1965

Margaret Mary Urlich (24 January 1965 – 22 August 2022 ) was a New Zealand singer who lived in Australia for most of her career.

1984

Peking Man won the 1984 ''Shazam!

1985

Battle of The Bands'' (a TVNZ pop show) and had a number of hit songs in New Zealand, including "Good Luck to You" (No. 6), "Lift Your Head Up High" (No. 21) and 1985's "Room That Echoes" (No. 1).

Urlich was later a member of an all-girl pop group in New Zealand called When the Cat's Away.

1988

Urlich moved to Australia in 1988.

1989

Urlich's 1989 debut solo album, Safety in Numbers, won "Breakthrough Artist – Album" at the 1991 ARIA Awards.

She recorded her debut solo studio album, Safety in Numbers, at Studios 301 in Sydney and released it in New Zealand in 1989 and Australia in March 1990.

The album peaked at No. 4 on the New Zealand album charts in December 1989 and No. 5 on the Australian album charts in December 1990 and went triple platinum in Australia.

1990

In 1990, Urlich, then little known outside New Zealand, provided backing vocals on a track for Australian artist Daryl Braithwaite on his second solo album, Rise, which was released in November 1990.

The song she featured in was the Rickie Lee Jones ballad "The Horses", which was a No. 1 hit for Braithwaite.

The video clip featured Braithwaite singing on a beach, with a model (riding a horse), lip-syncing Urlich's voice.

Urlich chose not to appear in Braithwaite's film clip as she had just released Safety in Numbers and was working to establish herself as a solo artist.

1991

Urlich won an ARIA Award in 1991 for "Best Breakthrough Artist".

In March 1991, Urlich, armed with a half-million-dollar recording budget, returned to the studio to commence pre-production for her second album, Chameleon Dreams, with English writer/producer Robyn Smith, the man behind her highly successful debut.

By mid-year, Urlich and Smith had entered Studios 301 to record their two songs, plus a third track written by Smith and Barry Blue.

The same team had been responsible for two of the tracks on Safety in Numbers ("Escaping" and "Guilty People") and their latest offering, "Boy in the Moon", proved pivotal to the sound of the new album.

Other tracks were collected by travelling around the world.

Urlich went to London to co-write with writers such as Rob Fisher, with whom she wrote the album's title track, "Chameleon Dreams".

She then went on to Los Angeles, where she met with Grammy Award-winning writer/producer Ian Prince, with whom she wrote two songs for the album and he produced four tracks.

She returned to London, where she co-wrote a number of songs with Simon Law and Tony Swain, before completing the project with three tracks produced by Swain.

1992

Its 1992 follow-up, Chameleon Dreams, was also a success.

Urlich was successful in both New Zealand and Australia, selling over 400,000 albums during her career, ranking her as one of New Zealand's most successful recording artists.

She was the cousin of fellow New Zealand singer Peter Urlich.

Urlich began her career as lead vocalist for the new wave band Peking Man with her brother Pat, Tim Calder, Perry Marshall, Jan Foulkes, Neville Hall, John Fearon and Jay F-bula.

The success of Chameleon Dreams earned Urlich the "Best Selling New Zealand Artist of the Year" award at the 1992 World Music Awards in Monte Carlo.

She attended the awards ceremony and performed "Love Train".

1993

In 1993, Urlich was part of Export Music Australia (EMA) and Austrade's second Wizards of Oz promotion.

She toured Japan with fellow singer Rick Price and the group Yothu Yindi.

1994

Urlich and Dale Barlow recorded a version of "I've Got You Under My Skin" for Kate Ceberano's 1994 album Kate Ceberano and Friends.

She spent much of 1994 living back in New Zealand and appeared as Mary Magdalene in a major concert production of Andrew Lloyd Webber's rock opera Jesus Christ Superstar.

Urlich released a version of "I Don't Know How to Love Him" that reached No. 44 on the New Zealand singles charts.

For her third studio album, The Deepest Blue, Urlich returned to her long-standing partnership with British writer/producer Robyn Smith.

She and Smith co-wrote all but two of the tracks on the album.

1995

The Deepest Blue was released in August 1995 but failed to have the same impact as her previous two albums, reaching No. 18 on the New Zealand charts and No. 17 on the Australian charts.

1998

In 1998, her contract with Sony Music having expired, she moved to the Southern Highlands of New South Wales where she set up home and a new recording studio with her partner.

Here she produced her fourth album, Second Nature, a recording project produced by Eddie Rayner from Split Enz that was recorded on and off over 12 months and involved musicians from Australia and New Zealand.

The album comprised cover versions of some of Urlich's favourite New Zealand songs that she grew up with.

These included songs from artists such as Split Enz, Crowded House, Dave Dobbyn, Max Merritt, Shona Laing, Don McGlashan and Tim Finn.

1999

The album was released in New Zealand in 1999 and reached No. 11 on the charts, achieving platinum status.

This was her final studio album.
