    Who: Margo Guryan
    Album: Take a Picture (1968)
    Track: Sun
    Sound: L.A. - Late 1960's


    Worth a listen for some rare LA pop sounds of the late '60's.

    (and fun to listen to on a cold winter's day)

    Margo Guryan's "Take a Picture" was originally released in 1968 and is now being rediscovered (or in some cases discovered) all over the world.

    Margo Guryan is a rare discovery — a songwriter and arranger with amazing vocal talent who had a brief - but nonetheless significant - impact on pop music. During the highpoint of her career, her songs were recorded by some of pop music’s most important stars: Mama Cass, Bobbie Gentrie and Glen Campbell, Astrud Gilberto, Julie London, Jackie DeShannon, Carmen McCrae, The Lennon Sisters, and Claudine Longet.

    Although she preferred writing songs that others could record and perform, in 1968 Margo recorded and released an album entitled "Take a Picture". The success of this record back then was limited, and it has since become a much sought-after collector’s item, so much so that original pressings of "Take a Picture" have been spotted being sold on e-Bay for as much as $190 each!:)
