  • Incredible!

  • Her voice resonates the passion we all as vocalist's "Pray" to deliver with each opportunity to perform... Phoebe, U~R missed.

  • she sang the soundtrack of our story..

  • How I loved this whole album back in the 70's. I saw her once in those early days at Aquinas College in Michigan. She opened for Jackson Brown.

  • Oh My God! I wax nostalgic. Damn I wore this album out. Thank you for this sweet memory.

  • I never been to a concert and felt like I was at a friends house until I attended a Phoebe concert.

  • Wore out this album...This song and Poetry Man did it for me when it came out. Such a unique singer and caring mother. May she rest in peace and hear "Well done" :-)

  • Comment removed

  • My 15 month old daughter use to sway to this ...and me too. Now she's 22 and we still bond when when we hear it . Love you're spirit PHOEBE.

  • Love ur voice & music got me thru many a times

  • so very true what a dignified differnce she made

  • Just heard it for the first time, now I found out that I gotta play it at a gig in a few hours time. Whew!!! This will be cool!!!

  • After listening to a couple of Phoebe's albums, addictively, when I was much younger and having come back to it 20 yrs later, I had a realisation. There was nothing I heard, in all that time, that I found to be as beautiful and so beautifully sung. I guess I feel the same about Joni Mitchell and a couple others, but you're simply comparing infinities at some point.

  • This beautiful melody and its sister song, Poetry Man, remind me of a time (4th-5th Grade) in Columbia, MD when all was possible and my Mother was full of dreams and thoughts of the future. She sang Phoebe's songs, and others, for my sisters and I, to lighten the mood of a financially tough existence. I thank her for that and will fondly remember her voice in this era of song. Rest In Peace Beautiful Ladies!

    Thank you MOM! I LOVE YOU! T

  • my favorite singer. so sad i never got to see her sing live.

  • One of my favorite all time voices.

  • i wonder how's french canadian for "i grew up without a mother" =)

  • @rydermethod J'ai grandi sans une mère.

  • @fenderbender92 thats a line from Sopranos. i dont rly give a shit how do you say that in french but thanks anyway :))

  • @rydermethod loooool. That reference went way over my head.

  • this music will be here forever whereas today's "music acts" are like a 3 ring circus, here today, gone tomorrow....Phoebe was a musician, not an act...

  • the world grew a bit older and the light a bit more dim thru the loss of one of

    God's most special people.......

  • Hal never had the makings of a varsity athlete.

  • I wonder what's French-Canadian for, "I grew up without a mother"? Sacré-bleu! Where is me mama?!

  • @trukiller456 Soprano's rules.

  • i will forever be amazed by the voice of this woman.

  • PHOEBE SNOW A GREAT SINGER AND SONG WRITER THAT WILL BE MISED

    AND SADEN TO SEE HER GO

  • Phoebe Snow! What a magnificent singer, songwriter, musician and person. Sorry to see you go, "Poetry Woman."

  • RIP my favorite female artist What a Gem May God be please

  • Always a fan! RIP Ms Phoebe...

  • Never heard a voice like hers before. Absolutely beautiful!!!

    Rest In Peace

    PHOEBE SNOW (1952~2011)

  • Oh, Phoebe, you will always be missed. Thank you for the music. You have truly touched my soul. I love you so much...LOVE LOVE LOVE YOU!

  • I wonder what's french-canadian for: I grew up without a mother?

  • beautiful pheobe !

  • 高校生の頃、就寝前によく聴いた思い出の曲です。ずいぶん時間が­経過していますね。ほんと名曲です。久々に聴いても当時の状況と­同じで、ワクワク&ジーンときます。

  • Such a lovely voice and a fine song! May you and your daughter be at peace, reunited in love and so much more.

  • Phoebe was truly unique. I loved her voice but loved more her dedication to her daughter. May she know that she no longer has to try and be a grown up and have to bear her life in pain. She is no longer lost but a willow, a lover and a mountain passing boldly through the clouds and never ending.

  • @MsNZgal Beautifully worded!

  • @MsNZgal Phoebe was one of the greatest female singers of all time!  Her Second Childhood album RULES!

    Check out Nine of Diamonds and Harpo's Blues. All the songs are totally killer! Phoebe, I pray you made it to the streets of purest gold, like you are! Your brother, Myke

  • breathtakingly phoebe

  • Not to mention the world-class musicians that came out for her, like on this song. You will be missed, Phoebe.

