RIP Phoebe! You were/are one of the best! ✌

[@Fishbite9]

Magnificent mother, brilliant artist was Phoebe Snow.

[@denisepaul7274]

Phoebe Snow’s voice is unmistakable. It’s a beautiful instrument. My favorite female singer of all time

[@charlesdavis7461]

Instrument is an excellent description

[@rickknight1810]

Phoebe Snow had abilities to play tricks with her voice I've never heard from anyone else. Also notice how much the tone of her voice sounds like a saxophone, how in this song the two instruments blend so gorgeously.

[@2715bunky]

I have always thought of Phoebe Snow as the female equivalent of Aaron Neville. Her tone quality and vibrato are magnificent!

[@debbiechang5781]

What a great observation! Spot on!!

[@voxandlocks]

I've never heard that comparison, but it fits perfectly.

[@williamjacques8496]

First time I heard this number it made me misty that's when I know it's extrordinary.I had to hear it 20 more times what talent she posessed.❤❤❤

[@marybaillie8907]

Phoebe's voice is so beautiful, with a bluesy growl and had a range of 4 octaves. "Poetry Man" was her biggest hit. This song is so beautiful with an amazing orchestral backing that parallels Phoebe's one of a kind voice. Great reaction Harri. Thanks Harri and Michael. 👏 Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦

[@diane-]

Love Phoebe Snow, she has a most beautiful voice. Thanks Michael and Harri.

Hi Diane, Thank you; I never get tired of hearing her! - Brooklyn Mike

[@michaelplotino7046]

Hi Harri, As usual, Thank you so much for doing my request. I'm glad that you enjoyed it! - Brooklyn Mike

[@BetsySchiller-sj2sm]

Thank you so much for reviewing Phoebe Snow. She's always been one of my favorite singers. She's so unique. Mercy on Those is my all time favorite.

[@ismesis]

everybody get all you can..Phoebe is/was great

[@brendawoodson3230]

If you not listening to this womans catalog of songs you are missing out on some of the best singing you will ever hear, more more more

[@mikemilne]

100%. Her vibrato is completely controlled and amazing. Nice

[@tommuscatello5999]

What a magnificent voice. She and her daughter are together again ABOVE. Rest in peace.

[@elizabethscott7660]

Her popular songs aren't a true reflection of the true soul of her music and lyrics. Everyone should become intimate with Phoebe 😉 Janis Ian is another that deserves a musical resurrection

[@moanman1776]

One of the very first jazz vocals I could really relate to... & your reaction feels authentic. Lyrically it's so poetic. The jazzy sax solo is beyond sexy. But it's almost Shakespearean, the sad message of this song & how it resonates all these years later. I miss her.

[@TheDivayenta]

What a brilliant singer songwriter. Jazz musicians loved working with her. On this track you have Ellington era great Teddy Wilson ( piano) and Zoot Sims ( sax) .

[@waltw4537]

Have not heard this since back then. So nice. Thanks. Wow..

[@carolhardin7397]

I was sitting front and Center in 1978 listening in concert to her wonderful voice.😊😊

[@charlesdavis7461]

What a singer.

[@machpodfan]

Unique and irreplaceable voice❤❤❤

[@supasoulproductions]

Phoebe is very under-appreciated. She does a great version of Let the Good Times Roll backed up by the Persuasions and also a wonderful arrangement of Teach Me Tonight.

[@Sober2003]

Harry leave it to you to review and react to one of my favorites off One of my favorite albums by one of my favorite singers reacted by one of my favorite reactors! lol I was introduced to Phoebe in the late 70s early 80s by my older brother turned me on to her. I then turned my wife onto her and my son on a trip to Florida he was stuck in the car and forced to listen to that album over and over from the drive from New York to Florida! Lol She left music to take care of her daughter who had many health problems and wound up coming back in the 2000s my wife and I went to see her At the Paramont theater on Long Island New York she died shortly after that it was so sad when I heard the news she’s one of the great voices I’ve ever heard thanks for checking her out❤

[@denisepaul7274]

I first heard Phoebe Snow late one night listening to WTSR, The College of New Jersey radio station. I immediately fell in love with her voice. The very next day, I bought her album “Never Letting Go”, which would make it the late 70’s. At that time I didn’t realize she was the “Poetry Man” singer. A bit later, I was getting to know a new boyfriend and, like we did back then, we talked about our favorite musical artists and I mentioned Phoebe. He wasn’t familiar, but without my knowledge, he heard she was going to be at the Academy of Music in Philadelphia and surprised me with 5th row tickets! So many years and many, many concerts later, it is still one of the best I’ve ever seen. Over the years I’ve bought more of her albums and went on to replaced them with CDs. It’s heartbreaking to me that most people only know her as the Poetry Man singer. Phoebe’s collection is vast, incorporating many musical genres and includes collaborations with other great artists, such as Paul Simon, Linda Ronstadt and Jackson Browne. I miss her, may she RIP.

