I see you'll be here with Jimmy Webb this year. So glad people are rediscovering his music, I bought your CD after hearing 30 seconds of "The Moon's A Harsh Mistress." So glad I discovered YOU!

A Christmas song for you that will become a standard:
Hi Maureen,
I have long been a fan of yours and saw you twice in Raleigh NC. I have recently written and submitted for copyright a Christmas song that I strongly believe will become a holiday standard and would like you to consider singing it.
My song is about a powerful and emotional Christmas topic that heretofore has been overlooked. If you would like to hear a piano and voice demo of this Christmas song, please do respond so that I may email it to you. I will be very happy to explain more about the theme of the Christmas song at that time.
Best regards,
Robert A. Sevio

I am a member of the Richmond Symphony which played with you last night. I was blown away with your voice! In rehearsal I was impressed that you sang the whole show in full voice then the show was incredible. Everyone I know who was in the audience loved it and raved at your voice and showmanship. Thank you for continuing your amazing career and sharing your gift with us.

Maureen, I can’t begin to tell you how many times “The Morning After” has gone through my mind since the unfathomable event at the elementary school in Connecticut on December 14th. As dark as things are, we can only pray that the families so affected by this horrific event, as well as the rest of the nation, will in time be able to find the strength to “escape the darkness” and “have the chance to find the sunshine.” Thank you for this wonderful anthem that has been called upon so often in the search for hope and renewal of spirit in times of unthinkable and overwhelming tragedies. Blessings and love from Jill. I weep as I write.

Driving back home on a long stretch of highway on a brisk and sunny October morning today from staying overnight in a small town called Raymond WA. My son was part of Senior night at his school's home football game where he was not only a Prince during his Homecoming but ultimately became King. What a special night for him and me! Anyway driving home and listening to 70's music on Sirius, Different Worlds came on. The moment the song began all I could do was stop myself from allowing the tears to flow as the song brought back tons of memories from the time the song was popular. Time to reflect and reminisce and how lucky I am to be alive. Thank you Maureen for reinforcing my faith in everything and everyone. From one of your biggest fans :)))

Dear Maureen. I am hoping to see you again this year on the MDA Telethon Labor Day Weekend. If you do, I hope you will consider performing your classic #1 hit "The Morning After". It has been a while since I have seen you perform that great hit. It is such an inspirational song and fitting the theme of the telethon. I am also crossing my fingers that you will appear in Seattle in the not too distant future. My best regards to you.

Hi Maureen,
Many years ago I heard you sing a beautiful ballad on the Jerry Lewis telethon. I do not think it was one of your hits (not When You walk alone), but it was the best rendition of the song I ever heard. I was trying to track the song down on line, but with no success. It might have had the word "children" in it, but I am not 100% certain. If you know what song I am talking about, and could let me know, I would be most appreciative. Continued success, and take care of that incredible voice of yours.
Best,
Jack

Hi, Maureen. Loved CARRY IT ON this past Wednesday in Red Bank. Your wonderful singing and warm presence are such inspirations, especially to those of us who have endured some of the same struggles as you have faced at one time or the other. Your every song is a true testament to the love of your craft that you always generously share with the audience. It seemed that I could identify with each song and each vignette in at least one special way. Thank you for transporting me to another “dimension”—you always do. Hope to see you again soon. Much love, Jill.

I attended your show last night in Red Bank, NJ. I am about two years older than you, but like you I have had several MRIs. I know how scary the procedure is,and especially waiting for results. Your bravery impressed me immensely and convinced me that I can survive the brain problems and cancer surgery that I have so far endured. I cried through the entire concert, and I have tears in my eyes as I write this, but I wanted to thank you for your talent and your courage. There is truly a "Morning After" for strong old gals like us!

How can you still sound soooo great after somany years, maybe even better than before?? You look awesome, and the 90 minutes went by in a flash of old time favourite songs, and you were outstanding! I have been telling all of my 3000 friends on here, and anyone who will listen! This show is spectacular! Haven't had a chance to read the program yet, but I want to come back, and hopefully get an autograph!!! I was very impressed, and I have seen over 100 Broadway shows, and over 300 non-Broadway shows, and I have volunteered for unumerous theatres in the area, and still do! You are awesome!

My wife and I went to see your show "Carry It On" at the Two River Theater in Red Bank, NJ last night. It was wonderful. You still have the most wonderful voice. I remember growing up listening to all of that music as I was born in 1960. My favorite is of course "The Morning After". I fell in love with your music and music of this generation as soon as I could sing and hold a guitar in my hand. I also write songs and sing and would love for you to listen to my original songs.

