Maureen McGovern Biography

Maureen McGovern was a secretary when she was hired by Russ Regan to sing the theme from the movie The Poseidon Adventure in 1973. It was a 1 hit. The following year, McGovern sang the theme from The Towering Inferno, "We May Never Love like This Again," which was not a hit, though it did win an Academy Award. McGovern went on to other movie themes, then distanced herself from such work, appearing on Broadway in The Pirates of Penzance. She built a reputation as a sophisticated pop singer to the point that she was able to headline at Carnegie Hall by the `90s, singing show music and standards by George Gershwin and other songwriters.

  • The gypsy in my soul is living on the road again, ... When I first started my career, I was on the road for about five or six years straight, not living anywhere. Thirty-three years later, I`ve come full circle.

  • To me, singing is basically a form of prayer. I get this great joy when I`m singing - whatever I`m singing. I missed it when I left it.

  • For years, people kept saying to me, `You have such a big voice, you should go into theater.` I was an extremely shy performer and I had never done any theater, not even a high school play,
