The Mariah Carey Newsgroup Frequently Asked Questions
(for rec.music.artists.mariah-carey)
Issue #030 (27th August 1998)

The maintenance of this FAQ is a non-profit project of Kasoft Typesetting, a
division of Kasoft Software, Australia. The editor and author, Kade "Archer"
Hansson, can be reached by e-mail at kad...@postoffice.utas.edu.au.
Corrections, additions and all forms of feedback are encouraged.

The hypertext version (from which plain text is generated) includes local
links to full lyrics and cover thumbnails, as well as selected articles and
photographs. It is developed using Stuart Brodie's ArcWeb, designed for Acorn
RISC OS.

New readers should read the general section first, and then to browse through
the music, movie, personal information and miscellaneous sections. People
with a strong interest in Mariah Carey may like to browse the fan section, to
find out about fan clubs and collectables. Regular computer users may also be
interested in the technical section.

At the end of the FAQ I give a selected bibliography. I also list some
articles about Mariah and interviews she has done.

See question G3 for recent developments, including the imminent release of
Mariah's first hits compilation "Ones".

GENERAL QUESTIONS

G1. Who is Mariah Carey?

Mariah Carey is the biggest selling female vocalist of the 1990s. Mariah
Carey is unique in having both a breath-taking five-octave vocal range as
well as an amazing talent for writing and producing highly popular songs.
Since her self-titled debut album was released in 1990, she has sold over 90
million albums.

Mariah Carey is often referred to as simply 'Mariah', though some may prefer
Ms Carey over such blatant familarity. Also, fans usually capitalize the
personal pronoun 'her' when discussing Mariah, viz 'Her'. MC is also a common
abbreviation. Mariah has no middle name, and her first name is supposedly
derived from the song 'They Call The Wind Mariah' from the movie 'Paint Your
Wagon' (see S1).

Mariah Carey has been married once, to Sony Music Entertainment President,
Tommy Mottola, but that relationship ended in divorce in March 1998 after
four years of marriage and nine months of separation. She is presently
single.

G2. What kind of articles are posted on the newsgroup?

The newsgroup rec.music.artists.mariah.carey is about Mariah Carey, and that
includes articles about, or at least closely related to, her life and her
music. News bulletins, announcements, questions, opinions, reviews and
discussions all have a place on the group. It is not dedicated to fans alone,
and anyone who is interested in the discussions taking place is encouraged to
participate.

As a general rule, articles should not be crossposted to or from other music
groups. The point of having the rec.music.* hierachy divided into separate
sections is to allow discussions specific topics to take place without
disturbing those who do not have an interest in them. Music is a very broad
topic, and also one where opinions vary greatly and emotions can run high.
Learn to respect others' opinions, and do not force your opinion on others.

People who post deliberately provoking and generally thoughtless articles
should be generally be ignored. If you do feel a reply is necessary, use e-
mail in the first instance. Public follow-ups to such articles should be
avoided. In any instance, do not crosspost replies to any groups other than
those to which the article is directly and indisputably relevant.

G3. What is Mariah's most recent work?

The last single to be released from the album "Butterfly" was a remix single
for My All and, subtitled "Stay Awhile". This was released to the US in June,
and Europe has now followed. Australia will have a new single containing the
remixes in October.

A video clip for "Whenever You Call" will air in the US shortly. Mariah sings
with Jermaine Dupri on "Sweetheart", which will be released to radio and as a
video clip in the coming month, culminating with (US) single release on 29
September.

The movie "00-Soul" (see S2) is to commence filming in October. Mariah's
performance at the "Diva's Live" concert earlier this year is to be released
on CD in the US on 6 October. A compilation of Mariah's Number One US hits,
entitled "Ones", which as a bonus includes "Sweetheart" and a duet with
Whitney Houston, is to be released (in the US) on 10 November.

G4. Can I find lyrics here?

As the FAQ maintainer, I will post new and updated lyrics to the newsgroup as
they become available. I would prefer it if other people did not post their
own copies of Mariah's lyrics here, and request that they ask me to repost
the 'official' versions. The lyrics I post will be cited with a revision
number and date. If you disagree with the lyrics, please feel free to discuss
it with the group and/or bring your disagreement to my attention. Lyrics are
very rarely 100% correct.

The lyric archives are available as links from this page:

G5. What are 'timeline' lyrics?

