Oh wow, totally didn't expect this. Love Phoebe Snow, especially the Second Childhood album. RIP I think her music is a mix of folk/jazz.

[@rodneymaddox9867]

Phoebe, an this song, was a lot of things but not country. I think you went with the acoustic guitar sound. Bluesy, Folksy with soulful vocals.

[@RooK61]

Totally agree. I was like... Country? Really? Definitely liked that he dug the song, but he was way off base with that.

[@tchampagne1494]

Phoebe gave up her singing career for her challenged child who needed extra care. She died way too young. Check out Teach Me Tonight.

[@ALXandroATS]

Please don’t tell me she passed. NO. PLEASE NO.

[@cherylrobinson6718]

I had not heard this song in years, it's still a great song RIP Ms Snow

[@michaelasay6140]

Nobody reacts to this song...so thanks...one of my all time fav's

[@ShyeNYC]

One of the most hauntingly beautiful songs I've ever written/sung. Because her voice was so soulful, a lot of people thought Phoebe was African-American, but she was in fact Jewish! Check out her song "Love Makes A Woman" 🔥

[@ShyeNYC]

Oops I meant one of the most beautiful songs ever written/sung. I DID NOT mean to imply that I wrote this song!!!!😊

[@Lee-wh2bg]

Well . . . we adopted her. Beautiful soul, beautiful song.

[@ShyeNYC]

@@Lee-wh2bg 💯

[@Maya-bu2rf]

@@Lee-wh2bg She always said she was happy to be adopted by any fans

[@RooK61]

Curious, are there Not any Black African American Jews? Or Black African Jews, for that matter?

[@johnniewells1177]

This song was a combo of Folk, Soft Rock and R & B. Great song !

[@jessieball6195]

Actually closer to jazz-with hints of those genres you mentioned.

[@chelseabrinkman7789]

Saw her in concert. The best concert I have ever been too.

[@ranman4336]

Saw Phoebe twice live, what a voice! Brought tears! Sweet as honey!

[@nycrumbs]

Oh Yeah!! Loved this album, but the "Second Childhood" album was, and is, my jam. A lot of people heard her voice but didn't know it was singing in the commercials or theme song to a tv show. She is writer, singer and guitarist. RIP Phoebe

[@brenthowell8883]

She had different genres of music in this song. She is one of the most influential African American women I've ever listened to!😊

[@justsaying2847]

Except she wasn't. She was just a nice white Jewish girl from Teaneck, New Jersey.

[@brenthowell8883]

@@justsaying2847 Your right. She had so much soul in her singing I thought for sure she was African American. Thanks!

[@Maya-bu2rf]

@@brenthowell8883 She said people were always asking about her ethnic background and all she really knew was that her parents were Jewish. She was going to do a DNA test and died before she could do it. She said she was happy to be considered. African American by fans. Some said they were adopting her.

[@Fishbite9]

Magnificent mother, brilliant artist was Phoebe Snow

[@cathyreed6723]

This is why I really like your channel - it reminds me of songs I've forgotten about!!! Thanks also to the person who recommended it😊! Your reaction was the right one - I was feelin it too!!!

[@caseybrown6848]

thx Cathy,i Mother Popcorn requested it!

[@elkalabaw7665]

folk jazz, man. phoebe was the bridge between joni and ella.

[@michaelwiggan7437]

Always Love This ... Classic 70's {I Love This This Song} ...

[@shevawn1973]

I had forgotten all about Ms. Phoebe! Love this song. It's flow is so smooth, and dreamy.

[@kenperk9854]

Here's another song using that Ountry -style standup bass to full effect and a Grammy win for Actor David Carradine! kzbin.info/www/bejne/moq2lGqHr7ynqpo

[@raymondreid4987]

She's not country my friend she's jazz with some blues mixed in. Her voice is pure as her last name.

[@ALXandroATS]

I connected a penny cathode receiver back in the 70’s (long wire to ground and a safety pin connected to a tarnished penny) and this is one of many songs I listened to as I would fall asleep back then. Truly memorable.

[@musicman9914]

Beautiful soft Rock song. Classic song.

[@danielh115]

Always loved Phoebe Snow,s music. Such a unique voice.💜

[@cathleensmith4717]

Soulful country! This whole album is a rabbit hole.

