It's so delightful to see the younger generations finding so many amazing artists from "our" generation... I've still got one boom box that still works to play my collection of cassette tapes...to include Anne Murray!

[@DonnaWenker]

I still have her cd that I bought years ago.. Such a beautifully angelic voice and heart felt lyrics.

[@FullyHis1]

Beautiful response to a lovely, meaningful piece.

[@lilamuzik3385]

OMG, it's about TIME we begin looking at this fabulous singer.

[@jeannieschmidt2217]

Nick - you just made my heart SO happy. Anne is one of our Canadian treasures - with 50 years worth of amazing music to discover. This song is one of my top five favourites - EVER. I can still sing every word of it. Snowbird, Danny's Song (Kenny Loggins cover), If I Ever Fall In Love Again (duet with Kenny Rogers), and You Won't See Me are some of her most popular - and ALL worth a listen. Her duet with Kenny is AMAZING. Enjoy the ride. Cheers from Ontario, Canada! :)

[@kimkat24]

She doesn't get enough recognition. Her voice is amazing.

[@thomastimlin1724]

Canadian Treasure? Hell she's a world treasure...from your neighbor in Michigan, I also like Time Don't Run Out on Me

[@threekidzmom04]

❤❤

[@BuddyAkin478]

I forgot how stunning her voice is. I've always thought she shared a vocal kinship with Karen Carpenter, in the best way. Anyone else feel that?

[@jeannieschmidt2217]

@@BuddyAkin478 I agree with that.

[@chrispavlich9656]

Can I Have This Dance For The Rest Of My Life. Was one of our wedding songs back in the day❣️

[@visaman]

I proposed to my fiance to that song sung by Mollie B on a cruise ship. She said yes.❤

[@darleendionne6403]

Mine too!

[@JoanBelo-h5y]

This 👆

[@paullanoue5228]

Ann Murray was one of Elvis’ favorite singers.

[@williamthomas7509]

She is one of the all-time greats. It always amazes me that despite her incredible catalog many born after 1990 have never heard of her.

[@deborahwolz1628]

Growing up, she was one of my favorite female singers, along with Helen Reddy, Joni Mitchell, Diana Ross and Aretha Franklin.... thanks for this!

[@YachtMaestro]

The entire purpose of music is to raise an emotional response, whether it be anger, sadness, love, etc. Don't be surprised. Some singers are just better at it than others.

[@boxerbguy]

where are the voices like this today

[@Quincysof]

Absolutely???

[@chrispavlich9656]

Too busy screeching out “music.”😱

[@johnbattles1002]

Except for a few, they’re mostly in cemeteries 😢.

[@janettetippetts7942]

Anne Murray - such a beautiful and clear voiced talent! You also need to listen to her singing 'Snowbird' and 'I Just Fall In Love Again'. Fabulous talent.

[@6916dog]

Danny's Song, Can I Have This Dance, Love Song, A Little Good News. So many great songs ❤❤❤

[@rayfaircloth8253]

Anne Murray had 54 charting singles on the Billboard Country charts, including 10 #1 hits in her career spanning over 20 years. This song reached #4 on the charts. This song didn't make it to #1 on the country chart, stalling at #4, but did make it to #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 pop chart in July 1978. She was considered a cross-over artist as she had 28 songs appear on the Hot 100 pop chart as well.

[@Calmontheoutside]

I can see my mom singing “spread your tiny wings and fly away” (Snowbird) as soon as I see or hear the name Anne Murray.

[@janetf23]

She does a pretty nice job on Kenny Loggins' "Danny's Song" too, among many others, like "Snowbird".

[@6916dog]

Love Song is my favorite ❤❤❤

[@jillrose8921]

Thank you Nick, always loved Anne's beautiful harmonious voice. What a special gift you gave us today!

[@mayLibertyprevail1a]

For some reason, they changed the words in this video for verse two. These are the ACTUAL words: [Verse 2] You held my hand when it was cold When I was lost you took me home You gave me hope when I was at the end And turned my lies back into truth again You even called me friend.

