This past July 25 would have been her 96th birthday. It would be a nearly insurmountable challenge to present all aspects of her artistry in a single episode, so today I have chosen to bestow upon her a title which might surprise you: I am crowning her Queen of Crossover. Clearly both Eileen and Eleanor might look askance at such a claim, but among Forrester\u2019s fellow Canadians, I don\u2019t think anyone can challenge Queen Maureen\u2019s title. Central to this episode is a delicious 1982 issue on Canadian RCA entitled <em>The Other Me<\/em>, which features <em>la nostra regina canadese<\/em> in a delectable assortment of pop favorites, ranging from standards from the Great American Songbook (Berlin, Porter, Gershwin, Arlen, Schmidt and Jones, Loesser). In addition, I\u2019ve included a generous sampling of her 1987 recording with pianist John Arpin entitled <em>From Kern to Sondheim: Great American Theatre Songs<\/em>, as well as a smattering of the folk song arrangements (mostly of Canadian material arranged by Canadian composers) which formed such a vital part of her programs. Her fellow <em>grande dame <\/em>of Canadian song, soprano Lois Marshall, even joins her in duet on one of those folk songs. I dedicate today\u2019s episode to the memory of my friend Tom Muraco, who collaborated frequently with Maureen and positively adored her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:47px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-custom-size wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:30px\"><strong> RECORDINGS HEARD IN THIS EPISODE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:55px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"937\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/countermelodypodcast.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Forrester-book-cover-937x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-22077\" style=\"aspect-ratio:0.9150482544977958;width:727px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/countermelodypodcast.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Forrester-book-cover-937x1024.jpg 937w, https:\/\/countermelodypodcast.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Forrester-book-cover-275x300.jpg 275w, https:\/\/countermelodypodcast.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Forrester-book-cover-768x839.jpg 768w, https:\/\/countermelodypodcast.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Forrester-book-cover.jpg 1691w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 937px) 100vw, 937px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jerome Kern, Oscar Hammerstein II: The Song Is You (<em>Music in the Air<\/em>).