  • You have to believe there is a God and Heaven where Phoebe and her daughter now sing and dance with joy :) xo

  • She had a truly awesome voice, with many qualities, range, timbre. But for me, the overriding one was that of 'warmth'. It really did touch your soul. She never really became 'main stream' but I think she carved her own niche for which she will always be remembered. RIP Phoebe - you were a real gem.

  • A singer I will always love...RIP Sis. Snow

  • My Mom used to listen to Phoebe Snow all the time while I was growing up. She was a great talent and every time I hear her music I can't help but think of my Mom. A true talent who made the choice of family a great woman.

  • magnificent, very much part of my life growing life......tilly

  • magnificent voice. Very much part of my life growing up

  • A perfect angelic voice. Phoebe Snow was a treasure. She will be greatly missed. RIP Ms. Phoebe Snow.

  • One of the greatest albums ever recorded -- stellar lyrics, and ZOOT SIMS on tenor saxophone, fabulous, fabulous, 1000x over, bless you and miss you Phoebe (and Zoot)

    thanks for posting, thank you, thank you

  • love is heard always in her every note/breath

  • Sacre bleu where is my maaaaa??!!!!!

  • does anybody remember a song called "Snow by Phoebe Snow recorded in the early to mid 70's?

  • Second Childhood, her second album, is one of my favorite recordings ever. She wrote many great tunes, and she interpreted standards like There's a Boat That's Leaving Soon for New York (from Porgy and Bess) with depth and creativity.

  • rip

  • this is what u call natural born talent, no machines here making her voice sound good. She will surely be missed.

  • So sad I'll miss you Miss Snow.

  • I was lucky to see her sing a few years ago..rare to see such a writer and singer able to break your heart so easily...

  • I am harpo i play blues thanks phoebe i will tresure song forever and your music loves

  • may god bless her!! she brings back so memories of my first love, we played her album for endless hours sharing special moments, she will truly be missed in my heart and my home. she will never be forgotten will play her music forever, brings make memories of my brother we played her album for endless hours. he passed away in 1900. rip phoebe you will never be forgotten

  • Poetry set to real melodic music.

    This to me is "Art Music" ... Not too many can write something like this.

    The World isn't ready for something deeply beautiful as this ... this is why music like this isn't popular. Rest Phoebe you are one of those who were able to reach "high Artistry" in my book.

  • what a truly great song this is...!

    from an inspirational...true artist

  • Dearest Phoebe

    Thank you for being and touching my soul - you inspired me then and still do ... the angels are lucky to have you as their singing teacher .. God bless and rest in peace

  • My favorite song from a gifted artist. I never tired of hearing it, always felt touched by its beautiful melody, exquisite arrangement, and poignant sentiment. RIP

  • I just wanted to say I grew up listening to Phoebe Snow, and I am very sad to hear of her passing, but like so many great vocalist like Minnie Ripperton she left a major huge legacy of awesome, brilliant music

  • what a beautiful song. so heartfelt, thanks Ms Snow for sharing your gift.....

  • @tidkins Yes. She also sang the theme for A Different World in its early seasons.

  • Somebody correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't it her who sang the theme song to the final season of Roseanne?

  • Phoebe took time off from her singing career back in the day to take care of her special needs daughter, Rose. They are both together in Heaven "swaying to the music in the wind" Love you both.

    Phoebe: THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for your significant contribution to music.....

  • Your voice, your charm, your smile, your being will be missed. R.I.P. Ms. Snow

  • For the record, there is no album "Poetry Man." The album that charted #4 was eponymous. Thanks so much for posting this song, a favorite from my teenage years. She will be deeply missed.

  • she was as an angel among us elevating the experience of being human....well done Phoebe...all heart and soul....RIP

  • this and something real are my favorites by you beautiful woman..thank you, so much, for things you gave me you will never know...i cherish seeing you perform once with someone i loved very much...hoping you are with the angels that we heard in your voice

  • Thanks Phoebe for helping make the 70's magical..Rest in peace

  • This is my favorite Phoebe Snow tune. God bless you Phoebe.

  • RIP Phoebe!! I have great memories of growing up and listening to you.

  • @hawneyz ditto

    

  • A voice for the ages - a life lived with modesty and righteousness. Phoebe's music survives - I wish I could see her again

  • RIP Phoebe, I always loved this song.

  • As you join the realm of Charlie P. I don't want the night to end...

