Phoebe Snow has died.

I feel bad. I still listen to one of her discs that has all of her hits, but I never knew until today that her career was derailed by the need to take care of her severely brain injured daughter. I always liked her and thought that her voice was unique, even though my friends made fun of me for it. It seems as if she was a very good person as well.

Frogman,
I comletely agree with your comments about Phoebe. A singer, no matter how gifted, cannot disguise a lack of truth and emotion in their voice with any kind of artifice or stylizing. She was the real thing.
