Anne Murray, victim of malicious gossip for years.

She looks like Judi Dench.

Her voice was so beautiful and smooth.

Yes it was R2. She was the Canuc Karen Carpenter.

Dusty Springfield scratched her husband's face after Anne invited Dusty up to their hotel room.

I love this Anne Murray song.

A lesbian.

I need to see her tongue before opining.

I can confirm that she is indeed a lesbian.

She was one of my favorites in high school, but I only had an AM radio and the main station (only station?) in town was easy listening.

She was phys-ed teacher prior to her fame as a singer. She was also Elvis Presley’s favourite singer.

One of my all time favorites is Danny’s Song.

My god, my mother looks just like her. Holy jesus.

She never ate MY pussy!

Former PE teacher, lesbian haircut, deeper voice, and a longtime golf enthusiast.

Who are we kidding?

“ Dusty Springfield 'touched something deep inside me'” - that’s a pretty fabulous headline r14

R8, spill it.

OP, I mean do You look gay?

Anne tries to get down with the Spinners wearing a track suit.

I will always believe she recorded this song for a woman.

LMAO R19

I used to know her tour manager. She's straight.

We don't care about her tour manager's sexuality.

I remember gossip, but it was never malicious. Anne Murray was liked by just about everyone I knew - my boss, my mother, my grandmother, most of my friends, even a rough telephone co guy who used to be in the military who lived in my building in the 1970s - lesbian gossip or not.

Anne Murray, Karen Carpenter, and KdLang always had the smoothest voices, pure. The difference was that Kd and Anne could get their emotions behind it; Karen had little emotion but beautiful pitch.

SCTVs take on Anne.

she lapped my ladyham!

OMG I'm an Anne Murray fan and that clip was hilarious. Could Andrea Martin spread her legs any wider? Love those Canadians!

She had a minor disco hit with Dutch Boy Fingers in '76.

My partner and I saw Anne Murray in concert just before she retired from performing. She was absolutely wonderful, her voice was beautiful, and she was very warm and gracious.

All these rumors about her all these years--isn't she just Swedish??

I once saw Helen Reddy in concert. She said, "People are always confusing me with Anne Murray," and confessed that she even signed Anne's name to an autograph because the fan requesting the autograph mistook her for Anne. I then saw Anne Murray in concert, who said, "People are always confusing me with Helen Reddy. Just don't ask me to sing I Am Woman. I hate that song." I love 'em both.

R31 She's Lebanese.

As a Canadian, I will always have great respect for Anne Murray. She became a face of Canada to the world with her music.

But on a personal level, she means a lot to me. When I was a child, my mom used to play her records. That's when I became a fan. I loved listening to those records with my mom. When I was five, my mom wrote to Anne Murray and received back two personally autographed photos of Anne and my mom gave them to me and my sister. When I was six, my mother was hospitalized for life due to a brain aneurysm and a massive stroke which paralyzed her. It was very difficult for myself and my family, but listening to Anne Murray always brought good memories.

Fast forward years later, my two male friends got married. I wanted to give them something unique and special in addition to my wedding gift. So I remembered what my mother did when I was five and wrote Anne Murray and requested an autographed picture to give to them. Not only that, she wrote their names and wished them a happy marriage.

Anne Murray is a true class act.

Did you write Anne about your mother?

No, I was very young when it happened. Actually I never thought to until you asked r35.

Susan Dey has said nothing about Anne Murray’s turtle tail.

I remember Carole Pope, who was Dusty Springfield’s lover, telling Anne Murray to wake up and smell the coffee on an awards show when I was a kid. It was only years later that I put two and two together.

Put what together r38?

That the best part of waking up is Folgers in your cup, Rose.

The Flavah!

[quote]She looks like Judi Dench.

Yeah, Judi in the movie Red Joan.

[quote] does she LOOK like a Lesbian??

lil bit

"Blame Canada!

Blame Canada!

All their hockey hullabaloo!

And that bitch Anne Murray, too!"

Stewie's a fan

Lezzzzzzzz

[quote] remember Carole Pope, who was Dusty Springfield’s lover

Carole has sampled every punani in the provinces.

You know her Snowbird touched other birds before it flew away. 🕊️

She looks good for 74. Back in the day she had a large lesbian following - she said that she didn't understand it but that they were great for an audience.

[Quote] she had a large lesbian following

At close quarters? Rosie, I can imagine.

I always thought that this was one of the most hideous album covers ever - that outfit she's wearing!!

