The singer who gave us 'The Morning After' built a career on interpreting songs with clarity and warmth.
For a quick sense of her, listen to 'The Morning After' for that clear, hopeful voice, then something like 'Ordinary Miracles' to hear how she settled into a more reflective, intimate style later on.
She's the voice behind 'The Morning After,' the Oscar-winning theme from The Poseidon Adventure that became a number one hit in 1973. That song opened doors, but her catalog shows a singer who kept exploring material, from Broadway to standards like 'How Do You Keep the Music Playing?' She never chased trends, just found good songs and sang them plainly.
She came up through a Broadway workshop for Breakfast at Tiffany's in 1972, where her take on 'Moon River' got her a record deal. The film theme hit came next, and she's spent decades since working in theater, concerts, and recordings, often focusing on the Great American Songbook.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
