Canadian singer Anne Murray has won a slew of awards in her 40-year career, including four Grammys and 24 Junos. At home in pop, country, and adult-contemporary, Murray has sold tens of millions of records and was the first solo Canadian female singer to reach No. 1 in the US.
• Murray began taking voice lessons at 15 and performed regularly while she was a student at the University of Brunswick in the mid-’60s. She landed a position as a singer on the Canadian television show Singalong Jubilee in 1967.
• Encouraged by the program’s musical director, Brian Ahern, Murray recorded her first album, 1968’s What About Me, with Ahern producing.
• She signed to Capitol Records for her second album, 1969’s This Way Is My Way, which reached No. 13 in Canada. The single “Snowbird” topped the Canadian country chart—the first of Murray’s 33 No. 1 singles—and made the Top 10 in the US.
• Murray released 14 albums in the 1970s, including a collaboration with Glen Campbell on 1971’s Anne Murray/Glen Campbell, and the 1977 children’s album There’s a Hippo in My Tub. Seven of them reached the Top 10 in Canada, including the chart-toppers Annie in 1972 and Let’s Keep It That Way in 1978.
• Her 1978 single “You Needed Me” reached No. 1 in Canada and the US.
• Her first Grammy came in 1974 for her album Love Song, which won for Best Female Country Vocal Performance. She won Best Female Pop Vocal Performance in 1978 for “You Needed Me.” In 1980 and ’83, Murray won Best Female Country Vocal Performance for her US country chart-toppers “Could I Have This Dance” and “A Little Good News,” respectively.
• Murray’s singles success continued into the ’80s in Canada, with 18 Top 10 country singles. Murray also became a steady presence on the US country chart in the ’80s, with six Top 20 albums (including 1986’s No. 2 LP Something to Talk About) and 14 Top 10 singles.
• She released only five albums in the ’90s, though three of them made the Canadian Country Top 10. Her 1993 album Croonin’ hit the top spot.
• Murray’s 2007 album Duets: Friends & Legends features collaborations with artists like Dusty Springfield, Carole King, Celine Dion, k.d. lang, Shania Twain, and Emmylou Harris. The album reached No. 2 in Canada, and coincided with Murray’s final major tour.