  • Heard this for first time tonite on WFUV replay of a Dennis Elsas interview with Phoebe. Brings tears it's so beautiful.

  • An extraordinary talent and incredible voice. Phoebe, how deeply you will be missed, singing the songs that touched our hearts with the beauty of inspiration.

  • I had to bow my head when I heard the news on the radio as I drove, trying hard to stay in my lane, as the tears blurred. I have been hoping for months that Phoebe would make it but just as she sang about Charlie Parker, the time had come. Her genius in voice, songwriting, guitar, and humanity is an inspiration. Her jazzy guitar licks i'm still trying to learn! I'll toast to your journey, Phoebe.Rest in Peace, Sister.

  • What a loss! Her magnificent voice lives on.

  • What a loss!  Her magnificent voice lives on.

  • Rest in peace Phoebe Snow - a great voice and a great human.

  • One of the best voices I've ever heard. RIP.

  • My mother played this album every day! I hated it with a passion. When I grew up, this is a CD I had to own. I guess it takes a while to recognize true talent. RIP Miss Snow♥

  • Rest in Peace Phoebe. May Peace love and blessings follow you in your travels. Love to you.............

  • Thank you for getting me through so many tough times. I was never alone. You're music carried me along. RIP dear lady. You deserve whatever heaven has to offer.

  • Beautiful , always wonderful to hear . tears

  • There'll be no show tonight. RIP

  • Thank you, Phoebe. Your shining star will live on.

  • My dear, dear Phoebe, you're back with the angels. But you live on in this fabulous voice.

  • RIP Phoebe. One of music's greatest vocal stylists. She did it all her way, never giving in to those that might tell her what to do, family always came first.

    HARPO'S GONNA MISS YOU DARLIN'...

  • Thanks for some of the greatest songs of the 70's, when I was in school. Now your voice echo resonates forever among many, Good journey and arive safely to the other side, Phoebe.

  • RIP Phoebe, you bring back memories of my teenage years and beyond, thanks so much you special lady.

  • My favorite voice to hear and I will miss her. Remember her Hilshire Farms ads? During that time she was caring for her daughter

  • God bless Phoebe.

  • God Bless her

  • I am completely saddened by the passing of this unique woman whose voice and song have been a part of me for so many years. Every playlist that I have includes one or more of her songs. She was also known for her gentle spirit, her commitment to love the “unlovable” and her generosity. Her poetry and vocal genius will be tremendously missed.

  • She epitomized real flavor and class. Truly one of a kind.

  • The Poetress has left us today.

    Rest Peacefully

    PHOEBE SNOW (1952-2011)

  • Heaven just gets better and better. Im sure there is not a bad seat in the house. We all know who is front and center..

  • My heart is broken.......I will never forget you in concert......give your daughter a big hug in heaven......

  • Phoebe is someone who though I didn't know personally, I am grieving today like I lost a family member. Her voice made her accessible to everyone, may God give her eternal peace, she definitely earned it, love you girl

  • I was very sad to here the announcement on the radio this morning that another one of my all-time favorites.....slipped away...."To you, Ms Phoebe Snow, I have missed you between your album releases and the occassional times I'd catch you on tv and now. here we go again.THANK U for the sUpErB!!!! music that helped me and my family while growing up through our teenage years....My prayer is that GOD will bless and comfort you for all you've done for Valarie and us, your eternal fans...GOD bless U.

  • @BeezoHow We have lost not only a magnificent talent but a truly wonderful human being. It there are indeed rewards for a life well lived, she has earned the absolute best.

  • @texpaco I agree!!!

  • @BeezoHow I agree!!!

  • Phoebe Snow has passed away - it was posted on ABC News website this morning...may she rest in peace.

  • Wow!!!!!!

    Tis lady should have been much bigger on the scene than she was! What a voice!

  • My mother introduced me to her music years ago! I lost my mother this past Dec., whenever I get down, just missing mama, I play Pheobe Snow and fall in love with her and mama all over again!! God bless both fabulas women!!!

  • The conviction of a poet. I LOVE YOU, PHEOBE.

  • Can you just Imagine a young Phoebe competing in American Idol She would have blow the competition away. What a voice, what a beautiful person.

  • It's a shame she never got the shine she truly deserves. Phoebe is a great poet. I love this song!

  • @DutchKalhoun The years and time she took off from her career to personally care for her brain-injured daughter gave her character more shine than anything she could ever have done professionally. 100% class in every respect!! Everyone is still hoping for a full recovery from the brain hemorrhage she sustained early last year.