Special versions of lyrics will sometimes be issued. These lyrics are
labelled with approximate time indexes, and are called 'timeline' lyrics.
Timeline lyrics are produced by the Kasoft* Playtex application, and are
currently unique to the Mariah Carey newsgroup.

Playtex is a video titling application. It facilitates vertical and horzontal
scroll texts, slide shows, and a speedreading display which allows users to
browse through text at 600 words per minute with a high level of
comprehension. Please send e-mail to Kasoft Software at
kad...@postoffice.utas.edu.au for more information about Playtex.

A Java applet called AudioQ will soon be available from the hypertext version
of the FAQ. This will allow the playback of timeline lyrics in real-time.
Experiments are now underway.

The following are available from the FAQ maintainer on request:

TIMELINE- Disc Title (Version) UPC [Country]
Daydream (Australian Version) 481367 2 [61]
Butterfly (Australian Version) 488537 2 [61]
Fantasy (Aust. Original Maxisingle) 662379 2 [61]
Fantasy (Aust. Remixes Maxisingle) 662505 2 [61]
Honey (Australian Original Maxisingle) 664747 2 [61]
Joy To The World (Aust. Maxisingle) 662652 2 [61]

Hansson.

G6. What about pictures and other binaries?

This is not a newsgroup designed for binary traffic (such as images), so you
should never post this material. The correct protocol is to post the binary
file to the alt.binaries.* hierachy and then post a message here notifying
the group of its whereabouts.

G7. Where else on the Internet can I discuss Mariah?

There is an established live chat channel called #Mariah on Undernet IRC
which is dedicated to the discussion of Mariah and her music. Look at the IRC
newsgroups (such as alt.irc.undernet) to find out more about Undernet and
IRC, and how you can connect. Some further information is given in question
T2.

Also, there are four mailing lists you can subscribe to:

Description Name of list Posting address
Mariah Carey's fan list Vision vis...@southwind.net
Mariah Carey news list Vision News visio...@southwind.net
Mariah Carey marketplace list Goddess-Mariah -
Mariah Carey fan stories list Mariah Stories -

(The Vision list is a superset of Vision News, in the sense that articles
sent to Vision News appear on Vision, but articles sent to vision do not
appear on Vision News.)

You can subscribe to either of the Vision groups by sending a message to
majo...@southwind.net with a body containing the line:

subscribe <name-of-list>

To unsubscribe from a Vision group send a message to majo...@southwind.net
with a body containing the line:

unsubscribe <name-of-list>

(Replace <name-of-list> with one of the mailing list names given above.)

Both Vision mailing lists are managed by Ken Sims <ks...@southwind.net>.

To join the marketplace mailing list, send a message to
majo...@lists.io.com with a body containing the line:

subscribe goddess-mariah

Whenever you send to an automated 'majordomo' account, you can leave the
subject line blank. Messages posted to the mailing list you subscribe to will
be sent to your e-mailbox.

To join the Mariah Stories mailing list simply e-mail the list manager at
<kad...@postoffice.utas.edu.au>.

G8. Where can I find some other Internet resources about Mariah?

The FTP site at ftp.mariahc.com has Mariah-related files available for
download, as does the /pub/music/artists/c/mariah.carey directory on
ftp.uwp.edu. My recommendation for a starters Worldwide Web page is the
'Vision Of Love' homepage at

http://www2.southwind.net/~ksims/VOL.html

and this contains some links to other Mariah pages on the Web.

[Other Worldwide Web pages]

These pages are selected by the FAQ maintainer because they are reasonably
contemporaneous and represent a broad cross-section of what is available. E-
mail me if you would like me to review your page for inclusion.

G9. What if my question isn't answered here?

If your question has not been answered by this newsgroup FAQ, please feel
free to ask on the newsgroup. If this fails, feel free to ask me at
kad...@postoffice.utas.edu.au, and I will endeavour to learn the answer for
you.

If you feel any commonly asked question deserves to be listed in this FAQ,
please contact me. It would be nice if you have an answer too, but not
essential.

MUSICAL QUESTIONS

M1. How did Mariah come to be a recording artist?

At just two-and-a-half years of age, Mariah first demonstrated her vocal
talent by singing part of the Italian opera "Rigoletto" while her mother was
practising. After Mariah's parents were divorced in 1973, Mariah's mother
began to give her voice lessons, and in 1976 Mariah made her public debut.

During her teenage years, from about age 14, she sang on demo tapes at
various recording studios around Long Island, New York. Mariah began writing
songs with her friend Ben Margulies at about age 16, and in 1986 cut her
first demo with her brother.

