FAMOUS CANADIANS:
ANNE MURRAY When the 2010 Olympic Ceremony in Vancouver featured famous Canadians in the opening ceremony, Anne Murray was one of them. She’s been called Canada’s “Songbird” for many years. • Morna Anne Murray was born in 1945, the fourth child and only daughter to James and Marion Murray. She grew up with five brothers in Springhill, Nova Scotia. Anne was a tomboy and in her own words, “the reason I became a successful singer was that, as a kid, I could never do anything as well as my brothers. I wanted to do something better than they did.” She started singing as a child, took voice lessons as a teen, and hasn’t stopped singing! • Murray’s 40+ year career has garnered her 20 number one hits. She has sold more than 54 million albums. • Murray’s first paid music job was while she was studying at the University of New Brunswick. She was hired to sing at the Curling Club at Fredericton. This may not sound great, but curling is a very popular sport in Canada! It was a good assignment. • When the snow flies and winter sets in for the northern U.S. and Canada many people become snowbirds and head south. Since “Snowbird” was her first big hit, Murray’s fans are often called snowbirds too. It was the second song ever written by Canadian songwriter Gene MacLellan and took Murray to the spotlight internationally. “Snowbird” sold a million copies in 1970 and for the first time in history, an American gold record was awarded to a solo Canadian female. • When Murray became a regular on the “Glenn Campbell Goodtime Hour,” which was a hit show at the time, the American audience fell in love with her even more.