[@robertmarshall4561]

One of Canada's hidden superstars.... like Jann arden, she stayed herself and didn't change to fit the american market

[@sharonthrockmorton26]

I walked down the aisle at my wedding to this song. My husband passed away 4 months ago, and also the first time I’ve listened to it since I lost him. Thank you. 💔😢

[@sparkys2711]

Very sorry for your loss 🙏❤️

[@aletmartins6940]

Hugs.❤

[@Scotsas92637]

It always boggles my mind when someone says they have never heard of an older generation artist. Someone recently told me they had never heard of Ms Judy Garland. Yet, older people tend to know many of the younger generation artists, especially those who have sold a ton of records. Anne Murray is one of those older generation singers who has sold a ton of records. I am from the USA and consider it a privilege to have been able to see her in concert many times. Murray decided to retire before her vocal abilities started to significantly decline. Many singers continue well past the time when they should retire due to declining vocal abilities. Murray is one of the greatest altos to pick up a mic! Thanks for showcasing this great artist, USA.

[@tking747]

Anne Murray was huge not only n Canada but in the USA. I was fortunate to see her live years ago, and her voice live was excellent. Go down the Anne Murray rabbit hole....you will not be disappointed!

[@margueritavankempen850]

This was was husband's favorite song. He passed away in 2011, but he loved Ann especially this song... thanks for doing this. I appreciate this so much❤❤❤

[@JamesJohnson-ig6of]

"I JUST FALL IN LOVE AGAIN"; "BROKEN HEARTED ME"; "SNOWBIRD". THANX!! From MN.

[@jmrob1107]

This beautiful song stirs the emotions even for someone like me who has heard it hundreds of times.

[@melissacaddell2604]

I love her voice. So comforting and welcoming. More please!!

[@analisesantos1571]

A one of a kind voice. So perfectly pure and steady. Loved listening to her songs while growing up in the 70's. ( and singing along as although not so good LOL). great song!!

[@threekidzmom04]

Have loved her and her music for decades! Thanks Canada for Anne Murray!

[@tamiw.166]

"Snowbird". Boy, this one took me back - thank you, Nick ❤

[@johnthewiz]

Oh that voice. It took me back to my teens secretly listening to her greatest hits among the Depeche Mode and Whitesnake. And I cried hearing it again.

[@MetFan37]

Anne always said she knew this would be a hit because the first time she sang it, she couldn't get thru it without breaking down. It was her signature song, a #1 Pop record and Grammy-winning hit in the fall of 1978. Anne, by the way, was the very first Canadian artist to earn a US Gold record, for her breakthru hit "Snowbird" in 1970, and the very first WOMAN and CANADIAN to win the Country Music Association's Album of the Year in 1984 for her album "A Little Good News".

[@LelandGarrison-s2q]

This is a chilling, beautiful song. Anne's a great singer. Try some of her stuff about ten years before this. SNOWBIRD and DANNY'S SONG.❤

[@irisradinger1632]

When I was young, I went into a record store here in Germany, but had forgotten her name. So I asked the salesperson for a female American singer with a beautiful low voice. He immediately said: This can only be Anne Murray.

[@SBel65]

Except she’s Canadian! From Nova Scotia.

[@samueltabo3390]

I call her the songstress from Nova Scotia! Anne came into the music scene in 1970 with the song Snowbird. She had a great run of hits in the 70s and 80s. You needed me was her biggest hit reaching #1 in 1978 and won a Grammy for best pop female vocal. This song is so inspiring

[@SBel65]

I remember her before that…Don Messer’s Jubilee from Halifax, NS. Her and Murray McGloughan. So young ☺️

[@FavoriteMovieDate]

Anne Murray has one of the finest voices of her era. Love the choice. I was just listening to her greatest hits two days ago! She is impeccable.

[@robincochran7369]

Ah, Anne....Canada's gift to the music world. I remember on Casey Kasam's American Top 40, someone requesting this song as a long-distance dedication for someone close to them that had passed, so I tear up a little when I hear this one. Others to react to are her cover of The Monkees Daydream Believer, Snowbird, Could I Have This Dance, I Just Fall in Love Again, etc. I think of her as a contemporary of Karen Carpenter, both with warm rich vocals. She's well worth your time to react to.