After graduating from high school in 1987, and leaving home to persue her
ambitions, Mariah spent some time as a waitress and hat check girl.
Eventually she got the chance to audition as a concert background vocalist
for Brenda K Starr, and that turned out to be the break she needed. While
attending a recording industry party with Starr in 1988, she was introduced
to CBS Music president Tommy Mottola, and the demo cassette she handed him
was her ticket to a recording contract with the label (see M7).

M2. What songs has Mariah recorded?

MOVIE QUESTIONS

S1. What can you tell me about "Paint Your Wagon"?

This is a musical motion picture released in 1969, first released on video in
1983 by CIC/Arena. It featured the song that Mariah is supposedly named
after, "They Call The Wind Mariah". This was perhaps the most popular song
from the movie, bar "Wand'rin Star" which was sung by Lee Marvin.

The film was directed by Joshua Logan and starred Lee Marvin, Clint Eastwood,
Jean Seberg, Harve Presnell and Ray Walston. It runs for 164 minutes, and is
the "wild west" story of a couple of prospectors who make their way to No
Name City. Rumson (Marvin) meets a travelling Mormon, and buys his wife
(Seberg) at auction for $800. Rumson falls in love with her, but she falls in
love with Pardner (Eastwood).

S2. Will Mariah do movies?

Yes. Mariah has been cast as the step-daughter of the arch-villan in "Double-
0-Soul". The movie is an action comedy starring Chris Tucker. In the movie,
Tucker's character is a bungling secret-agent, suddenly saddled with the age
old task of saving the world after all the top agents are taken out. Filming
will start in October.

For some time now Mariah has also been involved in a project for Disney
studios' Touchstone Pictures. The project does not have a firm title,
although it has the working title "All That Glitters." It is supposedly based
on a concept developed by Mariah about a multi-racial family of the 70's.

Mariah is expected to star and sing in the movie. The story is not meant to
be autobiographical, although it may borrow from some aspects of Mariah's
life and rise to fame.

The screenplay is being written by Cheryl West, music is to be codirected by
Ingo Frenzel, and the production is joint US/German. The Internet Music
Database lists the project as being a musica.

S3. What's the story with the Honey video?

Speculation on a movie role for Mariah began when many fans observed that the
video for Honey is like a mini-movie, and does place Mariah in an acting role
of sorts. This is much apart from her other videos, just as her intention to
move into making movies is unexpected. As recently as two years ago she
laughed in disbelief at the very idea.

Interestingly, the Honey video has more in common with a James Bond story
than simply the broad brush strokes of plot and subtle nuances of extravagant
costumes and tongue-in-cheek acting. The bikini costume which Mariah wears is
almost identical to that worn by Ursula Andress' character, Honey Ryder, in
the first ever James Bond film, "Dr No" (1962).

PERSONAL QUESTIONS

P1. What is Mariah's family like?

Mariah was born of a multicultural parentage, with a European descended
mother (Patricia) and a father (Alfred Roy) of mixed South American and
African-American parentage. Alison and Morgan are Mariah's only siblings, and
are significantly older- by ten years. Both are more inclined to their
father's physical traits, and have a darker skin than Mariah.

Alison is the most outspoken of the two, frequently speaking negatively about
Mariah to the gossip press, and perpetually threatening to write a "tell-all"
biography. Alison has had a difficult life, turning to drug use and
prostitution in leaner times. Mariah dedicated her debut album to her, but
these days the two are bitter enemies, largely due to a custody battle over
Alison's offspring where Mariah took her mother's side.

Morgan suffered from serious symptoms of cerebral palsy and epilepsy in his
youth, but is now married with children. Mariah actively participates in the
lives of her nephews and nieces, and gets along well with Morgan and his
wife.

P2. When and where was Mariah born?

Mariah was the third and final child born to Patricia, an Irish-American
mezzo soprano opera singer, and Alfred Roy Carey, an aeronautical engineer of
mixed Venezuelan and African-American descent. She was born on Friday March
27th 1970 in New York. She was raised on Long Island, New York.

P3. How would I pick Mariah in a crowd?

Mariah used to be most commonly recognizable for her shoulder to elbow length
slightly reddish brown curly hair. But given the number of changes in the
last few years, the trademark look is now a thing of the past.

