You need to look for the CD of The New York Rock & Soul Revue, with Snow doing a great version of the Etta James classic "At Last" and dueting on Eddie Floyd's "Knock on Wood" with Michael McDonald.
We saw her as a "guest star" with McDonald and Steely Dan a few times in the last several years and she always sounded great.
I know Linda is still around but I miss the music she did before she moved over to big band and then Latin music. Phoebe's voice could break your heart.

I gasped. She had such soul and passion back in the day. Thanks for the news...albeit sad news.
Such a sad life.
Sorry to hear about this. I loved her song "Poetry Man" and the song she did with Paul Simon, "Gone at Last."
Brings back memories of a time and place I'd almost forgotten...Hard to believe the world was like this once. Thanks.
Her voice is so distinctive. And never whiny!

This is a real shame.

Loved Phoebe Snow. She's another underrated artist. As Jeff Meyerson says, 60 is too young.
Great video. Great memories.
