Welcome to my channel! This is a music reaction channel. For the longest time, I've loved creating content on the internet. I started off with a gaming channel right here on KZbin, which eventually turned into a Twitch gaming channel, but as time has gone on I've evolved into doing other things on KZbin. For years now I've wanted to create a music channel on KZbin, and recently just figured "why not?", so it’s time to give this a go! Give me any suggestion you have for music reactions, and I will do my best to get around to them. As music has fallen further out of my life, I figured this would be a great time to get reintroduced to music.

Love Phoebe Snow, I asked so many reactors to give her a listen to no avail, they didn’t know what talent they were missing, sigh. Thank you SO much for listening (lyrics notwithstanding ha).

[@Kairon111161]

This is quite beautiful, of course. But I would highly recommend also listening to the studio version -- it's impeccable in a way that no live performance could be -- the engineering on it is almost as wonderful as Phoebe's voice, her guitar playing and her writing. And the session players on the studio version are also superior to this live version. It's also simpler, less jazzily improvisatory. And I know -- that line about his wife -- remember, in the 1970's we were SOOOOO LOOOOOSE -- and so confessional -- but that line always hurt me later. The voice and the music are so sublime, and that one line near the end just CRASHES you back into reality and human frailty and fault. Just listened to it again -- you MUST do a reaction to the studio version, PLEASE -- even though I'm not even a contributor YET. But I do love you and your channel. You're such a sweet and reflective young man. The percussion, that bass, the SAX -- it's stupendously head and shoulders above this live version you just reacted to.

[@johngriswold2213]

Spot on...Phobe is a lost treasure, totally surprised to see her resurface here;)

[@joannerichards1750]

Phoebe provided credited guest vocals backing Paul Simon on the gospel-tinged hit single "Gone at Last" and her backup vocal is heard on Simon's hit song "50 Ways to Leave Your Lover," along with Valerie Simpson and Patti Austin, from 1975. Both "Gone at Last" and "50 Ways to Leave Your Lover" appear on Simon's Grammy-winning 1975 album Still Crazy After All These Years.

[@jimideaton]

You need to hear Maria Muldaur sing "Midnight at the Oasis." It'll tickle your imagination in a good way.

[@doplinger1]

Phoebe was one of the singers on "New York Rock n' Soul Revue" (Donald Fagan), one of the best live albums you'll hear. She does a stunning version of the classic "At Last" as well as a great cover of "Shaky Ground". She can really wail more than this clip would lead you to believe.

[@richdiddens4059]

My favorite song of hers is San Francisco Bay Blues.

[@doplinger1]

@@richdiddens4059 I’ll have to check that out!

[@katherinebosse5706]

I literally wore out her self-titled album..one of my all time favourites.

[@billyoliver4000]

You are correct, Rick Moranis. Though he has recently started to make appearances again.

[@richdiddens4059]

I'm pretty sure he's now doing voice work. His kids are now grown.

[@PlutoAnn]

She is such a talented singer-songwriter and guitar player. Phoebe was sought after by many for her voice talent, but she had a special needs child she chose to concentrate all her time to. Yeah the lyrics are a bit loose, but it was the 70s the age of free love. hahahah. Thanks Shawn, your reactions are always delightful. I love how you have gotten to know the artists and their backstories. Who started where and how and when they moved on. You Rock

[@michelefaucher4180]

The poetry man makes everything thing all "rhyme "❤

[@KJ-4321]

Oh yes, I of course remember when this song came out! Thank you to whoever made this donation request! This was a good one… as always, thank you Shawn for your fun and informative reactions! 😀

[@sourisvoleur4854]

She has a melting caramel voice. She does a duet with Paul Simon on his Still Crazy album, "Gone at Last."

[@lara314]

Great pick! Such a unique talent. Her Second Childhood album is one of my all-time faves.

[@clifton8929]

Phoebe's album 'SOMETHING REAL' is a beautiful masterpiece of singing. Songs like "'Something Real," "We May Never Feel This Way Again," "Soothi'," and "I'm Your Girl" are stunning. Hier vocals are out of this world. Trust me, Shawn, give Phoebe a few tries.

[@tedcole9936]

If/when you come back to Phoebe Snow, I highly recommend two studio cuts from her self-titled album: “Harpo’s Blues” and “Either or Both”. The entire A side of that album is fantastic, one of my top LP sides of all time. No weak spots at all. Thanks for giving Phoebe some attention, here. She was a special component of my 1970s musical experience.