Today a friend on Facebook shared the theme from "Angie" -"Different Worlds" after so many years I had almost forgotten how much I truly loved that song and how much of a part of my childhood it was. I had to find out who was the amazing singer behind the song and I discovered it was you and it made sense as I recalled your lovely voice. Did you write that song? feel free to write me back and let me know. It's such a lovely melody and it's truly one of my favorite songs of all time. Now it's 2am and I can stop singing it and listening to it thanks to you and a friend on Facebook, but that's o.k. Thank you.

In the late 1970s, the radio played your song, "You Loved Me Too Late." The second time they played it, I was ready with a hand-held tape recorder. I still listen to it to this day. Why did the song not ever appear on an album so I could buy it? My tape is so old it's about shot!

Maureen, you'll have two new sources of fans now- I hadn't seen The Towering Inferno since it originally hit the theatres but now it's available on Netflix. Hollywood tends to reinvent genres after a few decades so that movie may find a new audience. And I can't help but ask- was it more amusing or irritating when the South Park boys sang, "The Morning After" backwards in an episode where they essentially poured water on an updated Wicked Witch of the West? Keep singin! We love ya!

Hi Maureen,
I have been collecting CDs and downloading songs for many years. More than 10 years ago, I came across a version of Amazing Grace which was attributed to Celine Dion. Over the years this song became one of the all-time favorites, downloaded through the music sharing sites like Napster, Limewire,Bit Torrent, Kazaa and many others. The first time I heard it (and every time after) I knew that the artist was NOT Celine Dion. Many times I completed Internet searches trying to find out who the real artist is. I must have versions by over a hundred different performers. None of them came close to matching "Celine Dion's" version. On March 4, 2010, I sent an e-mail to TeamCeline@musictoday.com asking if Celine ever recorded Amazing Grace.
Here's a copy of that email:
Hi Celine,
I'm almost 67 years old and have loved many types of music throughout my life. Like most fans, I have a reasonable collection of 78s, 45s, 33s, 8-tracks, cassette tapes, CDs, DVDs, videos and MP3-types. The Internet is full of both legally-obtained and pirated music. An interesting facet about the Internet is that so many people do not have the ability to distinguish the real singer of a song previously mis-identified by another. As is the case the file sharing sites just wind up passing the mis-identified song all around the planet. When I first heard Amazing Grace by Celine Dion on someone's MP3 player, told them that was not
Celine Dion singing. Some people have voices so distinct that you don't have to see them or have them say more than a couple of words to figure out who it is. For TV commercials, Gene Hackman and Donald Sutherland
come to mind. There are a great many singers whose voices are so remarkable, as well. You are in that category of folks who can sing exquisitely and effortlessly, a cappella. Your voice is unmistakable, so much so, that I find it hard to believe that most people believe that it's really you singing that song.
I have searched the Amazon.com listings of Amazing Grace, trying to find out who really sang that version and have listened to countless versions to no avail. I also tried to cross reference some singers like Charlotte Church, Cecilia or Sarah Brightman whose voices sound close to the one singing Amazing Grace which is attributed to you, but those
searches came up empty too.
Last year, a friend of mine was telling me about his new iPhone and all its great apps. His favorite is an app which can identify any song just by holding it next to the source of the sound. He said it has never been stumped. I told him that I have a song that will stump him, brought in my laptop from the car and logged onto the Internet. I found
a site which hosted that song clicked 'Listen'. As I suspected, the program did not recognize the artist. This leads me to think that the song may not have been professionally recorded, or might have been made
for a movie which did not have a soundtrack that was worthy of recording or was recorded as part of a TV movie.
Wiki.Answers.com answered the question about this song as:
Who sings Amazing Grace in the movie American Gangster?
Its Celine Dion who sings it with a gospel choral from london
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2pj4QcoHW28
There is a bit of choral in your version, but there is no trace of you or any other named singer in the Amazing Grace version in American Gangster.
Since none of the music sites like Amazon and iTunes offer a rendition of Amazing Grace by Celine Dion, I believe that the Internet version floating around is mis-named. In my heart, I know that you did not sing this version of Amazing Grace, but if you do know who sang it you can ease my undying curiosity about the identity of the singer.
Thanks,

Your Fan
==========================================================
Sometime this year, I came across a YouTube video which played this Version of Amazing Grace. The video's publisher stated that the original recorder of this song was Maureen McGovern. For the next few months I tried to confirm this. I finally came across your Works of the Heart Foundation and the namesake album which contained a sample of the Amazing Grace song. As soon as I heard a couple of bar I knew that you originally recorded that fantastic version. Alas, it is now nowhere to be found (legally). (I have a bid on eBay for a copy and I am hoping to win.)
Since no song identifying software can identify your version, I would love to have you re-release the full Works of the Heart album. If that is not possible, would you consider approving the sale of the Amazing Grace single on Amazon, iTunes and the other major music download sites? It will raise a fortune for your charity.
Thanks for providing me with much listening pleasure for many years.

