‘A Long and Winding Road’ is a lovely trip
The self-proclaimed “disaster-theme queen” Maureen McGovern was inspired by a recent trip to the emergency room to take a look back at the first six decades of her life. The rollercoaster ride of the singer-songwriter includes her first professional gig at the Brown Derby in Warren, Ohio, and a stint as an executive secretary despite two Academy Award-winning gold records to her credit.
