Since more people know her as Phoebe Snow, I think maybe that should be the title of the article. Bjones 19:07, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
I don't know how but she needs to be changed to Phoebe Snow. Ever hear of Belle Silverman? Of course not. Is there a Belle Silverman page? Ridiculous. But it does redirect to ... Beverly Sills. World famous Beverly Sills. Ever heard of Phoebe Laub? Of course not. Is there a Phoebe Laub page? Yes! Why? Pheobe Laub should redirect to Phoebe Snow (singer), or something like that. If I knew how to do that, I'd do it now. Please someone do it, and consider the comments in the section above as well. Thank you. -- SafeLibraries 12:10, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

-- ShelfSkewed Talk 19:57, 21 February 2010 (UTC) Phoebe Snow (musician) → Phoebe Snow — The singer is, I believe, the primary topic for the term Phoebe Snow and her article should therefore be located at the undisambiguated title. I realize page hits don't always tell the whole story, but Phoebe Snow (musician) gets well over three times as many visits as the other two uses (Phoebe Snow's debut album and a railroad promotional character) combined, and well over three times as many as the disambiguation page (now located at Phoebe Snow (disambiguation)). It seems clear that the overwhelming majority of users looking for Phoebe Snow are looking for the musician.— ShelfSkewed Talk 23:12, 20 February 2010 (UTC)
Additional comment: Of 39 incoming article-space links to Phoebe Snow, 37 refer to the singer, 2 to the railroad character (fixed now), none to the album.-- ShelfSkewed Talk 23:25, 20 February 2010 (UTC)
I removed a sentence that stated that having a disabled daughter adversely affected Phoebe Snow's life. That is the author's personal opinion.
From www.phoebesnow.com:
Snow never regretted her decision to put aside music so she could focus on Valerie's care. She was devastated when her daughter, who was not expected to live beyond her toddler years, died in 2007 at 31.
"She was my universe," she told the website PopEntertainment.com that year. "She was the nucleus of everything. I used to wonder, am I missing something? No. I had such a sublime, transcendent experience with my child. She had fulfilled every profound love and intimacy and desire I could have ever dreamed of."
(This is my first time editing a post, hope I did it correctly.) Thanks,

Among Ms. Snow's creditis, there is no mention that that she sang the title theme for the teen comedy "A Different World", the "Cosby Show" spin-off for the first season. I think it not out of place to say that Dr. Cosby would agree that Ms. Snow's contribution was the only "dignified" portion of the entire first season, of which afterwards the show's style completely changed, for the better. Again, all accolades to Phoebe's talent. Also, I must say that another omission was made that probably the reason for Ms. Snow's daughter's diability was due to her dropping acid years before under the influence of her then-husband. As I recall, this was revealed back in the late 70s when Phoebe admitted her child had severe neurological problems.

There seems to be some disagreement about her year of birth. A number of edits have changed it to 1952 but most referenced news stories list it as 1950. Some editors have left comments with their change saying that the national news stories have the date wrong. User:MooseBlaster says, "She was born in 1952, according to not only NNDB, but her official webpage PhoebeSnow.com and the fan page http://www.vdebolt.com/phoebehome/." -- RanchoRosco ( talk) 01:23, 29 April 2011 (UTC)

Above is from the section "Personal life and death."
I recall in Autumn 1976 hearing a radio interview with Phoebe Snow where she was expressing enthusiasm for Jane Roberts' channeled "Seth" books. In fact, that is how I first learned of those books.
This statement is from a defunct Seth forum posted by the woman who is the archivist for Jane Roberts' papers:
"[Phoebe Snow] Met with Jane [Roberts] and [her husband] Rob [Butts] in 1974 per Jane's journals and correspondence."
https://speakingofseth.com/index.php/topic,2493.0.html
Posting this as an FYI.
A brief remark by Jane's Seth re religion:
"All religions are distortive. For that matter much of your science is distortive. Both arrive at approximations, at best, of reality."
