Maureen McGovern

Maureen McGovern's voice is, to me, the sound of the 1970s disaster-movie era at its most heartfelt. From Youngstown, Ohio, she became the face of those sweeping films through The Morning After and the theme from The Towering Inferno, and she topped the adult contemporary charts with Different Worlds. What I value is that she never let the material drag her singing into kitsch; she brought genuine craft and poise to every song. Her later move onto the Broadway stage confirmed she was a serious artist, not a one-hit novelty. I look at her career with real respect for that consistency.
