NEW YORK (AP) Maggie Roche, the folk-rock singer-songwriter who since the mid-1970s had performed and recorded as a trio and in pairs with her two sisters, has died.
Roche died of cancer, according to a statement posted online Saturday by her sister and bandmate Suzzy Roche. She was 65.
Growing up in Park Ridge, New Jersey, eldest sister Maggie formed a duo with middle sister Terre, and while touring, they caught the attention of Paul Simon, who brought them in as backup singers for his hit 1973 album, "There Goes Rhymin' Simon."
______
With "We," the first song of that debut album, they charmingly introduced themselves, with acoustic guitar backup, to the listening world:
"We are Maggie and Terre and Suzzy. /
"Maggie and Terre and Suzzy Roche. /
"We don't give out our ages, and we don't give out our phone numbers. /
"Sometimes our voices give out. But not our ages and our phone numbers. / .
"And as a point of interest, we spell our name R-O-C-H-E."