  • Than-Q, Texpaco.

  • @DutchKalhoun I know, right? "I'd hate to be a grown up and have to live my life in pain.."

  • @DutchKalhoun i doubt she regretted it tho!!!! Luv her!!

  • I'm from Italy and She is one of my all-time favourite singers. Loved her so much. this song makes me remember a time when music and world were more beautiful than now. thanks for sharing!

  • ズートのあったかいSAX、剽軽なフィビー・スノウ・傑作デ­ビューアルバム! ハーポのブルース

    #jazzm

  • Zero dislikes. Now that's a MASTERPIECE!

  • I wasn't familiar with many of Phoebe's songs but now I'm thoroughly enjoying every new one that I come across. What a truly unique and gifted artist she is.

  • Such a beautiful, unique voice!

  • Phoebe darling what a joy you are and have been over the years.  We're praying for your recovery. Bless you sweetheart, we all love you so much!

  • PHOEBE SNOW/Harpo's Blues スロー&スムーズなブルースに、彼女の濃いヴォーカルが絡み付く­…。

  • she is truly a gift

  • Phoebe has established her place in the cosmos now all we have to do is hope that she will have a chance to add to that. Be well Phobe.

  • you get better phoebe....

  • THE GIRL FROM FLOWETRY SOUNDS JUST LIKE HER .

    MARSHA AMBROSIA.

  • Phoebe Snow I stand applauding u...u r fantanstic...what a voice! Timeless...wow!

    (I remember when.... :) )

  • Phoebe Snow I stand applauding u...u r fantanstic...what a voice! Timeless...wow!

  • I Wish...

  • This is peace in musical form. Over and over I could listen.

    I never noticed how much Jazz there was in her sound. Young ears, I guess. Do you like either or both of me is good too.

  • I want this played at my funeral it's so beautiful

  • Ah! Goes straight to my heart. What a sweet, sweet sound and talent. God, what a beautiful voice, rhythm and cadence.

  • beautiful song: "...I wish I was a soft refrain; when the lights were out, I'd play and be your friend." One of my favorites.

  • 昔 お客の少ない喫茶店で よくかかってた曲です。 レコードジャケット棚もこんな感じ。 もう なくなってしまったけど ・・・・ 郷愁・・・・です。

  • I type this as Harpo's Blues spins on my jukebox. Very fine record collection and fine taste, too. I recently found the PHOEBE SNOW album at a flea market and think opening track GOOD TIMES is also a great tune by this classic and esential singer.

  • Me, Jeanne & Steve Sierra memories.

  • I was born 1971 but I don't think Phoebe ever became popular (meaning radio fare) here in the Philippines. I just "discovered" her today. And I am loving her songs.

    Thank you for posting her songs!

  • @dodieymail Phoebe was popular in the Philippines and I will not be really surprise if you are not aware of it maybe because back then you were just starting to learn how to walk and how to talk. I was in high school when HARPO'S BLUES was popular and since then I am still enjoying her songs. Back then, radio was the main vehicle for a singer to make it big - there was no computer and other gadgets that are available today.

  • @ALONGPALABOY so true

  • I love this song!!!

  • I've been listening tp Phoebe for years...Used to listen so much, that my daughter learned to love it too. She still some times sends remindewrs like this!

  • ~ lovely, lovely Phoebe ~

  • this was so poignant back then ,70s for and yes she was the "The Women" Thank You Miss Phoebe, "Love You"

  • Thanks a lot, texpaco. Beautiful upload. I remembered that melancholic love. Honey, have a good trip! Lol.

  • I first heard this album in an apartment in Cremorne Point, Sydney, Australia Day in 1976. Every moment of that weekend come back to me when I hear these songs. That weekend changed my life. For the better!!

  • My big brother made me listen to this when I was little.

    didnt like it.

    Then I listened to it years later and said WOW!

    Miss you so much, bro. You taught me so much, im still trying to catch up to you.

    Like going to school together in the snow.

  • where is the love button???/

  • beautiful song: "...I wish I was a soft refrain; when the lights were out, I'd play and be your friend." One of my favorites.

  • Health, life and joy for you Phoebe!!! Thanks for your music and great voice.

  • Phoebe, you are Awesome, speedy recovery. We Love You!!

  • that's Zoot Sims on tenor sax, really magic album, I think Phoebes best. Superb songwriting. Thanks for posting