I first saw you perform live at Rusch's supper club in Dunkirk, NY while I was a voice major at State University of NY, Fredonia in the '70's after falling in love with your voice on "There's got to be a morning after. Years later living in CT we heard about your jazz at the Rainbow Room in NYC on WNEW TV. I have seen your television special and feel fortunate to have a copy of your Christmas album. Toyland gets me every time! I cannot decorate my tree with your album and Oscar Peterson's Jazz Christmas. I cannot understand why your Christmas music is not played on the radio stations this time of year since you are a classic treasure!

Hi Maureen, I have been a fan of yours ever since my aunt Judy Scott brought me to see you at the Rainbow Room in the early 90's. I was blown away then as much as I was when I saw you at the American Music Therapy Association conference and the Pizza Express in London. Being an opera singer I know what a fabulous technique you have. As a Music Therapist, I am grateful for all support that you have given us in our field. Currently, I work for Heartsong a music and art therapy association for children with Special Needs.

We are doing a benefit concert for our local library and she would like to sing "Why can't I forget him" but we can't find the music or even guitar tabs. We love the song and hope that you can guide us to where we can find the music. Thanks so much and again we love your music.

Despite your bronchitis, torn miniscus and rotator cuff woes...what a fabulous show you put on last nite at Birdland! Our party of 4 thoroughly enjoyed each song! A fabulous voice back in the 1970's and still fabulous today!
ps:That 'Angel in the House' song almost bought me to tears. Some very poignant words. I felt you were singing directly to me and my friend said she felt the same way. Powerful stuff.

Hello there---I'm a fan trying to locate a CD recording or DVD of a performance you did several years ago on TV of "Johnny One-Note." I believe it may have been for a PBS fund raising program or another TV variety show guest appearance. Do you remember the show & did you ever do a recording of that song on any of your albums? Thanks much.

You are so great and your being here and donating so much to us at this time of sadness with the flooding meant so much. All of us that were there are grateful to you and know your talent is everlasting.

My husband and I were at your performance in Endicott on 10-15-11. You are incredible - your CD's are wonderful, but the live performance was SO MUCH MORE. And your pianist was beyond belief. I realize that you two have worked together for a long time, but I think it takes a lot more than just time to produce the musical conversations which the two of you produce. He is a TREASURE. Thank you so much.

Hey there Maureen, what a treat it was to hear you live in Endicott! I can't thank Jill Weston enough for inviting us up from NYC for the show. What a wonderful opportunity to hear one of the greats! Also your generosity in helping with relief for the flood victims in the area was truly remarkable. I know that my husband, who hails from the area, was blown away by both the performance and your gesture toward the community. Thanks to you and your accompanyist for a wonderful evening. And thank you Jill for making it all happen!

I must admit, I was a bit reticent about attending your concert at EPAC in Endicott, NY., having not really cared for "The Morning After" in my younger years. Perhaps it's that my wife and I now resemble Ernest Borgnine and Shelley Winters (Poseiden Adventure) instead of the once youthful guy and gal we were when the movie was popular. At any rate, it was one of the most spectacular shows I've ever had the pleasure of attending anywhere or at anytime. Your ability to reach in and grab one by the heart and mind at the same time is a very wonderous thing. Perfect pitch and flawless delivery seem to fail in describing your incredible talent and the way you command the stage!
It's also quite impressive that you are seemingly devoid of the usual "diva" syndrome as you were very human and approachable at the reception after the show. I feel compelled to apologise for the rambling dissertation that your "biggest fan" delivered. I could tell by the "deer in the headlights" look that you were not completely comfortable with the proceedings, but perhaps she was just overwhelmed that you were sitting next to her as prattled away as to how you came to be there for us.
Your take on Joni's "Help Me" riveted me from the first note and didn't stop until your encore ended with " The Morning After". I must admit I have a profound new take on that song after hearing it in a brand new way and in person.
Being a singer and musician myself, I found divine inspiration in your stage presensce and your ability to be completely comfortable in your own shoes. That's something any performer struggles with and perhaps the hardest facet of performance to learn.
You will always remain in our hearts and souls and wish you all the best as you continue to inspire and reach new audiences that you so richly deserve.
The fact that you waived your fee for the benefit of us flood "refugees" is a very commendable and altruistic act on your part. Your inspiring show was exactly what this beleagured soul was in desperate need of. You simply took us away from my troubles in a way that will always be in our hearts`.
God has blessed you!
Much Love,
Roger and Paula

