Background notes
Archive material and source history
Marilyn Martin came up in New York City in the 1980s. She studied opera at Juilliard, which gave her a classical foundation, but she moved toward pop music. Her debut album 'Marilyn' came out in 1985, and its lead single 'Sorcerer' became a hit. The song had an ethereal quality that caught people's attention.
Her approach, mixing classical training with pop, wasn't always welcomed by traditionalists. She kept at it anyway, releasing albums like 'This Is My Life' in 1986 and 'From the Heart' in 1991. Other songs from that period include 'Night Moves' and 'Possessive Love'.
She worked with musicians like guitarist Michael Landau and keyboardist Randy Waldman. The music from those albums has a particular sound, polished, with her mezzo-soprano voice floating over pop arrangements. It's the work of someone who learned the rules of one world and then decided to play by a slightly different set.
