Born in a New York suburb, songwriter extraordinaire Margo Guryan ironically enough grew up to create one of the most exquisite and appealing, if little heard, one-shot “California” (although actually recorded on the East Coast) soft-pop gems of the kaleidoscopic late ’60s (copies have fetched upwards of 200 dollars on the collector’s circuit), before gradually disappearing from the scene. Despite the brief shelf life of her commercial career, her musical legacy actually proves far-reaching, stretching across various decades and serving several roles, from serious composer to reluctant performer to songwriter-for-hire and producer to teacher. Her single released album also resonated throughout the pop underground of the 1990s and beyond, serving as a primary inspiration for bands and artists like Wondermints and Linus of Hollywood.

Margo Guryan began her musical path as a child, taking up the study of piano in the first grade and continuing through high school and into Boston University, where she studied classical music even though she was attracted to certain kinds of pop music, particularly jazz, which she had fallen in love with in high school. Never a fan of performing, Guryan switched from her piano curriculum, for which she would have had to complete a senior recital, to composition in her sophomore year at Boston. Her pop and jazz compositions began garnering immediate attention. Chris Connor became the first artist to record one of her songs, “Moon Ride,” which he released on Atlantic Records in 1957.