[@Jewgirl369]

WOW! SOOOO uplifting!!! Nick this is AMAZING! THANK YOU FOR THIS!

[@Earcandy73]

I’m glad you’re e heard of Anne now! She has a great voice and still sounds the same! Try “Shadows in the Moonlight”

[@SusanHamer]

Listen to her very first hit, SNOWBIRD. I've been a fan for over 50 years. I first heard her on a trip to Canada about 1971, before she was well known.

[@cathysandy3199]

She is timeless and as a singer myself she makes for great Karaoke tunes! We love her here in Canada! Beautiful woman, beautiful song!

[@teresacartwright5406]

I just love this song Anne Murray has such a warm, amazing voice and so many wonderful songs. Love from a Canadian subscriber.

[@vanessafletcher6710]

I'm a 10 yr old kid again. Seriously what great songwriting back then - understatement

[@frndofbear]

I am 59. One of the biggest hits of my life.

[@sandrachagas9832]

Ah sou totalmente apaixonada por essa música e pela Anne Murray, a letra é linda e a música arrepia da cabeça aos pés! Nunca pensei que alguém pudesse reagir a ela, obrigado por essa linda reação e abraços do Brasil!👏👏👏👏👍🇧🇷

[@MetFan37]

Now react to her 1983 smash "A Little Good News", a song still relevant today, even though the specifics in the song are from 1983. You MUST do more of her, she was active for over 40 years, and she retired from recording and performing in 2010. So many people under the age of 30 are unaware of this fantastically gifted singer.

[@NOUNZYKRANZA]

Anne Murray. Best female vocalist ever. Bar none.

[@gerby17]

It's unfortunate how we don't have music like this anymore that actually makes you feel emotion.

[@tuffymoon3702]

Beautiful reaction to a great talent! If you want to see how some things never change, listen to A Little Good News.

[@kimtroock4916]

A Canadian treasure, saw her live many time.🇨🇦❤️🇨🇦

[@davidlionheart2438]

"Snowbird" and "Broken Hearted Me"!!!!

[@murielsmith7540]

Anne Murray is one of the very best. I got to see her in concert about 3 times.

[@betmo]

i adore anne murray ❤ i grew up with her...snowbird is another great song

[@GrandmaShirley-op4jm]

You mentioned being needed is such a blessing. That is so true. My husband is disabled with permanent vertigo, he was the strong guy, general contractor, hunter, fisherman, eagle scout, provider. Suddenly he couldn't get out of bed and I had to spoon-feed him. I was a caregiver when he was struck with this. That seems to be my calling. I am now retired and caring for both of us. The weight sometimes gets very heavy on my shoulders, then I remember the blessing. I cared for my sister who had dementia, was there till the end, then for two ladies with autism. , then retired and moved my mom in with us till she passed, have taken turns caring for my mother in law, a long with my husband. The weight is hard, but I am so blessed to be needed and to be there for others as they transition into the next life. I needed this too. ❤ Snowbird is easily my favorite. Such a beautiful soul and voice. Peace out man ✌️❤

[@robolafler]

Canadian singer . I saw Anne in concert in Miami, FL a few years ago. Sold out venue. People dancing in the aisles to her songs that brought back sweet memories for them.

[@mariaarcher5280]

Love her always have she has alot more

[@Nana_Reads]

Her voice is amazing this is a hard song to sing

[@DollyMiddleton-ke1yp]

Forever music!

[@johnbattles1002]

I grew up in that era, and remember Anne’s voice coming over the radio many mornings singing her (arguably) most famous “Snowbird” song as I would be getting ready for school. I would easily put her right up there beside Karen Carpenter, Judith Durham, Linda Ronstadt, Petula Clark, and a few others! Top tier talent! Please react to more of her, especially Snowbird!

[@lauralackner6856]

My goodness Nick! This song really brought back some old memories. Anne Murray is a treasure. Check out Snowbird. Great reaction 👏

[@sparklebaby22]

You feel songs so deeply I love that you are not afraid to show your vulnerability. Kudos 🎉❤great reaction, Nick!

[@suzanneporter7907]

Anne Murray was very popular in the 1970's and early 1980's. She had a lot of hits. Her music is very beautiful, and the lyrics have a lot of meaning. I have just about all of her record albums.

