebe Snow dies. Her iconic song Poetry Man was what I most remember about this artist’s twangy guitaring and distinctive voice. My favorite song of Snow’s is the one featured above. What a loss this week to the USA’s entertainment sector of female music artist legends.
