ADY CRAMPTON CHATS TO THE STARS

Margo Thunder

June 22, 2022

Imagine winning a talent contest, aged 10, that gave you a gig at the world famous Apollo Theatre in Harlem. Then imagine you’re on the same bill as Aretha Franklin and Cissy Houston too!

It wasn’t long before Margaret Fertado aka Margo Thunder was given a three record deal by Capitol Records in LA, which involved travelling (alone) to their LA studios from her hometown in Roxbury, Massachusetts to record, aged just 11

I’ll let Margo take over, have a listen….
