50s, 60s, 70s, Nostalgia, Songs

This week under the LET’S REMEMBER theme we salute the following 2 wonderful singers…

Morna Anne Murray born June 20th, 1945 is a retired Canadian singer with albums comprising pop, country, and adult contemporary music have sold over 55 million copies. She was the first Canadian female solo singer to reach # 1 on the U.S. charts and the first to gain a gold record for Snowbird in 1970. She received a Grammy in 1978 for You Needed Me. Anne is often cited as one of the first female Canadian artists who paved the way for other international Canadian artists such as k.d.lang,  Céline Dion, and Shania Twain.

Charles Weedon Westover born December 30th 1934, better known by his stage name Del Shannon, was an American musician, singer and songwriter and was best known for his 1961 #1 hit Runaway. In 1999, he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and, during his career, undertook some minor acting roles. Following his death on February 8th, 1990, the TravellingWilburys honoured him by recording a version of Runaway.
