"Shoo-Rah Shoo-Rah" by Phoebe Snow

Vocalist Phoebe Snow scored her big hit in 1975 when "Poetry Man" soared to #5. With a little help from Paul Simon, she scored another one with "Gone At Last," which reached #23.

Snow came close to cracking the Top 40 once again with a reinvention of her sound to suit the early 80s. "Games" and "Mercy, Mercy, Mercy" topped out at #46 and #52, respectively, in 1981. Both of these came from her 1982 comeback record, "Rock Away." Overlooked was the irresistibly fun jam, "Shoo-Rah Shoo Rah."

Sadly, Snow passed away in 2011 at the age of 60.
