Title: Phoebe Snow dies at 58
Post by: Simon on May 01, 2011, 22:13

US folk and blues singer Phoebe Snow has died of complications from a stroke she suffered last year, aged 58.

The singer-songwriter, who was best known for her 1975 hit Poetry Man, had been in a coma since the stroke in January 2010, her manager said.

Snow largely dropped out of the public spotlight soon after her first album to care for her daughter who was born with a severe brain injury.

Because it was on the BBC, so I assumed it was just me who didn't know who she was.  ;D
