Ms. McGovern first made history thirty years ago with the number one hit and Oscar winning gold record "The Morning After." Later this month, her CD "The Music Never Ends: The Lyrics of Alan & Marilyn Bergman" will be reissued by Fynsworth Alley, featuring three newly recorded bonus tracks. "Works of Heart," a new CD of songs of hope and healing for the mind, body and spirit will benefit "The Works of Heart Project for Music and Healing," which Maureen recently founded, and American Music Therapy Association, for which she is an artist spokesperson.

In addition to her chart-topping recording history, Ms. McGovern is best known for her celebrated renditions of the songs of George and Ira Gershwin, which brought her center stage at the Emmy Award winning PBS/CBS special, "Celebrating Gershwin," as well as to the London Palladium for the George Gershwin Centennial Celebration and her solo engagement at Carnegie Hall. Ms. McGovern went on to perform in the Centennial Celebrations of Irving Berlin, Oscar Hammerstein and Cole Porter, as well as extensive tours with Mel Torme, the Duke Ellington Orchestra and John Pizzarelli. Her list of credits spans recordings, concerts, Broadway, films, television and radio. Ms. McGovern recently starred opposite Ben Affleck in the Dreamworks animated classic Joseph, made her dramatic debut as Eleanor of Aquitaine in The Lion in Winter and originated the role of Eleanor Bridges in Letters from Nam. Another recent highlight was spending last summer at the Sundance Institute portraying the Countess Aurelia in a new version of the Jerry Herman musical "Dear World."