Maureen McGovern dazzles EPAC audience
October 18, 2011 — tenor17
Reviewed by Tony Villecco
Pop singer, jazz artist, Grammy nominee and Broadway star Maureen McGovern gave a thrilling and emotion-packed concert last Saturday (Oct. 17) at the Endicott Performing Arts Center. What was even more amazing is that, when she heard about the flood here she decided to donate her concert fee to the community. Pretty classy lady, huh?
Always an admirer of her vocals, I, along with the almost sold-out house, sat in wonder of her magnificent voice, incredible range and often moving lyrics. There were several original pieces by her pianist, the brilliant Jeff Harris, which actually brought the audience to tears.
McGovern has been in the music business since the late 1960s. Her carefree banter and down-home stories about the early days and the progression of her career were both endearing and insightful. Practically a regular in Manhattan’s best supper and jazz venues, McGovern sang both familiar works and a lot of material from her new show, “Dangling Conversations.”
From soft, moving ballads to very fast and funny selections, the audience responded favorably at every turn. Here is an artist who, perhaps, has not always been given her due or proper acclaim, despite her amazing career span and the fact that she has one of the best voices ever to grace an entertainment stage. But she has earned all the more respect and admiration because she has chosen her own style and music, opting to not go with the flow of the everyday “same old same old” that traps many pop singers. McGovern sings on her own terms.
The community is indebted to local performer Jill Weston, an avid follower and fan of McGovern, who was responsible for getting the singer to the area (along with EPAC’s Lou Ligouri). This standout artist has found a loving home here, and we would welcome her back as frequently as she is able to come here. I sat with a dear friend and asked her to come with me to meet the singer at a closing reception, but she responded simply: “I can’t; I’m overwhelmed.” We all were.
Thank you Maureen, for an wonderful experience...

Dear Maureen,
I have no other way to reach you, so I am writing here on your guest book... I had originally written a lyric which was later turned into a song, called "God Speed",... my co-writer was Tony Lee Smith, who had hailed from Nashville, TN, now he is in Florida.. the singer was none other than Patricia Conroy, a famous Canadian singer. It is a very beautiful song and the genre is soft rock and the theme is about a woman missing her husband and praying for his safe return... Patricia Conroy did the song justice but, she only had recorded our song, as a master copy... right now I am pitching it... please, if you are interested in having a listen, contact me via my e-mail address... pattyhunter1952@gmail.com ..... thanks kindly, Maureen, yours truly...

Hi Maureen. I have been a huge fan of yours for many years and very happy to discover this facebook page with a "wall". Given your huge fan base, I am a bit perplexed that your other fb pages have relatively few "likes" and this one on my screen at least has only 12 and I am the only one "liking" any posts here??!! Is this page relatively new, or...? Anyway, I love your work. I think one of the first times I saw you was on Johnny Carson eons ago and you did a version of Lady Be Good that totally blew me away. I saw you a few times on PBS with another hero of mine, Mel Torme, whom I actually got to see and meet back with in '93 and another show you did with Placido Domingo, where I recall you sang Glitter and Be Gay. As a classically-trained singer myself, I love your voice, your technique and all the wonderfully varied art you make with them. I would love to know where and/or with whom you might have studied, something I am sure would interest your other fans - perhaps could be added on your bio page? I think I have pretty much all your cds now, at least the ones still available. I currently live up in Whitehorse, Yukon Territory, Canada. It looks like on your website you haven't performed anywhere in Canada?! Any chance of a Canadian concert? Whitehorse would be a longish trip, though we do have the lovely Yukon Arts Centre here. Vancouver or Victoria, BC (where I grew up), perhaps might be more feasible? Should I start saving my pennies for the trip now? :o) Cheers. Michael Eckford

Maureen,
Hi. I've been a fan of yours since my Dad and I saw you in the movie, The Poseidon Adventure, you sang the song, My favorite, The Morning After. I feel that you are still attractive now as you were then. You bring beauty to every song that you sing, I feel.

My husband and I have been fans for about 20 plus YEARS--from your days of touring with Mel Torme. We were ecstatic when we were able to attend your performances at San Diego Art Museum a few years back. Of course, we have almost all your tapes (that's how long we've been fans!)/CD's. Your phrasing of a song just brings it to life; your voice is ethereal.
It is my husband, Larry's, 80th birthday in February and I can think of no better gift than an autographed picture by his favorite performer. Any chance of getting one? I am also hoping to surprise him with tickets to see you in Palm Springs in March.
Thank you again, Maureen for all the joyous hours you've given us, luxuriating in beauty of your gorgeous voice!

