Phoebe Snow was an American singer, songwriter, and guitarist, celebrated for her rich, melodic voice and her fusion of pop, jazz, blues, and folk music. Born Phoebe Ann Laub on July 17, 1950, in New York City, she rose to prominence in the early 1970s with her self-titled debut album, which featured the hit single "Poetry Man." This track not only captivated audiences with its smooth, soulful sound but also earned her a reputation as a gifted singer-songwriter and led to a Grammy nomination for Best New Artist.

Throughout her career, Phoebe Snow continued to earn critical acclaim with her distinct vocal style and emotive performances. Her discography showcases a dedication to musical exploration, reflected in albums like "Second Childhood" and "It Looks Like Snow," which further developed her mixture of jazz-infused pop and laid-back grooves. Despite taking breaks from the music industry to care for her disabled daughter, Snow's artistic output in the 1980s and beyond—evidenced in works like "Never Letting Go" and "Something Real"—confirmed her enduring talent and the depth of her musical contributions. Her live performances, captured in releases such as "Phoebe Snow Live," highlighted her ability to connect with audiences and to reinterpret her studio work with spontaneity and passion. Phoebe Snow's legacy is one of a resilient, expressive artist who left a lasting imprint on the tapestry of American music. She sadly passed away on April 26, 2011, but her music continues to inspire and resonate with fans old and new.