[@ericanderson8886]

Agreed, love both those cuts.

[@Fishbite9]

A magnificent mother first, brilliant artist second was the exquisite Phoebe Snow.

[@JD_Cool]

Phoebe Snow's duet with Paul Simon on "Gone At Last" is absolutely insane. Her vocal range isn't human

[@tchampagne1494]

I loved seeing her (and Jackson Browne) live in May 1975 in Davis' Freeborn Hall. I played her albums over and over. I particularly like her cover of the song Teach Me Tonight. It was very sad that she had to stop touring and basically gave up a promising career to care for her son who needed 24 hour a day attention. I adore her voice and her skill at playing with her range and the emotions conveyed.

[@anthonyblakely399]

One of the most beautiful and best vocals in music history. She's one of my all-time favorite female artist. I love your reactions. Great reaction. 🎉🎉🎉

[@anthonyblakely399]

Phoebe knows Paul Simon. I was introduced to her on Paul Simon's first debut solo album. She sang on his album on several tracks. Then she came out with her own single, "Poetry Man. " Then she came out with her own album. Great album.

[@sharonpate5481]

I discovered this album in the 70’s and automatically fell in love with this song! Haven’t heard it in ages. Thanks 🌻💜👵🏼✌🏼

[@1pelicanmarsh]

the live was good but the studio version really features the range of her voice. I grew up w/ that song, but your research educated me. thanks also for the remark you made regarding the time spent watching (that I do happily/so enjoy it)

[@bearballin]

Love love love Phoebe Snow! You are spot on regarding her guitar work. For a real treat, you must check out her SNL performance of "Married Men" a duet w her bestie, Linda Ronstadt. It's a cover from the folk duo The Roches. It's exquisite ❤

[@intothesunset3]

Great request and reaction!❤

[@Prone2Thrill]

My mom (the best taste in music) had this album in her amazing collection as a kid. Good Times is another solid track from this LP

[@jollyrodgers7272]

First time I heard this it was on my FM car stereo - THE STUDIO TRACK - and it just halted my soul, to listen more intently. Definitely need to hear that studio cut! slower tempo, much more vibrato and she was younger. Love the female vocals - from 1973, check out Judy Collins' COOK WITH HONEY (True Stories and Other Dreams album), and SEND IN THE CLOWNS from the 1975 album Judith. Then there was Joan Armatrading and her 1976 hit LOVE AND AFFECTION from her self-titled 3rd album. And don't forget to listen to Joni Mitchell's entire album Hejira, from 1976, which begins with COYOTE and the unmistakable Bass tones of Jaco Pastorius (that whole album puts my soul on a coast-to-coast winter road trip).

[@SusanW714]

Love her voice!❤

[@deegomez2089]

A unique talent. Will be loving this song forever 💚🎶🎵

[@loisrogers9042]

Love her!❤

[@JoeCruz-hs2yt]

the sax is on the studio version a must listen !

[@garyarnett1220]

Agreed, listen to the studio version.

[@deegomez2089]

For another unique performer, check out Rickie Lee Jones....Chuck E's In Love 🎶🎵💚

[@dow311]

OMG I do remember this song! Love it. Thanks for the info, I had no idea. I remember the song a bit faster on the radio.

[@chitownlee]

Rick Moranis is the actor.

[@tommcgowan525]

Sometimes I think your running down my concert list from the 70s

[@davidmckenzie420]

I also think you should hear the studio version. I so enjoyed figuring out the guitar...

[@chitownlee]

I remember hearing this on the radio whole driving and I had to find out who she was.

[@hoovgroov1571]

Check out Janice Ian "At 17"

[@johnharkness7114]

Phoebe is a gem. Please dive deep

[@joyceedwards2708]

Queen Latifah does a great cover of this song.

[@SpuzzyLargo]

I don't know why I was thinking of Minnie Riperton for some reason.

[@steverusso177]

me too

[@suesmith7968]

I know why: another amazing musician with an incredible vocal range, and a too short career. I love them both!! ☮️❤️

[@Wordsmyth8]

It was a great live performance but I still prefer the studio version.

[@traceydsm]

The studio version of this is wildly superior.

[@jamesscura7122]

Good, but the studio version is off the charts. Take it from somebody that was there.

[@S1MPLECAVEMAN]

Compared to the studio version this sounds lame af
