<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body"> 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.<span style="font-weight: bold"> Her decision comes after New Jersey's (201) magazine feted the singer as one of Bergen County's "black music-industry greats" </span>along with Stevie Wonder, George Benson, Ben E.
