Still Crazy After All These Years
The album spawned a Top Five 1975 single on the "Billboard" Hot 100 with "Poetry Man" and was itself a Top Five album in "Billboard", for which she received a nomination for the Grammy Award for Best New Artist. The cover of "Rolling Stone" magazine followed, while she performed as the opening act for tours by Jackson Browne and Paul Simon. (She provided credited guest vocals backing Simon on the gospel-tinged hit single "Gone at Last" later in 1975—#23 on the Hot 100.) The same year, 1975, also brought the first of several appearances as a musical guest on "Saturday Night Live", on which Snow performed both solo and in duets with Simon and Linda Ronstadt. During the 1975 appearance, she was seven months pregnant with her daughter, Valerie. Her backup vocal is heard on Simon's hit song "50 Ways to Leave Your Lover," along with Valerie Simpson and Patti Austin, from 1975. Both "Gone at Last" and "50 Ways to Leave Your Lover" appear on Simon's Grammy-winning 1975 album "Still Crazy After All These Years."
