Members DRW50 Posted April 26, 2011 Members Share Posted April 26, 2011 That's a shame. I remember watching her duets with Paul Simon and Linda Rondstadt on SNL. She and her partner married in Canada a while back. I'm glad she had that chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted April 26, 2011 Members Share Posted April 26, 2011 Hers is one of those voices I absolutely love but have never properly seeked out... know what I mean? For instance I'm sitting on this memory of this lady on a talk show talking about all the jingles she sang like Safeguard and Stouffer's and Cotton (she couldn't say which ones so she sang up to a point and hummed the brand names Kathy Lee on Name That Tune-style. At any rate that must have been Phoebe or a very good sound alike. Well we know she sang this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LKDJVTRsB04 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted April 27, 2011 Members Share Posted April 27, 2011 I'd forgotten she sang the Different World theme song. I always liked her version, it had a good edge to it. I wasn't that fond of "Poetry Man." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members alphanguy74 Posted April 27, 2011 Author Members Share Posted April 27, 2011 That was just heartbreaking. And you know, soap writers can't or won't come up with stories like THAT...and it's real life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted April 27, 2011 Members Share Posted April 27, 2011 So true. It kind of reminds me of Ann Martin now that you mention soaps. It would really be something to watch a single mother (or father) devote their life to a special needs child cast with a real life special needs child actor. Soaps are so quick to get women pregnant then let the kids grow up off screen. It's stories like these that really make me hope there's a life after this one.