Mariah's hair was darker and straighter than her natural red/brown during
part of 1994 (see the Fantasy and Daydream covers), and in interviews and
video clips after the release of Daydream, her hair appeared much lighter,
although was once again curly.

Recently Mariah appears to be almost completely blonde, and her hair is once
again straight. In summary, I certainly wouldn't envy anyone who tried to
pick out Mariah in a crowd based on her hair colour. Better to look for her
new trademark- dark sunglasses.

Mariah has brown eyes, stands 175 cm tall (5'9") and weighs approximately 55
kg (120 lbs). She is tall and lean, and has tanned skin, partially natural
due to her parentage. Her dress size was reported by Cosmopolitan magazine in
the US as European 10 (US 6).

P4. What are Mariah's favourite things?

Mariah's favourite colour is pink, though she likes to wear black. Mariah
enjoys having fun outside, especially at the beach or at an amusment park-
but anywhere really. She also likes swimming, water-skiing and horseriding,
but appears to exclude competitive sports from her recreational activities.
For thrills she likes to try rollercoasters.

Mariah likes to spend time with her animals when at home. Her oldest animals,
mentioned in many interviews, are:

Jack a Jack Russell Terrier
Ginger a Yorkshire Terrier
Princess & Duke Mariah's Dobermans
Tompkins Mariah's Persian cat

More recently Mariah has obtained two more cats Clarence & Puffy, and Tommy
gave her another dog as a gift a couple of years ago. In Japan recently she
added two further small dogs, Bing and Bong. Her pets live with her in her
Manhattan apartment.

Mariah likes listening to rap and other contemporary music styles. Covers of
'Without You', 'Open Arms' and the reworking of 'Genius Of Love' into
'Fantasy' demonstrate Mariah's strong sentimental attachment to songs of the
late '70s and early to mid '80s. (This period formed the musical backdrop to
her teenage years.)

Mariah was inspired to her original style of singing by listening to Alison's
collection of soul, jazz and gospel. But lately she has been showing a
leaning towards a more urban sound.

When curling up to watch a movie, Mariah prefers comedy and horror. However,
her choice of favourite actors- Marilyn Monroe and James Dean- might also
indicate a soft spot for movies made during Hollywood's golden years. For a
TV dinner, Mariah is likely to choose pasta, or perhaps salad. She used to be
a vegetarian, but lapsed when she married Tommy.

P5. What was Mariah's first wedding like?

Her first wedding, to Tommy Mottola (see P7), was a bit like a Royal wedding,
as Mariah modelled it on the wedding of their Royal Highnesses Prince Charles
and Princess Diana. Her excuse for using this wedding as a basis for her own
was that she never really had much interest in weddings as a girl, and she
wanted to know what such a gala affair should be like. Even the tiara she
wore, a family heirloom, was redesigned to look like the Princess's. Her
wedding dress was an ivory-silk duchess satin gown designed by Vera Wang,
with a 8.25 m (27') train and matching satin pumps. The whole affair cost
almost $US0.5M, not including the 1893 sixpence Mariah put in one of her
shoes for luck.

There has not yet been a second wedding, but since Mariah's separation and
divorce from Tommy, the gossip press has been alive with speculation about
the celebrities Mariah might now romantically linked with. Even Tommy has not
been left alone by the ruthless rumour mills.

P6. Does Mariah smoke?

Most people assume not, and that assumption is true. However, a more
pertinent question is "Has she ever smoked?" This is a question that appears
only have ever been asked of Mariah by the public, and the answer is yes.

Mariah smoked during her teenage years, until the age of 18 when she gave up
in one day. Legend has it (and it is probably as good as any other
explanation) that just before she quit, Mariah lost her voice and promised
God she wouldn't smoke if she got it back. She did, so she doesn't.

P7. Who was Mariah's first husband?

Thomas D Mottola Jr was married to Mariah in June 1993. Tommy, as he is
known, has risen from being a so-so talent manager to CEO of one of the
biggest and most dominant entertainment corporations in the world, Sony
Entertainment. Born into a warm Italian family, Tommy carries the stigma
attached to his father's alleged connection with the mob. A hazard of sharing
his name, though marrying the daughter of an alleged mobster in 1971
certainly didn't help.

Along his rise to the top, Tommy has been a guitarist in a rock band, drag
raced, acted in four films under the stage name Tommy Valentine and even
tried his hand as a solo vocalist. Jack of all trades, master at none, Tommy
admits he was never a showman. But when he signed up Hall and Oates to Epic
records in the early 70s, his ascent to prominence was assured, perhaps more
through slick contracts than actual foresight.