Maureen, congratulations on your terrific new "dangling
conversations" that you did recently in New Hope. I found your interpretation of every song to be so very
powerful, whether funny or serious in context; no one can deliver a song
like you do. "Fatso" was such a hoot, and "Faithless Love" made me just
about melt into the woodwork. Your entire program was amazing and
captivating, as always. Thank you for 2 wonderful evenings of nothing but
the best.

Miss Maureen,
I am the guy who gave you some embroidered hats at the Newberry Opera House a couple of years ago. My wife and I still talk about that wonderful evening with a charming lady.
I just heard your superman song on the radio and I wanted to thank you for sharing your talents with the world. I don't believe anyone could sing that song the way you did. You nailed it for posterity. Best of luck to
you in your work and keep pleasing the world by just singing. Please come back to Newberry soon. If you are ever in our area of South Carolina,let me know and we
will buy you lunch or dinner. It's the least we can do
for the one of the best.

I sat on the front row and it yet to amaze after all these years I never tire of the Morning After, have everything you ever made on LP as well as CD give or take just a few, just wish they would re-release your first 3 on CD, so can put them on my ipod! I still hope to get up enough courage to try meeting you as well one of these days, everybody seems so lucky to grace you in your presence especially you are so warm and giving to us fans and your songs touch our hearts in so many ways with the words you express with each song you sing. Everytime I get depressed, I feel the need to reach out and listen to the Morning After over and over again and it makes me self assured, yes there is a morning after and it clears all my blues away! Thanks for all the years !

Dear Ms. McGovern, I was in BurgerKing for lunch and saw your picture on the Muscular distrophy ad. I thought for sure I was looking at Maureen O'Hara and commented to my husband that she sure looked great for her age. Then I noticed that it couldn't be her because she was probably 80 or more. So I googled your name and I do remember "Baby I'm Yours". Very good song. I'm mostly country. But I would like to ask if there is a relation to Maureen O'Hara. Maybe a grandmother? Your names are the same and you could be twins. I always thought she was one of the most beautiful actresses out there.

Hello, I have been a fan since the 70s. I love the songs best that you wrote such as "Love Knots" and "Now That I'm Old Like a Mountain" (sorry about forgetting the actual title). "You Must Believe in Spring" and "Bring Back My Dreamer" are also among my favorites. I havn't been able to come and see you since you gave a concert at Pepperdine Unversity in Malibu about 2002 and then here in Las Vegas at UNLV. I hope you will perform here again soon! Sincerely, Alan

Dear Maureen; I was wondering if you would be preforming anywhere near your old home town in the near future. I remember when you used to play for us at The Applewood Swim Club when I managed the Pool. I sent a request to your PR department for a request for a donation for a fundraiser for our Band and Orchestra Programs on March 18,2011. Hope you'll preform soon near here.
Sincerely,
Bryan Logan

I was wondering whether you perform the song Mr. Paganini any longer like you did back in the 80's on Johnny Carson? I was hoping there might be a Utube video of one of your performances of this song. You blew Ella out of the water with this one!!!!! Looking forward to my 4th concert this July 2011 in Minneapolis.

I have four or five of your CDs and have never run across a song as beautiful as "Out of this World". It is the perfect blend of your spectacular voice, instrumentation and arrangement--sheer perfection. The fact that it is found on my favorite CD of yours, the Harold Arlen tribute, makes it even more special.
I saw you perform twice--at the Algonquin and Rainbow & Stars. I still remember how people in the audience were practically gasping at the incredible performance they were witnessing. I felt the same way.
I'm sure that other performers like Jane Monheit have modeled their singing after you--the best in the business!
Thanks much.

YOUR NEWEST FAN....The song: "We may never love like this again", which I heard only recently in the movie "Towering Inferno", prompted a Google search.....and here I am. The reason is simply: As a lifelong opera fan, I likened your voice to that of some of the greats of opera, not necessarily for its range or power, but simply for its pure expression. That performance contained far more than words and music.....it contained conviction, emotion and the ability to reach into ones soul.

