Ben Margulies

Ben Margulies

Ben Margulies is a songwriter and record producer. Together, he and Mariah Carey lobbied record companies with their infamous 5 song demo tape with songs they had co-written and co-produced until Mariah got signed to Sony in 1988.Margulies had first met Carey while she was cutting demos of songs she had written with Gavin Christopher. Mariah's brother, Morgan Carey, asked his friend Chris Toland (Margulies' then writing partner) to work on the demo sessions. Toland was not available, so he referred Margulies to help out. Carey and Margulies kept in touch, and eventually got together to write songs, the first of them being the unreleased "Here We Go Round Again".

While the songs Carey and Margulies had written were allowed to be used on Mariah's debut album, the self titled "Mariah Carey", they were not allowed to produce songs for the most part on the album (Sony did let Carey and Margulies produce one song each).

In 1983, Ben Margulies worked as a drummer, he joined the New York power trio Comateens, when they were looking for a drummer who could tour with them in support of their Virgin records "Pictures on a String" album, which had just made the charts. Ben went on to tour with Nicholas North, Lyn Byrd and Oliver North through Switzerland and France, and made an appearance in their music video "Get Off My Case" which had garnered a "Top Album Pick" in Billboard magazine.