Classic lesbian look. Don't know if she is or isn't but the lesbians flocked to her.

Anne Murray was the first Canadian female to receive a gold record for a hit single, courtesy of Snowbird.

John Lennon told Anne Murray that this was his favorite cover of a Beatles song.

Wow, she’s really aged since that last episode of Schitt’s Creek, or those make-up artists were miracle workers.

She's not a lesbian. I know her and have performed with her numerous times.

–performed *concerts* with her, that is.

Anne would physically punish her students, slapping them across the face, etc.

She admitted it in an interview back in the '80s. If it ever surfaced, Trudeau would have her run out of Canada on an Iditarod.

Did she take a lover after her divorce?

1970

Like Olivia Newton-John, she's a closeted dyke with a talentless daughter who has an eating disorder:

I've also performed with her and know lots of people who know her. Anne is not a lesbian. She doesn't really care if you think so. She's not particularly dynamic or funny. But lowkey, she has a great sense of humour and had a few interesting affairs with well known MEN. Anne is not closeted, because she's not GAY.

Here is the good & fine Anne Murray giving the Juno Lifetime Achievement Award to the GREAT KD Lang. KD does not neglect to recall her crush on Anne. It's a nice tribute too, with Leonard Cohen and Shania, Jane Siberry, Tony Bennett.

(Anyone who thinks that Anne Murray is a superior vocalist to kd Lang or Karen Carpenter doesn't know much about singing.)

Speaking of Anne Murray, sexuality and SCTV, check out these very "Juul Halmayer Dancers" with Anne.

Of course she's a lesbian...look at the horrible art on her kitchen wall.

She really stole Melissa Manchester’s career didn’t she?

With the charming, sweet and g o r g e o u s singer, Celine. Lovely.

She is a wonderful person.

lovely R66. Two amazing voices.

Celine's voice is so pure and true, it's nice to hear her singing good material. :-

Anne Murray doing a duet with a real live (now dead) Lesbian, Rita MacNeil.

Anne as a back up singer to Jann Arden who may or may not be a lesbian, depending who you talk to and what day of the week it is.

Jann Arden is 100% kitty puncher.

What made her so irresistible to lesbians?

Sensible shoes.

R70 Jann Arden has stated that she is bisexual.

[post redacted because independent.co.uk thinks that links to their ridiculous rag are a bad thing. Somebody might want to tell them how the internet works. Or not. We don't really care. They do suck though. Our advice is that you should not click on the link and whatever you do, don't read their truly terrible articles.]

Jann Arden also stated that she blew a guy in Yellowknife for a medium coke and large order of onion rings.

Jann's a hoot on Twitter and it wouldn't surprise me if she's a secret DLer.

Anne and KD

Mine too, R11!

That was a very nice video at OP’s link.

She looks great!

Stay well, Miss Murray.

I believe I am witnessing a Canadia version of Dolly Partoning!

One of the delightful things about Anne Murray is that she sings and I don’t think “minge-sous vide” once while she’s doing it.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned the aggressive upper blepheroplasty in OP's pic.

I thought of it r81 and I am surprised as well that it took 80+ comments for it turn up 👀!

She looks good though. Maybe the eyelids were just too heavy. It does look like it's a recent job though and hasn't completely settled.

Anne Murray retired from the public eye about 10 years ago. She was very famous, especially in Canada, but apparently she felt it was time to close the door on that part of her life. She'll be 75 this June so I hope she's enjoying her retirement and privacy. Was active as a singer for a number of years before she burst on the charts with Snowbird.

It’s a beautiful Sunday morning DL, who its going to take some more pokes af Anne?

I love Anne Murray, whether or not she licks labias matters not. Lovely voice.

i enjoy anne's voice, but she is NO karen carpenter... karen had a greater range (4 octaves), thus could go very high as well as her famous lower register and her voice was even MORE pure and smooth then anne's who DID sound "gravelly" in some songs, karen carpenter NEVER EVER sang "gravelly"...

No she couldn't. We've heard Karen's solo album.

Anne, Anita Baker and Norah Jones all have that lovely, languid and totally boring approach to songs.

R89 It's not boring, it's soothing and spellbinding.

R90, so is chloroform

^^^ Isn't that a Paul Simon song?

"Chlor-o-FOR-OR-ORM!

It gives us those nice bright colors,

When we've been out for hours,

Makes you think all the world

Is a druggy hay-ay-AZE!"
