Wow I feel so blessed to have heard about her at a young age, when my very young mother who was so into music in the 70′s played her to death. I have since then picked up where my mother left off and started collecting vinyl of my own and most are songs that I grew up listening to with my mom, her breakout self titled debut being one of them, I just wish I had a good quality copy, mine is slightly damaged but I still listen to it anyway!!!!

Thank you for the lovely background on Phoebe Snow. She is a very under appreciated artist. The video was from my posting on Youtube…wacmpr for those interested. That performance was unrehearsed and unplanned until the day of the taping in 1998. Zap Mama had never seen this footage until now. The contacted me wishing to receive a copy of this and the 3 other songs they did. Of course I said yes and sent them DVDs of it. Anyone interested can view the other songs by Zap Mama on my channel. You have a wonderful website and thanks again for linking my video. Bill

I love this post B, Choices of the Heart. Your recommendation to call up your family and friends and let them know how much you care about them is right on. It reminds me of one of my favorite songs “Do You Realize” by the Flaming Lips.

This probably isn’t the right place, but I have a personal rant that kind of ties into these kinds of decisions. I could never vote for John Edwards given his decision to continue with his presidential campaign despite his wife being diagnosed with cancer. Certainly, it’s a personal decision that they’ve made together, but John, get your priorities straight!! Campaigning takes hustling on the road 24/7. Give it up and cherish the time together with your wife man.

Props to Phoebe. I hadn’t heard of her either, but that’s probably due to her knowing what’s up. Phoebe can live in peace knowing she did the right thing.

Pheobe’s story really touches a deep part of my heart and soul. How beautiful and sad in the same moment. I know Valerie is at peace

I’m just 28, Nichelle! Just turned, too. I feel old sometimes, and I am fascinated by our history… but I’m still just a baby in the grand scheme of things

Or at least, I feel like one.
And I thought it was weird that I’d never heard of her, too. I am obsessed with the music of her era. Zap Mama is awesome! Definitely future Afrobellas of the Week!

OMG I LOOOVE Zap Mama!

And I LOOOVE Phoebe Snow!

How old are you that you never heard of her? Am I that old??? I was a little girl when she was big but dang!

Anyway, I am sorry for the loss of her daughter.

I remember when Phoebe Snow was singing hit songs with that warm, unique voice she has. To learn that she continued to put her daughter first shows us what an unparalleled testament to love she chose to express in her life. Above all else.

Thank you for this post.