Tommy even has had songs written about him. One is called 'Cherchez La
Femme', originally recorded by Dr Buzzard's Original Savannah Band. It was
rerecorded in 1994 by Epic Records' Gloria Estefan on her covers album 'Hold
Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me'. About singing of her boss, Gloria says in the
credits, "I got a real kick out of singing this one... I loved singing
[Tommy's] name [on the song]... Thankyou [Tommy]... My love to Mariah!" Tommy
was also recently the subject of a Vanity Fair article called 'Tommy Boy'
[Vanity Fair 97].

The divorce of Mariah and Tommy was finalized in March 1998 after a nine
month trial separation. Mariah has not remarried.

(except Mi Todo, the Spanish version of My All) have appeared on singles and
albums in some countries- refer to the "Mariah Carey Singles Discography"
document [Ahmed] for information (see M2b(iii) to find where to get this).

In addition, each song from the Mariah Carey album has a Spanish version
registered in the BMI music database, however these have not been released,
and recordings may not even exist.

TECHNICAL QUESTIONS

T1. What does the Merry Christmas CD Extra offer?

ALBUM Title Published Tracks UPC (Master) Length
Merry Christmas [CDX] Columbia 1995 10 CKR 66891 (DDD) 38:53

CD Extra (formerly called CD Plus) is a standard for multisession CDs
developed by Sony and supported by Microsoft. The Merry Christmas CD Extra
disc currently contain two sessions. The main session is the ten tracks that
comprise Merry Christmas (US Version), and this portion is playable on any
standard CD player. This session complies with the Red Book standard for
audio CDs.

The interactive portion is available only on multisession drives. You should
check that your drive is multisession before you decide to invest in a CD
Extra. Most drives produced today are multisession devices.

Assuming that you have a compatible drive, you will also need modern
hardware. The interactive program on the Merry Christmas requires a
reasonable processor (at least 66MHz or 20MIPS), and a reasonable video
driver (supporting 800x600 at 256 colours), a reasonable sound system (at
least 8 bit, 16 bit desirable) and at least 8Mb of memory. Most systems today
should have no trouble meeting these requirements.

Software to access the CD Extra is supplied on a separate standard Yellow
Book CD ROM, as are instructions to install it and test it. Once you have
installed this software, you can run the interactive program on the CD Extra.
If you have Microsoft Windows, you will need a CD Extra with a Windows
compatible interactive program. If you are using an Apple Macintosh, you will
need a Macintosh compatible CD Extra. On Windows 95, you will not need to use
the supplied driver software, as the operating system will automatically
recognize CD Extra discs.

The interactive program has many elements. Firstly, you have the option to
display the karaoke-style lyrics while playing the CD audio normally. Another
interactive portion allows the user to randomly access a discography of sound
samples from every track of every Mariah album, plus some video clips from
her full-length video releases.

A user-driven interview with Mariah shows a number of prerecorded video
interview clips where she answers questions about her feelings on Christmas
and the making of the album. The interview is set in a living room, and
Mariah is wearing one of her Christmas costumes, playing with the newest of
her dogs.

Two full-length video clips are also included, a mimed black and white
performance of All I Want For Christmas Is You, and a live performance of Joy
To The World. As well, an interactive photo album shows some holiday season
photographs of Mariah with some animation.

T2. What is the #Mariah chat channel all about?

I like to imagine the channel as a warm cosy little room in which Mariah
fan's gather together and discuss 'stuff'. Of course, we often talk about
Mariah stuff, but it's hardly a rule. It is not a channel to chat with Mariah
herself, however, and you should be aware that many people impersonate her,
mainly in good fun.

If you have a chat client program for IRC, you will need to point it to a
server computer on a chat network called Undernet. The channel called #Mariah
is on this network, and can be reached from many servers, including:

[America and Australia]
ann-arbor.mi.us.undernet.org (Michigan)
davis.ca.us.undernet.org (California)
lowell.ma.us.undernet.org (Massachusetts)
vancouver.bc.ca.undernet.org (Canada- works well from Australia)
okc.ok.us.undernet.org
okc2.ok.us.undernet.org
au.undernet.org (Australia- usually disconnected from the world)

[Europe]
fr.undernet.org (France- also available from Australia as a last resort)
nl.undernet.org (Netherlands)
si.undernet.org
uk.undernet.org (United Kingdom)
eu.undernet.org

To use IRC you choose a unique nickname (that people on IRC will refer to you
by) and connect to the server. Once connected, the IRC server responds to
commands. The command to connect to #Mariah is:

/join #Mariah

Simply introduce yourself by typing messages at the keyboard. Usually there
will be someone willing to help you get started with a few commands. But be
careful exactly what commands you type, as some people may try to trick you
into disclosing private information.