[@charsibaba6960]

The great Zoot Sims on tenor sax

[@nessaseetah1805]

I hear Phoebe and I feel my Mama (in heaven) is by my side... ♡

[@bearballin]

Country music??? Try folk jazz, contemporary pop. Having been a lifelong fan of Miss Snow since 1975, I can't think of an actual "country" song she has sung; yet it's the rhythm & blues, and acoustic folk guitar that's her musical signature. She's got a three octave vocal range, and man she can belt out some black gospel! Phoebe's rendition of Etta James' At Least, will make any listener a believer. Sadly she passed away just a few years ago. Check out her other great songs "Harpo's Blues", "Good Times Roll", "No Regrets", "Two Fisted Love", and her duet w Paul Simon, "Gone At Last". Peace

[@kenperk9854]

That stand up country style BASS sound is incredible with her beautiful voice. Two years later, another singer songwriter use that same Country Style standup Bass. Actor David Carradine used that same "down in the gut" sound on his big hit, I'm Easy, in 1976. Two super songs of the 70s.

@@kenperk9854 the stand up bass, also known as a double bass. It's popularity is most associated w jazz, blues, rockabilly, zydeco, and bluegrass. In Phoebe's song Poetry Man, it's being played as a jazz accompaniment.

[@DavidGonzalez-rt6gm]

Light jazz brother. That's it. Basic love type ballad from once when.

[@jessieball6195]

This is closer to jazz music, with a touch of pop.

[@S1MPLECAVEMAN]

Well excellent choice btw, didnt think many people ever heard of this amazing voice.

[@Maya-bu2rf]

She did not get the play others did. She should still be selling a lot of music especially since she died ten years ago. Amazon has almost nothing of hers. First two albums went gold. So why was her music not played?

[@ProdigyBowlersTour]

I worked in top 40 radio when this song was popular and I don't recall it being played on country radio stations. But it was a huge hit on both top 40 stations and on adult contemporary stations. It's just pop genre music.

[@Maya-bu2rf]

There is a video on here about how she wrote the song. It is on Pop goes the culture

[@supasoulproductions]

Phoebe Snow is a stellar talent that a great deal many more people should know about!! A wonderful singer with a jazz background and an amazing range and songwriting ability. I love the phrasing she uses on those 'oooh yeah yeah' parts. Sounds like a horn player's phrasing. I think you are confusing genres because of the acoustic vibe of the song, but It's def jazz, not country. Cheap Thrills, Shakey Ground, Love Makes a Woman, It Must Be Sunday...are some of my favorite tracks from this amazing artist.

[@mulatanyc865]

OMG Phoebe Snow, you’re killing me. She one of my favorite artist from the 70’s. She has such a unique voice. It’s more of a folk music sound. I actually still have this album. Unbelievable! You are such a delightful wonderful open minded young man to listen to her song Poetry Man. Thank you for sharing!

[@voxandlocks]

Another rabbit hole! I could recommend 5 different Phoebe Snow songs, and you'd be totally confused. When she does jazz, you'd swear that's her specialty. But then she does straight up funky soul just as legit. Same for Soft Rock, Pop and Gospel. She was a chameleon. If you get a chance, check out "All Over" and "Shakey Ground".

[@918donna]

Loveeeeee Phoebe! ♥️

[@sooutrageous007]

I think the word you're looking for is "Acoustic," not Country.

[@JustJammin]

Yeah that's it, perfect description!

[@Chicago_Podcast_Authority]

Folk pop with some jazz. No country

[@peggyryan2851]

No country. Jazz. If you hear sax the first guess is jazz

[@brendawoodson3230]

Check out Harpo's blues

[@3Blali]

One of my favorite albums. I would say she's not country. More like folksy blues with some jazz thrown in. I enjoy your reactions.

[@marioleon2479]

"Country"??? Dude, what? C'mon. Glad you enjoyed this glorious soulful woman though.

[@abevillanueva1974]

singer/song-writer legend!! acoustic guitar?! one of the most popular Karaoke' song bruddah!! next...Roberta Flack.....

[@timverba4830]

I want to scold Just Jammin for labeling "Poetry Man" as a Country tune. But, I see several comments where people label it folk, rock, and jazz. So why not Country too, if you find some connection to the song with what you know to be Country? We do not need to always put music in a categorical box. Music is for everyone. It simply wants to be heard. It does not need a label. Music stands on its own.

[@evanhughes1510]

How does this in any way sound country?

[@JustJammin]

The vibe of the instrumentals is what I was trying to say.

[@truthurts1692]

"Country" is waaay off

[@kathylee1261]

This is NOT Country music!?!

[@Lee-wh2bg]

Child you kill me. Everytime you can't figure out a "genre" you think its country music. Black folk don't rock with country like that. You need to go listen to country music and figure out why you always want to think we do that. I am not hating on all country music - hell, I like a couple of artists, but the sound and singing are completey different. I really, really wish you would explore these 'genre's' you are so fixated on. Then realize that it's just music with categories (Gospel, R&B/Soul, Jazz, Funk, Rock (which is black made into a money making scheme for white 'singers/musicians') and Classical. Get into our legacy/history and you'll understand the music even more. Love you - keep learning.