Dear Maureen,
My mother, Irene, was an admirer of your unique talents. She herself had a beautiful voice shared mostly with her family & friends. She passed in 2008, & I have struggled with the sense that I didn't do enough to make a difference for her during what turned out to be her last few weeks. Since then, I have tried to come up with a way to honour her memory. I'm honestly not sure why I'm sharing this with you, other than she would have loved to see you perform in person.
Thanks for listening, Janet

Been a fan of you, Maureen, for a long long time! I could say, since I became aware of this world! I love your voice, and I will love you forever! Many good singers about, nowadays, but none of them would be like your voice, that, to me, gets into the very core of one's emotions. I'm so happy finding your site! I love all your songs. I think it's actually your voice that makes every song a real hit! Most of the artists nowadays are 'engineered', because they don't have that genuine voice to sing. Well, they should thank technology. But you don't need technology! You voice is your power and charm, 100% pure talent, no mixes, no deceit. I have your CDs. One of my fave is the one that contains Very Special Love, Can you Read My Mind..and other hits.
Well, I will be your fan forever! That's for sure! I would love to see you one day, in person. Maybe just to get an autograph.. I dream about this since I was young. I know it's impossible, but hey, dreaming won't do any harm! :-)
I really hope you are able to read this. Somehow, thinking that you are reading this, makes me very happy to at least be "near" my favourite singer.
More power to you, and God bless you always!
Love,
Ramona

Hello. My favorite of your songs is Can You Read My Mind, which I always loved and then was surprised at my wedding when my wife took the mic and sung the song to me. It was such an amazing moment (it's here if you care to watch it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rW4bJPGjAwc ). Next time you perform in NYC we definitely plan on attending.

No luck. Will this ever come back as a CD? I played those songs constantly and would love to buy it as a CD. Your voice is awesome! Love your music.

Hi Maureen! I attended the Baltimore Symphony Xmas show today. Actually, I'm Jewish- and altho I love Xmas, I really came to the show because of you! I've never missed seeing you when you've come to Baltimore. Next time you're in town, you're welcome to come for a home-cooked dinner with my husband and me. How much traveling do you do? I imagine eating in restaurants gets a bit tiresome sometimes, doesn't it? I've been a huge fan of yours since the 70's- and own all but your newest CD. which I plan to buy soon! Your voice is still spectacular!! I am a piano teacher and singer myself. I perform at retirement homes and senior centers mostly. Merry Christmas and Happy Healthy New Year!

Miss McGovern, after attending your wonderful 10/23 performance at Geva, I dropped you a note at the theatre. Since then I have purchased "A Long and Winding Road." Oh, my-- what a tour de force!! While adoring all the selections, it is the gorgeous arrangement and your heart-felt interpretation of "Imagine" that touches my heart the most. Actually, listening to that particular number reduces me to a whimpering wuss, which I'm not in the least bit ashamed to admit at my age(67). Whether in person or via recordings, your impeccable instrument, compassion, and love of your craft are so evident. You lovingly draw your audience into the depths of your soul and hold us there even after the music has stopped--what a phenomenal gift. No one delivers a song like you, be it the gentle gem, "The Moon's a Harsh Mistress" (SOOOO beautiful) or "Rocky Raccoon." You are second to none. Thank you for enriching our lives. May you have a blessed holiday season and a productive 2011.

Hello Maureen. I loved your show at the Geva Theatre in Rochester so much that I came back to see it for a second time. The first time I was in the balcony, but I wanted to experience you and your beautiful voice from the front row. It was another wonderful evening. Thanks for the autogragh. I wish I could have met you in person too. Thanks for sharing your life, your voice, and your hope with me. May God bless you with many more wonderful years. Jim Rogers

Saw your show this afternoon...bought tickets for my Mom's Birthday gift, so we laughed when you opened with Happy Birthday! Anyway, as one of the younger people in the crowd, I can say that it was a great way to pull together lots of things she sang as we were growing up and beyond that. I was writing to see if the song you sang after talking about your Mother is available/downloadable...it talked about joy, but I didn't catch the name. Thank you - and I'm a "fan" as of today! :)

Saw the show last night at Geva and was so impressed with your voice range, stage presence and the ability to have the audience in your hands from the moment you stepped on the stage. My friend told me to make sure I brought tissue as I am so emotional about music..well, it started with Circle Game..you put so much feeling in it and that started me off. Was soooo happy we had 2nd row seats to get the experience we had in hearing, seeing and very much enjoying you....you go..girl.

I bought a Christmas cd and it has been my favorite over the years. Now I have found that sadly it was destroyed in the heat here.
I want to purchase 4 cd's and cannot afford more so can you please suggest your best four for me? the Christmas one was great ..It had some interaction with another but can't remember the name of it.