There are also other channels where you may go, but #Mariah is the
traditional channel. If it is quiet, use one of the following to join other
possible channels:

/join #mariah_carey
/join #mariahcarey
/join #mariah-carey

To learn about the history of the #Mariah channel, go to Sunbelt's
retrospective page at:

T3. Does Mariah have any DVDs?

[DVDs (Digital Video Discs) are a very high density CD-like medium used for
storing compressed digital video of a very high quality. They are not
currently very widespread, but are expected to become so as DVD-ROM drives
(analogous to CD-ROM drives) become popular in computer applications, thus
bringing the cost down as economies of scale take hold.]

Yes, Mariah has a DVD called "Daydream: From New York To Tokyo", details of
which are listed in the album videography (question M2f). One would expect
future video album releases also to be available as DVDs, as well as a
retrospecive publishing of previous video albums as DVDs become popular.

MISCELLANEOUS QUESTIONS

X1. When was the newsgroup founded?

I personally like to set the date as being Monday 25th December 1995, the day
of the first Mariah Carey Internet Christmas party on IRC. The newsgroup was
created after my Call For Votes document drew 211 'yes' votes to 61 'no'
votes.

X2. What is MCT?

Mariah Carey Time (MCT) is New York time, or US Eastern Standard Time (EST),
which is 5 hours behind Greenwich Mean Time (GMT, or UTC). MCT is
traditionally used to arrange Internet chats between Mariah fans.

X3. What is 'The Gospel According To Vision'?

The Gospel is a little joke about how fanatical some Mariah fans can be. It
begins something like this:

"In the beginning, there was the word, and the word was Mariah.
Mariah then proceeded to create God to keep her company."
- Archer 1:1

X4. What is all this AIWFCIY and AYNAF and DYTOM stuff?

These are abbreviations for Mariah's songs, derived from the initial capitals
in the song's title.

X5. What was "Crave"?

"Crave" was the name of Mariah's record label, set up two years ago. A
division of Sony Music Entertaiment, created to support new musical talent,
as of last month Crave's operations were to be overhauled to enable it to
meet the expectations of Sony management. The changes have lead Mariah to be
dissatisfied, and this month the label's operations were wound up, with
president Rick Basceglia and promotion chief Lisa Wolfe being reassigned
within the Sony Music family, which includes Columbia (to which Mariah
herself is still signed) and Epic.

Allure were the first artists to see the benefit of the label with their
self-titled debut release of May 1997, which has Mariah attributed with the
vocal arrangements. Their debut single Head Over Heels, written by Mariah,
did well in the charts, and their album and subsequent singles (including All
Cried Out, which featured male vocalists 112) have had similar success.
Allure will appear on the soundtrack of the movie "Woo" with the song Let It
Be, beating Mariah herself to a spot on a soundtrack.

DJ Company, the second artist to have a release from Crave, had a limited
release of their single Rhythm Of Love in mid-1996. The dance act now have
their debut album on the shelves.

Luricia McNeal has had a single released to Europe and the US under the Crave
label: Ain't That Just The Way. Prince Markie Dee is another act signed to
the label.

SOAP, a female vocal group from Denmark, has had a European release of the
single This Is How We Party and self-titled album. The single is now being
played on radio in the US, and their album has now been released there.

More recently BET's "Planet Groove" program featured Mariah introducing R&B
group 7 Mile. The singles Just A Memory and Do Your Thing from their recently
released debut album have had moderate success in the US, but the all-girl
act is yet to break into overseas markets. The song After from 7 Mile's debut
album was cowritten and coproduced by Mariah.

See M6 and M8 for information on other tracks Mariah has written and produced
for Crave artists.

X6. What is "Camp Mariah"?

Camp Mariah is a camp for kids from inner city areas so that they may
experience a more positive lifestyle and involve themselves in the Fresh Air
Fund's Career Awareness Programme. Mariah has done benefit concerts and
appeared in advertisements for the charity, donating both time and money. For
information, or to make donations, write to:

The Fresh Air Fund
1040 Avenue Of The Americas
