Margot Rae Moir was born in 1959 in Scotland. She was part of The Moir Sisters a pop and folk vocal trio which formed in 1970 with sisters, Jean and Lesley. Their debut single, "Good Morning (How Are You?)" (1974), which featured their distinctive high-pitched harmonies, peaked at #8 on the Kent Music Report Singles Chart. The group released two albums, 'Lost: Somewhere Beyond Harmony' (1974) and 'State of Shock' as The Moirs in 1978). In 1989 Margot Moir (married name: Margot Cesario) released a solo single, "Scarlet Skies" followed by her debut album, 'Strong and Mighty', in 1996. Margot made many contributions to other artists’ recordings as an in-demand backing-vocalist, including being handpicked for the inaugural
Whispering Jack tour by John Farnham himself. She recorded and performed with the bands Raymalane and Celtic Spirit for a period of over 10 years. Margot died on Monday 26 January 2015 aged 56 at Royal Melbourne Hospital due to complications from long term diabetes.