Hello Maureen, I was greatly entertained and deeply touched by your performance at the Geva Theater on Friday, November 5, 2010. The stories of your life made me remember and re-experience similar times in my life. We are about the same age, I was born in 1952. I have never heard anyone sing so beautifully before. Your performance gave me great joy and hope but also made me shed a few tears. I wish I had the pleasure of knowing you. I hope to see your show again before you leave Rochester. It was such a wonderful wave of emotions for me. I truly wish you many more years of success and love and peace. A friend, Jim Rogers

I truly love your voice and your singing. Recently ran accross a new young talent by the Name of John Stevens on Pandora radio. John was on American Idol and failed to make it all the way. Hearing him reminded me of you and Mel Torme. He sings with the Beantown Swing Orchestra. I thought the three of you would make a great PBS special. God bless!!!!!

Thank you not only for the show but for your gracious generosity towards our community. As a fellow 7/49er it was my episode of "This Is Your Life" complete with the laughter and tears. I will be going again this week-end with my 23 yr. old son who will be visiting from NYC - I'll be curious to see his reaction. Again, THANK YOU!!!!

First heard you in @1973 in Dunkirk NY, I was a grad student in music at Fredonia; I played your show (percussionist)in the mid-1980's at Chatauqua, NY. Ned Corman called me for the gig.
Your show at GEVA this afternoon(10/31/10) was incredable! I cried, laughed and melted. Your control of your voice captivates me. The dynamics, your intonation, pitch and range are astounding. You are so versatile and extremely beautiful!
I'm 63, single and just retired as an instrumental music teacher in Rochester ( I was awarded the Mr. Holland's Opus Award in 2004 in NYC; I think that was around when you said your mom passed, just 5 months before your broadway debut).
Would be honored to hear from you while your still in town.

Hi Maurine,
I had the pleasure of attending your 10/24/10 afternoon show at the Geva Theater in Rochester, NY.. You are a lovely and talented performer. The show was moving, nostalgic, and seamless in its many transitions. I was also a 1949 baby, presently a music teacher for the Rochester City School District and prior to that toured for 15 years with my own show group as a trumpet and bass player. Looked for your eligible bachelor sign-up sheet but couldn't find it;-). Would love to hear from you. Best wishes. Sal

Maureen,
I have not even seen the the concert at Geva yet, but am so happy to have you here receiving such applause!!
I am a "69 BHS grad who was so inspired to see you and your partner ( I cannot remember her name!) sing at an assembly,that i began learning the guitar and singing myself! Our living room on South Cadillac Dr.( right near the Howard johnsons) was the hot spot for many late nights of singing harmonies and opening our hearts!
Then there is one more memory of seeing Peter Paul and Mary at Blossom.... (68? 69?) and hanging around after the concert to be with Peter out on the lawn. You were next to him possibly having an impromtu audition. I cannot remember the song ( maybe Who will Buy?)....but you were fantastic!. Then I realized "it's Maureen from Boardman! We all sang some other songs with Peter and i got up the courage to bring in the third harmony line. Again... you inspired me to keep going.... way back in your shadow.... and proud to be there behind such a master!!!!
Thank you for being here in our city and for gracing us with your voice and spirit!
blessings and gratitude!

Maureen,
I attended your opening performance at GEVA last night and I wish you all the best with the wonderful show! We are members of the same generation and many of your life experiences are similar to mine. As always, your musical choices were "spot-on". Thanks for a special evening!

Hello. I'm Renny from Korea.
Though I was born in 1984, I like '80s musics and movies.
The album I like most among hers is 'State of The Heart'. And now, I'm on that album. Sweet songs with her fantastic voice! I wanna go back to the days, forever 80's!

Hello to the beautiful Maureen. How much joy your recordings have provided for this fan. As a 10 year old boy, i loved We may never love like this again which was a big hit in Australia. This song nurtured a life long penchant for romantic songs. Can you read my mind gives me goose bumps some 25 years after I discovered it. Different Worlds is one of my all time favourite songs. Your emotive and powerful voice has continued to delight me for some 35 years, and will for ever more! Thank you for such a wonderful collection of performances and spirit that you imbue all of your recordings with. I shall continue to unearth Maureen McGovern gems. Long may you shine.

Maureen, Vicki and I met you in 1971, when Ron & Judy Barron invited us to come to New Castle, PA to hear you sing. You were nursing a sore throat by sipping tea with lemon, and trying not to breathe that smoke-filled environment too deeply.(Vicki worked with Ron at the then-new WNEO-TV (PBS in the Kent & Youngstown areas).We had no doubt that you were destined for stardom, and, over the years, we've followed that star, from New Castle to Chicago, to New York's Carnegie Hall, to Fort Wayne's Embassy Theatre. (We've all travelled a bit over the year, haven't we? :-)
God gave you a unique talent AND the courage to keep going even when things were not good. Thank you for sharing your wonderful voice with all of us who listen in awe.
If you wander our way, to a small NE Indiana town, "C'ead Mile Failte", which is meant for you (and all who would be Irish) who come to our doorstep.
God bless.

