Singer Phoebe Snow dies

By The Canadian Press
Tue, Apr 26 - 11:14 AM
NEW YORK - Phoebe Snow, a singer, guitarist and songwriter whose song
``Poetry Man'' was a defining hit of the 1970s, has died.

Rick Miramontez, her longtime friend and public relations representative,
says Snow died Tuesday morning. He says she died of complications from a
brain hemorrhage she suffered in January 2010.

Shortly after Snow's ``Poetry Man'' reached No. 5 on the pop singles chart
in 1975, her daughter was born with severe brain damage. Snow decided to
care for her at home rather than place her in an institution and largely
dropped from the music scene.

Snow's subsequent albums found smaller audiences. Through the 1980s and into
the 1990s, Snow sang commercial jingles and occasionally performed live. Her
daughter died in 2007 as age 31.
