I saw Maureen yesterday at the Palm Springs Follies and she was amazing as always. She was nice enough to stay after the show outside the theater to chat with people and sign autographs. She is really a very sweet lady. 62 years old and still going strong !!!

Saw Maureen July 2011 at a private home concert in Columbus, OH; surprised my wife; sat 6 feet in front of her; absolutely amazing. She's preparing for a new NY gig and CD. Don't miss the opportunity if you ever get it. Definitely one of the greatest voices on the planet and capable of doing anything. Thanks, Jazz Bungalow, for making Maureen available to her hometown audience.

Very nice video compilation of an iconic American singer. Maureen is a classy wonderfully talented singer and entertainer. The mold was broken when she was made.

The Stradivarius Voice herself. America's precious jewel. That gal can sing and we are so pleased that she keeps on keeping on. Her voice is as powerful as it was thirty some years ago. I love her.
