    Phoebe was one of my best friends growin up.My father went to school with her and from that our friendship began.Phoebe would take me into the city when I was a teenager and showed me a whole different world.She was always there for me and everyone else she loved,especially Valerie who was her heart.I miss her so much it makes my heart ache.Thank you for paying her a tribute and keeping her memory and incredible and unique voice alive.RIP PHOEBES

    She wasn't just a singer....she was an event. She was unique and will not be equaled in my opinion. Rest in peace Phoebe.

      I couldn't have said it any better. I fulfilled a dream of seeing her perform at the Birchmere in Virginia shortly before she passed. I was over the moon. I was kind of irritating others because I was so beside myself. So - so grateful I had that experience. Love her always.....

    Wow, Uncomparable voice, style and depth. She could have been so much of a bigger star, but instead, lived her life for her child.

    It was so very hard for Phoebe to perform once her Valerie Rose was gone. She pushed herself, and others pushed her, lovingly, but it broke her heart to even try. I am so thankful that God gave us one last listen to Phoebe, and that He then took her out of her pain, and back into the arms of her baby girl. Thank you for posting this.

    R.I.P. wonderful Phoebe, rest with your beautiful Valerie. What an appropriate funeral song. In the 90’s, a young lady I worked with and adored, Katy, was killed in a head on car accident & her best friend sang this at her funeral.❤❤❤❤

    I had no idea that Phoebe Snow had died until I was watching the Grammy Awards this year, 2012!! I was truly shocked and very saddened. What an incredible talent lost! I had been listening to her music since the '70's. RIP Ms. Snow. Thank you for giving us all so much joy and feeling. You were truly one of the greats and one of the few that could be called an artist.

    I have to tell you, I loved her from when she oened for Jackson Browne in the middle seventies. Mindy introduced her to me in the early ninties. We were friends from then on and she was the inspiration for me to keep fighting through my own illnesses. Her devotion to Valerie and her ability to keep a sense of humor and a sense of being is otherworldly. This song for Mindy is the best representative.

  • @mw7882
    @mw7882 3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    I can imagine that she could not help but think of her daughter at times when she sang this one. She made every sacrifice to love and care for her until she died at age 31 in 2007.

    I saw Phoebe Snow live three times back in the 1980s. Had been buying her records since the 1970s. There is a special place for her music in my heart and soul. RIP, Phoebe. You were loved.

    As a small child, I remember my mother playing Phoebe's self-titled album on repeat. I grew up on Phoebe Snow and now my children are too. Her voice is one of my most favorite childhood memories. Thank you so much for posting this song.

  • @rontemplin
    @rontemplin 13 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    I'm so taken back my her emotions during this song. You can feel her pain and only want to take some of it for her, tuck it away and deal with it yourelf. This brings tears to my eyes, not because of the song but because of her raw, uninhibited, tender and mostly human emotions. I've learned a lot by Ms Snow via her music and eyes. R.I.P., God needed another angel and Valarie needed her Mama...

    @Fishbite9 13 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Phoebe Snow helped to guide my footsteps since 1978 when I saw her perform for the first time. Over the years she became my heroine. Phoebe Snow's beauty came from within and if you were not blown away by her voice, you would catch a bit of her amazing magic, tucked it away for a time when you needed it. On my life, I have called upon her magic to get me through, to get me over, to see things from a better vantage point.

    I guess I had been caught up in the magic that she gave so freely.I always had Phoebe in my life since I was 15.and somehow a lifetime passed and I got a chance to see her in concert! It was a magical time in my life because I could not get enough of her and seen her 10 times in the N.Y. area.I wish do overs were possible and that she had recovered and that we her friends and fans would be enough for that to happen.Where ever wonderful souls go I'm sure Phoebe has an audience as big as the sky.

    @Ready2ReadU 12 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Well, God bless the audience for being able to contain themselves. In any other setting, they would've been tearing out the lining of her jacket, throwing Blackberrys, car keys and coin purses in the air, and spinning around like Whirling Dervishes. That woman's voice was absolutely IN-CRE-DI-BLE!!! Her immense pain was both salve and supper for the listener. Love U, "Lady Guitar". There'll never be another like you.

    your comments just made me cry -but in a good way. I miss her so much. We would have these hours long conversations about nothing and everything. She was a genuine unique person and I was blessed to have known her. I first saw her open for Jackson Browne in, I think, 1974 or 75. That show changed my life

    I miss Phoebe Snow and her unequaled voice so much. I keep looking on Itunes and Spotify in hopes of anything new but sadly nothing's ever there. I would hope her former record labels will dig in their archives and release any demos or recordings that never made it to her released albums/cds. She was truly one of a kind - no one compare and for me at least, she'll never be forgotten.

  • @dan4456
    @dan4456  12 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    Thanks so much for the kind words about Phoebe. I really miss her and our long rambling conversations about so many subjects it was hard to keep up.I never saw her down or depressed during all the years she was giving her precious Valerie 100% of her time. When Valerie passed, she just gave up feeling much and her body turned against her. I am not sure if it was released but she recorded the Aerosmith song, "Angel," and it would make you cry. Now, she and Valerie are each other's angels.

    Wow, you put the memory of Phoebe in such a beautiful, loving way. First being a fan and then a friend with Phoebe for many years allowed me to see almost every side of this magnificent woman. I know how her heart was broken and her feeling of loss when Valerie passed away. She was free to revive her career but she did not have the spirit. Valerie was her spirit. Thank you for your comments.

    Thanks for such a beautiful note about our friend Phoebe. She was a truly special person in so many ways. She was there to sing for the mutual friend who introduced us. When you have time, take a look at the Kate Taylor clip from the same performance.

    Thank you so much for the comment. The audience was so amazed by Phoebe's performance that the only word to describe it was "spellbound." She walked in, stepped on the stage, sang and left. Thank God I got it on video and tape. The entire evening was special, just as was Mindy, but Kate and Phobe's performances were surreal.

    Thank you so much for the comments. Everyone who knew this incredible woman could tell her life revolved around Valerie. I am blessed to have spent hours on the phone just talking about nothing with her - talking about nothing with Phoebe was like reading a great book or seeing a movie that moves you in ways that are hard to explain.

      Maybe you should have read the note beneath the video which says that Phoebe sung this at a memorial for her friend. Try reading prior to posting something so vile. In other words she was singing at a funeral of course she was probably really emotional most people would be.

    I'm not sure a singer whose voice is allllllllll over the place in tone quality and who takes a breath after almost every note or 3 note phrase can be called a "good" singer. I'm not trying to be mean - I came to listen because as a former singer who ruined her own voice through improper techinque, it was recommended that Phoebe Snow was an example of a singer who HADN'T. And maybe she hadn't but this preformance of Rainbow doesn't prove it for me. Breathy or belting or catterwalling combined with endless pauses, nope, can't find the attraction. Sorry.
