Phoebe Snow, R.I.P.

It's been a sad week for music fans. Singer Phoebe Snow, best known for her hit song, "Poetry Man," also died this week from complications from a 2010 brain hemorrhage. She was fifty-eight years old. Matt Perpetua from Rolling Stone says:

Snow came to prominence in the Seventies as a folk guitarist but broke through by integrating elements of jazz and blues into her music. In 1975, "Poetry Man" became a Top Five hit, and she appeared on the cover of Rolling Stone and as a musical guest on Saturday Night Live. She stepped away from the spotlight shortly afterward to care for her daughter Valerie, who was born with significant brain damage. Though Snow would continue to record and perform until 2008, she spent much of her time looking after her daughter until Valerie died in 2007.
