8:00 p.m. In The Spotlight: The Music of The Roches

Maggie, Terre and Suzzy Roche were a trio of American folk singers who started modest and stayed modest, never really hitting the big time. The closest they came was when Linda Ronstadt and Phoebe Snow performed Maggie’s composition, The Married Men, on Saturday Night Live. A few months later in 1979 they appeared on Saturday Night Live with Paul Simon’s prodding. Simon himself had used the trio as backup singers on his 1973 album, There Goes Rhymin’ Simon.
