Queen Latifah (real name Dana Owens) has recorded a cover of Phoebe Snow’s great song, Poetry Man. And it’s a gorgeous version. Onetwoonetwo.com writes:
Trav’lin’ Light is Latifah’s second foray into the realm of jazz, soul,
and blues. Once again, she embraces a sultry and saucy mix of fabled
female vocalists who’ve inspired her. Exploring the songbooks of
PeggyLee, Etta James, Sarah Vaughn, Nina Simone, Shirley Horn, Carmen
McRae, Roberta Flack, Mary Wells, Phoebe Snow, and more, Latifah adds her warm vocals and
playful personality to a hand-picked mix of familiar classics and
forgotten jewels.1. POETRY MAN
(Words and Music by Phoebe Snow)
QL’s mom’s favorite song. QL sought and received her mom’s blessing
before recording it. Top 5 Pop hit, #1 Adult Contemporary hit in 1975
for Phoebe Snow.
