Phoebe Snow is so often mistaken for African-American, she’s decided to get to the bottom of her ethnic roots. “I’m going to take a DNA test,” Snow, a Jew whose real name is Phoebe Ann Laub, told Page Six. Her decision comes after New Jersey’s (201) magazine feted the singer as one of Bergen County’s “black music-industry greats” along with Stevie Wonder, George Benson, Ben E. King, the Isley Brothers and Diddy. “I was peeing in my pants laughing. I was like, this is fantastic, to be in such great company,” said Snow, who had a smash hit with “Poetry Man” in 1974. “Believe me, people have been asking me about this since I started in the recording industry. My mom was the whitest, alabaster-skinned person you can imagine, but who knows what went on four generations ago? So this mitochondrial DNA test should settle it.” Oprah took the test and discovered she was linked to South Africa’s Zulu tribe.
