Anne Murray
Nova Scotia-born Anne Murray intended to work as a physical-education
instructor, but she always pursued an interest in music. After she was
turned down for a spot on a national TV show called Singalong Jubilee,
she received a call from the show's producer two years later. He offered
her a chance to make records, and when she agreed, she found herself with
a million-selling crossover single in 1970, "Snowbird." A cover
of Gordon Lightfoot's "Cotton Jenny" in early 1972 returned
her to the higher regions of the country Top 40, peaking at number 11,
while its follow-up, "Danny's Song," became a Top Ten hit on
both the pop and country charts in early 1973. Following two minor country
hits, she returned to the Top Ten early in 1974 with "Love Song."
The single was followed by two Top Ten country hits -- the number one
"He Thinks I Still Care" and "Son of a Rotten Gambler."
Murray entered her period of greatest commercial success in 1978, as a
cover of "Walk Right Back" climbed to number four on the country
charts, followed shortly afterward by "You Need Me," her biggest
hit since "Songbird"; the single reached number four on the
country charts and topped the pop charts, going gold by the end of the
year. For the next eight years, she had a virtually uninterrupted string
of Top Ten country hits, highlighted by nine number one hits: "I
Just Fall in Love Again" (1979), "Shadows in the Moonlight"
(1979), "Broken Hearted Me" (1979), "Could I Have This
Dance" (1980), "Blessed Are the Believers" (1981), "A
Little Good News" (1983), "Just Another Woman in Love"
(1984), "Nobody Loves Me Like You Do" (1984), and "Now
and Forever (You and Me)" (1986).
Murray maintained a dedicated following during the late '80s and '90s
through her occasional recordings and her concerts. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine,
