What a wonderful voice. When I was DJing weddings, people would still ask for Could I Have This Dance.

When I came home from school I sometimes would find my mother crying to one of two songs: Anne Murray – You Needed Me or Streisand and Diamond ‘You Don’t Bring Me Flowers’.

Happy Birthday to Anne! 🎉 Like Gordon Lightfoot, she didn’t need to move to the U.S. to attain international stardom. Such a beautiful voice! 💖

Absolutely! I prefer the lower range in women’s voices. Anne Murray has a smooth delicious voice like melted butter.
