...Woodstock 25th anniversary festival in 1994, as part of a soul act that included Thelma Houston, Mavis Staples and CeCe Peniston.
I was not aware of this, and it's really awesome!

What a wonderful singer who made wonderful records. Her daughter, who'd been disabled since birth, died a few years ago - Phoebe Snow got dealt a hard hand but made wonderful things with it. Sorry that she is gone.

The last I remember hearing her was dueting with Dave Mason circa 1988 on the minor hit "The Dreams I Dream". I know only a few of her songs but liked them all.

This is a really great tune in spite of its moments of awkward failed Joni Mitchellisms meeting sexy slow jams.

I've gotten really into Phoebe Snow over the past couple weeks. If y'all haven't done so, I'd recommend.
"Cash In" from Second Childhood was where I locked in, and then everything else opened up for me. Wish I'd appreciated her more when she was alive.

There's a real easiness to the feel of her music that's not "easy listening," but more like the "oh yeah, this is really comfortable" quality of Bonnie Raitt's records.