Congratulations on winning MDA's highest honor! You are so deserving of all your accolades! Followed your career since The Morning After! I've had a continuing dream I'm going through record bins and finding albums you've released that I never knew you did! After I wake up sweating I play my current favorite song, right now it's I Thought You Might Like to Know! "You're the one who sets my heart aglow.."
Keep up all the great work, looking forward to all new recordings and appearances!!!

Hi. I've seen you on PBS several times, I have your "State of the Heart" CD, and am always astounded at your range, perfect pitch and rhythm and the fact that every single syllable is perfectly clear, no matter how fast the lyrics are. I am a church music director and organist/pianist http://wpcfl.org Is there a publisher for the sheet music for "On My Way To You" and "Why Can't I Forget Him?" and others where I could purchase those songs?? Those two in particular REALLY touched me. We are blessed with a soloist who, while not as incredible or experienced as you are, has a wonderful voice and spirit (she is an operatic mezzo, about to leave for Spain to sing Carmen for two or three months) and I would really like to have those for her to sing the next time we have a church talent night and she's back from tour. And the change from operatic to the kind of beautiful, soul-touching music you sing is something she enjoys and does very well. Thank you so much for all of the hearts you have touched and the souls, including mine, that you have helped heal with all your wonderful music. You are a treasure and I hope you can keep at it for many more years, even though what you do takes such tremendous energy and can be so draining. God Bless.

Maureen, a belated happy birthday to you. I have been a fan as long as there HAS been Maureen McGovern. Although I love everything you have sung, my favorite has to be "Can You Read My Mind." No one, and I repeat "No One" I have ever heard sing it, sings it like you. It's glorious! Thanks for all your generosity, and for all that you do! You ARE a musical treasure (from one musician to another).
Sincerely,

I just found the song that I remember from my childhood that links me to my mother passing away. "The Morning After" my mother died in the 70's I was 8 and she died during the night I remember hearing that song the next morning...so glad I found it...although it is sad to listen to it ties me to my mother that I miss very much.

Dear Maureen, What a superb performance last night at The Colonial Theatre in Pittsfield, MA. You were in superb voice; you sang with respect to the songs and composers and interjected humor as appropriate. Having seen you at Rainbow & Stars, The 92nd Street Y, with Garrison Keeler's American Radio Co. program, when we lived in NY in the early 90's and again at The Macomb Center for the Performing Arts when we were in MI in the mid 90's, I realized that it has been 14 years since I have seen you perform live. You have lost nothing over the years of your instrument. Keep up the good work. Happy "61st" Birthday on Tuesday. It was a treat to finally meet you. With much love and respect. Bill

You have been my favorite singer for YEARS! (Sorry!) I have seen you perform every time you've visited Baltimore. I have most of your CD's. My favorite is the Gershwin CD; I would love it if you made another Cd with more Gershwin music.
I already bought tickets for the Xmas concert for Dec.
Oh God- i sound like some teenybopper fan; in fact I'm 57 years old. I play piano and sing professionally, but only in the Md. area for parties, senior centers, etc.
Anyway- you're the best!! Can't wait to see you at the Meyerhoff Symphony Hall!! Take care.

The Music Never Ends commands just about all of what I listen to while at work. Each cut is an exquisitely emotional performance that perfectly captures the intent of the lyrics of each Bergman composition. Maureen is a superb musician whose vocal capabilities set her completely free to make extremely powerful music from the heart. I will always be a McGovern listener.

my " box" of life... i'm 51 my music keeps me alive as I'm sure you can only too well understand... I suppose if I had a dream to be fulfilled it would be to sing with you.. or train with you... well one never knows what this wonderful world brings to each other... with loving outreach and with the hours of training that your vocals have allotted, i do thank you...

Dear Ms. McGovern, The first song of yours that I remember hearing is "Can You Read My Mind," the love theme from Superman. I will always associate you with that beautiful song, although you've recorded many others. Recently, I've sort of "rediscovered" your music online. I love the album "State of the Heart" and I was wondering if there was a radio single released from that album, and if, by chance, there was a music video filmed for it.

Daar Ms. McGovern, I attended the 2009 Yuletide Celebration and enjoyed it immensely. As you know, we live in a time where the true meaning of Christmas is being downplayed or snuffed out completely in the public arena. I appreciated the way you held on to your convictions by singing "Mary Did You Know?" It truly is a beautiful song that helps us all reflect on the reality of the person of Jesus. You did a beautiful job singing the song too! Best wishes for a wonderful 2010 and may God reward you for honoring Him. Sincerely, rebecca colucci
