Minneapolis Sound Trivia

For Minneapolis Sound News 



Q: Who is Margaret Cox?

A: Margaret Cox was an instrumental force in the wave of mid-80s music which impacted the Minneapolis sound. You may know this Moroccan-born blonde, brassy power-vocalist as Ta Mara. She fronted the group Ta Mara and the Seen, and busted through the Top 40 charts with the unforgettable dance anthem “Everybody Dance.”  This eponymous 1986 debut album was produced by Jesse Johnson, former guitarist of The Time. “Affection” was the infectious follow-up single.


Her 1988 sophomore effort, “Blueberry Gossip," was met with critical acclaim, although it failed to make the same chart impact of the first album.

If you have the LP or CD version, it is a much sought after collectors item, so hold on to it.
