If you lived through the 70's, you know this song. It seemed like they played "Poetry Man" every 5 minutes on the radio for years.
RIP

“If you lived through the 70’s, you know this song. It seemed like they played “Poetry Man” every 5 minutes on the radio for years.”
At one time, back in the 70’s when car radios had push buttons, I held the world record for channel change (2.7 nanoseconds). I credit this song with helping me set that record!

Rest In Peace, indeed. Prayers for her loved ones. Do read the full piece.

RIP, Phoebe. I was 16 when Poetry Man was released. It had me fantasizing about the beautiful sounding voice behind the radio.

Wow. She was far more important to that child than she would have been as a singer. G-d bless and RIP.

God Bless her. I loved "Poetry Man"; I'm a big fan of that kind of music. We went to see Jackson Browne at a small concert in Mobile AL, in 1973 or 74, before he'd really hit the big time. I can't even remember who opened for him, but the next night, at his concert in New Orleans, it was Phoebe Snow. Hate that we missed that one.
I remember reading about it when her daughter was born, and she gave up her big singing career. IIRC, her husband left her, just after the baby was born, so she was truly on her own.
RIP, Phoebe.

My favorite song of hers was a duet with Paul Simon; “Gone at Last”.

I meant to add that she adopted the stage name "Phoebe Snow" (her legal given name was already Phoebe) after the iconic lady used in advertising by the Lackawanna Railroad.
I was going to let Willie Green mention this, but then I realized it would be up to me.

A lovely voice and some beautiful songs, and it also sounds like a lovely soul as well. RIP and prayers for the family.

So sad. Another piece of my youthful past slowly slips away. RIP, Phoebe.
