"One of New Zealand's best-known and most beloved musicians, Margaret Urlich, has died after a two-and-a-half-year struggle with cancer.
She began her career as a co-lead vocalist with the New Zealand new wave band Peking Man, whose 1985 song Room That Echoes climbed to number one in the NZ charts.
She subsequently joined the all-girl group When The Cat's Away in 1986, which won Best Group at the Aotearoa Music Awards, and had another number one hit with a rendition of Melting Pot in 1988.
After launching a solo career, she was responsible for hits such as Escaping and Boy in the Moon in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
In 2021, she was inducted into the New Zealand Music Hall of Fame."
