Margo Guryan

NTS aired an episode dedicated to the music of Margo Guryan on 23 May 2024. Margo Guryan has been played over 90 times on NTS, first on 13 May 2013. Margo Guryan's music has been featured on 70 episodes.

Margo Guryan (born in New York City on 20 September 1937; died 10 November 2021) was an American songwriter, singer, musician and lyricist who is remembered for her 1968 album "Take A Picture".

At the height of her career her songs were recorded by some of pop music’s most important stars: Mama Cass, Bobbie Gentry and Glen Campbell, Astrud Gilberto, Julie London, Jackie DeShannon, Carmen McCrae, The Lennon Sisters, and Claudine Longet. Her first song to be recorded was "Moon Ride" by the jazz singer Chris Connor in 1958, while she was still in high school. Later, there were two hit versions of the Margo Guryan-penned "Sunday Morning" released a year apart in the late 1960s — the first by Spanky And Our Gang, and the second by Oliver (who had previous success with "Good Morning Starshine" and "Jean").

Although she preferred writing songs that others could record and perform, in 1968 Guryan recorded and released an album entitled "Take a Picture". Although the success of this record back then was limited, it has since become a much sought-after collector’s item.

"Take A Picture" was reissued in 2000 by Franklin Castle Records. A collection of demos entitled 27 Demos is also available.
