If you aren't familiar with Buffy Sainte-Marie, she is a gifted musician, educator, and person. She gave up a career in "popular" music to instead become a resident of Sesame Street.
She formed a particularly strong relationship with Big Bird (as seen above), and is a really good teacher. a lot of the residents of the Street are good at singing, but other than people like Hoots the Owl and Bob, they aren't necessarily "musicians."
Buffy is a musician.

One segment she is particularly known for is teaching Big Bird about breastfeeding. There was no song in that one, though. Maybe she will write one later. Birds, including "Big" ones, do not generally understand breastfeeding because they do not do that.

Might have made more sense to have Mr. Snuffleupagus be the breastfeeding observer instead. He at least is a mammal, I'm pretty sure.
It would have been kind of complicated because nobody besides Big Bird was supposed to know that Mr. Snuffleupagus existed at that time, but Buffy didn't interact with the other humans too often so who was she gonna tell? Cody obviously wasn't "talking" and her husband Sheldon seemed to be a bit of a lump that nobody would really trust anyway. Buffy and Snuffy should be friends, it even rhymes.