[@KideoTime]

I love that having a great voice is what is being focused on. She didn't need over sexualized costumes to sell herself.

[@NativeTexan-fm5dy]

I love Anne Murray. So glad someone recommended her to you. I would recommend her "Broken Hearted Me" and "Just Another Woman in Love" Also "Could I have This Dance" Thanks for reacting.

[@jad8123]

In the 80’s my Dad had this album. It was so weird that he would actually buy an album in general. I decided to listen to it. So with huge headphones handy and playing it on my brother’s stereo (I was the youngest of 5) it struck me how good she was. That’s my Anne Murray story. LOL!!!! I will say that now that at age 60 I hadn’t heard her in 30 years. Beautiful voice.

[@sallymorehouse3179]

One of my favorite singers from the 60s, 70s and 80s! More Anne Murray please!

[@donnamyden1348]

Another Canadian artist 🇨🇦

[@beckiramsey9561]

Anne Murray was one of my mother’s favorite artists when I was growing up, so I am pretty familiar with her music! We played the vinyl album all the time!❤❤ Thanks Nick for your reaction!!❤❤

[@momD612]

Ahead always been a favorite of mine. Since childhood. Beautiful, distinctive voice. ❤❤

[@harryjones-haroldine]

Love her ❤️

[@Deeper-i4r]

I still listen to this, on the cd and in my head

[@pippodisco5724]

Was my mothers favorite song for many years. Thank you for letting me get to know the dimensions of her heart again!! ❤

[@robertlaframboise5784]

Check Ann Murray's debut hit called 'Snowbird'

[@safariloverinnc5156]

Beautiful!!!!!❤

[@brianmccleary6278]

I needed that too 👍

[@carmendp6384]

She lives just 3 miles from me. She is famous for recording on first try. She was a pro. She started by singing barefoot.

[@lisarousseau788]

My dad died when I was 9 in 1973 my mom told me years later this was her song to me it's what got her through it now she's gone and it's also my song to her love you mommy

[@nannylyn2186]

Thanks for playing this Nick - means a lot to me - my song for my late husband - you had tears and me too.

[@louannphilpott1342]

You mentioned KD Lang singing barefoot - Anne Murray did this as well.

[@gwendenluck2094]

Another great Canadian singer is Rita McNeil , Flying on your own

[@artangeloymana1625]

Nice Reaction. Thank you. This is being sung in churches and in formal weddings. This song is infinite. Take care.

[@Quincysof]

Im loving Rich's requests. Im so glad he is 1 of your patreon members. Great job Nick! Thanks to Rich too❤❤

[@coco_6125]

It's always a pleasure to come to your site and listen to the songs. Thank you for this great singer today. I love the lyrics, but also the beautiful melody. For me, this is a song of faith.

[@anotheryou218]

One of those special, unique voices that is so pleasurable to hear that once we heard it, we craved more. It didn't hurt that the songs were good too.

[@kimtroock4916]

One of my favourites is the hymn How Great Thou Art.

[@kimstoliker2111]

This was a time when music was clean. Can we ever go back. Doug Stoliker

They obviously have the record over the original soundtrack of the video clip here.

[@Fiona-zp2qt]

"You needed me"

[@JimSteele-ck5vu]

Very Beautiful song

[@tinanichols203]

Thank you Nick. Loved your reaction

[@patrickchappell5821]

Very genuine, moving reaction.

[@jmiltier-pu9dd]

You need to check out "Could I Have This Dance"

[@Newfie-zc7ug]

OH CANADA !

[@patriciaemeigh4370]

Such beautiful lyrics. Too bad so much of todays music has so little meaning. Anne has a voice you could listen to all day.

[@tcat6133]

Great reactions today, Nick of powerful ladies singing powerful words…simple yet meaningful and deep and now timeless 🩷

[@ea1615]

Just found your channel. I love your heart Nick. Can you please have a look at Lindisfarne, Cant do right for doing Wrong.

[@Marilyn-q2z9r]

Wow! It’s nice to see someone react to her. I hadn’t heard this song in so long. Thanks Nick!
