Anne Murray
Performance Center, Cambridge, Massachusetts, 1975

Dubbed the "Canadian Songbird," Murray is a physical education teacher turned performer from Nova Scotia. Her easy listening sound with a bit of folk music thrown in competed with the raw "Outlaw" sounds of Willie Nelson and Waylon Jennings for radio airplay throughout the 1970s and 1980s. Her first hit, "Songbird," went gold in 1970, climbing to the top of the pop and country charts. From there, Murray alternated between Las Vegas and Nashville in style, with dozens of hits throughout the 1970s and 1980s, including the movie soundtrack "Could I Have this Dance?" from 1980's Urban Cowboy and 1984's "Nobody Loves Me Like You Do," a duet with Dave Loggins.