[@jh500us]

Phoebe sang a duet with Paul Simons' song 'Gone at Last', its got a great gospel vibe and was from his 1975 album Still Crazy after all these years. Its another great vocal from Phoebe.

[@RogerWyatt365]

I've always loved Phoebe Snow. Her voice is unmistakable and her songs are always soothing. Want more? Try "There's A Boat Leaving For New York"".

[@bearballin]

This was from Phoebe's very first album. I do recall Harpo's Blues getting radio airplay, college stations mostly, and adult contemporary stations in LA. For the record Phoebe's background includes folk, jazz, blues and black gospel music. Great examples, her duet with Paul Simon, Gone At Last. Her second album is even more jazz oriented. Linda Ronstadt and Phoebe shared a mutual admiration for each passion for different musical styles. They performed a folk duet, "Married Men", by the Roches on Saturday Night Live which is exquisite vocal performance. And her version of Etta James' "At Last" showcases Phoebe's full vocal power and 5 octave range!

[@bkm2797]

I adore Phoebe Snow, may she RIP, such a talent, just her vocals a real blusey sort of gal. Thanks Harri

[@altarehkugler4675]

Oh my word! I just found you, and have been going back through your videos. You have alot of great music you're reacting to. I'm feeling the urge to dig out my old albums after listening to some of these songs😊 I absolutely Love Phoebe Snow!!!💜

[@martyemmons1859]

I'll always stop what I'm doing and listen to Phoebe Snow singing "Harpo's Blues". I remember that Randy Crawford also started in the 1970's with "Street Life" by The (Jazz) Crusaders. I hope you discover Randy Crawford for yourself, Harri.

[@debbiechang5781]

I have always been intrigued by Phoebe Snow’s very unique voice. I have seen her do some beautiful duets with Linda Ronstadt. This is beautiful. Thank you to Michael for this request. 🌺✌️

[@tommuscatello5999]

Harri, so glad I found your channel.

[@user-cb1og8pc7n]

Pheobe Snow is in a class of her own. Lovely

[@mikemilne]

Truly next level.

[@aaronstandingbear]

'Poetry Man' is my favourite and likely her best known.

[@wallacecallow2255]

I would suggest 'Poetry Man' by Phoebe. But you may have already heard it. It was her biggest hit, I think.

[@Cynthia...]

Nice one Michael. I do love Phoebe's voice, it's truly one of a kind.

[@michaelplotino7046]

Hi Cynthia, Thank you; I never get tired of hearing her! - Brooklyn Mike

[@brendahhstiles9992]

This album was played very much in my home in the seventies...she plays piano on this also.♥️

[@TheoZoffrok]

FYI Phoebe was a guitar player, and didn't play the piano on this song.

[@Able-Man]

I'm guessing that I would call that: "Jazz"!

[@jackcotner8981]

Such a beautiful voice!

[@debbieford8842]

Loved her!!!

[@rulebs]

Great voice. Love to hear you react to" Gone At Last ". Phoebe Snow and Paul Simon,

[@wallacecallow2255]

What a great raspy voice she had! Just right for that casual jazz style. RIP.

[@EvenCheekier]

She does a superb version of Teach Me Tonight -- please give it a listen sometime.

[@reedhaley15]

Anyone not listening to this with headphones is missing so much.

[@chopsjazz1]

From a day when pitch correction software didn't exist. And artist was an actual artist and crafted their art.

[@1487.]

She's awesome .. please check out her live version of at last it's incredible!!

[@jamestakacs]

Love your programs as always. This Sunday February 19 is Smokey Robinson's birthday. IF you have time maybe you can listen to one of his songs. How about a rocking "Going to a Go Go"? Oh yea, BTW Smokey and I share the same birthday. ;)

[@carolhardin7397]

She sang a duet with Paul Simon called Gone At Last Check it out !

[@FunkyMarcel]

With a little Shakespeare thrown in...

[@pennymcneela7095]

Harri, listen to Every Night by Phoebe Snow, it's a Paul McCartney song but Phoebe does it better..

[@theray1319]

[@Timbear45]

Check out the jazz illuminaries who accompany her....SUBLIME

[@Able-Man]

¿Bluesy Jazz?

[@heydayma10513]
