"[[What About Me (Anne Murray song)|What About Me]]," the lead single and title cut on Murray's debut album, was written by [[Scott McKenzie]] and was a sizable Canadian radio hit. The project covered songs by [[Joni Mitchell]], [[Ken Tobias]], and [[John Denver]]. After a year-long stint on Arc, Murray switched to Capitol Records in 1969 to record her second album, ''[[This Way Is My Way]]'', which was released that fall. It featured the single that launched her career, "[[Snowbird (song)|Snowbird]]", which became a No.&nbsp;1 hit in Canada. "Snowbird" became a surprise hit on the U.S. charts as well, reaching No.&nbsp;8 on the [[Billboard Hot 100|''Billboard'' Hot 100]] in 1970. It was also the first of her eight No.&nbsp;1 Adult Contemporary hits. "Snowbird" was the first Gold record ever given to a Canadian artist in the United States (RIAA certified Gold on November 16, 1970).<ref name="goldandplatinum" /><ref name="Inc.1970">{{cite magazine|title=Snowbird Gold a Canada First|magazine=Billboard|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=tCkEAAAAMBAJ&pg=PT84|date=November 21, 1970|pages=84–|issn=0006-2510}}</ref> As one of the most successful female artists at that time, she became in demand for several television appearances in Canada and the United States, eventually becoming a regular on the hit U.S. television series ''[[The Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour]]''.
