Annette Snell (March 22, 1945 – April 4, 1977) was a singer originally from Orlando, Florida. In the early 1960s, she was a member of the vocal backing group, the Mar-Vells, and later joined the girl group The Fabulettes, recording several songs in 1965 and 1966. In 1968, Snell left the group to pursue a solo career, moving to New York and then to Nashville, Tennessee. Under the name Annetta, she recorded "Since There Is No More You" with Paul Kelly, who introduced her to record producer Buddy Killen. Snell achieved her greatest success with the No. 19 Billboard rhythm and blues hit "You Oughta' Be Here With Me" in 1973, followed by two more R&B chart hits in 1974, "Get Your Thing Together" (No. 44) and "Just as Hooked As I’ve Been" (No. 71). She later signed a deal to record an album for Epic Records in Muscle Shoals, Alabama, working with the Swampers session musicians. Although one unreleased single, "Promises Should Never be Broken," was produced, she returned for another session in early 1977. Tragically, Snell died in a plane crash on April 4, 1977, while returning home from Atlanta, Georgia, after working on her album. She was married
