The singer, who earned a Drama Desk Award for her role in the Broadway musical Little Women, is celebrated for the songs Can You Read My Mind from Superman, the Oscar-winning We May Never Love Like This Again from The Towering Inferno, and Different Worlds from the television series Angie. The New York Times called McGovern’s A Long and Winding Road album “a captivating musical scrapbook from the 1960’s to the early ’70s.”
