Song #394: "Can You Read My Mind"--Maureen McGovern (1978)

This is the first of multiple appearances from, honestly, one of the best female singers of her generation, who, unfortunately, is only known to most people as "the lady who sang all the disaster songs".

There were just two, really, from Irwin Allen films, and we may discuss them at another point (hint, hint), but this song, connected obviously to the 1978 release of "Superman", ended up not making the soundtrack, though it does appear on a 2000 two-disc set. As you see below, the single made the connection.

McGovern went on to have a career on Broadway and other musical theater, recording more albums, especially in the 1990's. You may have seen her a time or two performing on Labor Day on the former Jerry Lewis Labor Day Telethon.

This song sends shivers for me, wonderfully done. And we'll get more from Maureen as the countdown continues.
