Phoebe Snow (musician) : ウィキペディア英語版
Phoebe Snow

Phoebe Snow (born Phoebe Ann Laub; July 17, 1950〔〔 – April 26, 2011〔) was an American singer, songwriter, and guitarist, best known for her 1975 song "Poetry Man". She was described by ''The New York Times'' as a "contralto grounded in a bluesy growl and capable of sweeping over four octaves."
== Personal life ==
She was born in New York City in 1950,〔 and raised in a musical household in which Delta blues, Broadway show tunes, Dixieland jazz, classical music, and folk music recordings were played around the clock. Her father, Merrill Laub, an exterminator by trade, had an encyclopedic knowledge of American film and theater and was also an avid collector and restorer of antiques. Her mother, Lili Laub, was a dance teacher who had performed with the Martha Graham group.〔("The Blues of Phoebe Snow" by Don Shewey )〕
Snow grew up in Teaneck, New Jersey and graduated from Teaneck High School.〔Nash, Margo (June 22, 2003). ("Still Singing, Still a Fan Of Trains" ), ''The New York Times''. Retrieved October 10, 2007. "Her first record, ''Phoebe Snow'' (Shelter 1974), with the single "Poetry Man", went gold, and Snow, who had been discovered performing in a Greenwich Village coffeehouse, shortly after graduating from Teaneck High School, found herself a sudden success."〕 She subsequently attended Shimer College in Mount Carroll, Illinois, but did not graduate. As a student, she carried her prized Martin 000-18 acoustic guitar from club to club in Greenwich Village, playing and singing on amateur nights. Her stage name came from a fictional advertising character created in the early 1900s for the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad, in which Phoebe Snow was a young woman dressed all in white, emphasizing the cleanliness of Lackawanna passenger trains whose locomotives burned anthracite coal.
Between 1975 and 1978 Snow was married to Phil Kearns (who later came out as gay), and on December 10, 1975, her daughter, Valerie Rose, was born with severe brain damage.〔Holden, Stephen (October 21, 1983). ("Things Are Looking Up Again For Phoebe Snow" ). ''The New York Times''. Retrieved August 23, 2008.〕 Snow resolved not to institutionalize Valerie, and cared for her at home until Valerie died on March 19, 2007, at the age of 31. Snow's efforts to care for Valerie nearly ended her career.〔 She continued to take voice lessons, and she studied opera informally.〔Friedman, Roger. ("Saying goodbye to Valerie". ), ''Fox News Channel'', March 22, 2007. Retrieved August 23, 2008. Substory of "Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie Likely Guests at Cannes".〕
Snow was Jewish and Buddhist.〔(''Jewish Journal'', May 2011; "Remembering my friend, Phoebe Snow" )〕
