"The Morning After" from The Poseidon Adventure was probably her best known hit...
and "We May Never Love Like This Again" from The Towering Inferno...
followed by "Can You Read My Mind" from Superman.
When I was a kid, my Dad had her 1974 album Nice To Be Around.
Here's her song "Love Knots" from that album...
And "Everybody Wants To Call You Sweetheart"...
Both of these songs are incredibly mid 70s in their stylings. I was a toddler in the mid 1970s, so that's probably why I liked these songs growing up. Today, they kind of make me cringe.
In the late 70s, she recorded the theme song "Different Worlds" for the sitcom Angie, which starred Robert Hays and Donna Pescow. I'm proud to admit that I used to watch that show. It was about a waitress who marries a millionaire.
Speaking of Robert Hays, he was one of the stars of Airplane!, one of my favorite movies. Maureen McGovern made an appearance on that film, too, as Sister Angelina, the nun who slaps the shit out of a hysterical woman.

Maureen McGovern has an official Web site, which dubs her "The Stradivarius Voice". She has nice chops, but I'm not sure I'd go so far as to compare her voice to that of a famous violin. It looks like she's still around, though, and still singing.
