hells that was great. thanks for posting. i loved it when she was a RAW talent (1982-Bedtime Stories) - her vocals on this clip alone were better than any moment of the S&S tour. She was so much better a vocalist when she wasn't trying to be a 'real singer' or whatever.

Always liked that clip

Oh, my bad. I was under the impression that it was rare.

It's rare, but it's on youtube

"Everybody" was her 1st single. Awesome per4mance!

xlr8r said:

was brand new to me! thank you!

HA ! cute

I've seen this before,it's great! Back then,nobody thought that this lady would amount to anything,lol.

I love her.

Awesome. Man, she used to sing her ASS off!

well at least her stage shows haven't gotten any bigger or over-the-top than in this clip

Thats why I love the 80's any random guy with skinny bowlegs in a suit and no pants could have been a back up dancer

Does anyone remember hearing "Everybody" back in the day? The first Madonna song I ever heard was "Holiday" in the fall of 1983.Our local R&B station played it before the pop stations did.They also played "Lucky Star" and "Borderline".

Damn, Everybody is still one of the hottest songs ever.

xlr8r said:

I'm sure lot of people have never seen it. Among her fans it's known about... two years?

SoulAlive said:

They still play Borderline and Everybody on the Blue Eyed soul part of KMOJ here in Minenapolis..they played Human Nature when it was hot too at the time.

paisleypark4 said:

well, both songs are 80s R'n'B!

But did people really think she was black before they saw her? She comes closest to Anita Ward, but she doesn't really sound black. The music was.

that was excellent.... I wonder if the hat is still around?

her voice is quiet strong here, but she looks awful.

SoulAlive said:

Yeah, they played Physical Attraction and Everybody out here on the Rnb station KUTE. We all thought she was black. I got the album and here is this white punk-rock chick on the cover. I was blown away lol.

xlr8r said:

Yeah here in the Bay Area,our local R&B station KSOL played her early singles to death! When I first heard "Holiday",I thought sshe was black.I shocked when I saw the album cover,lol.

It was a staple at house parties.
A lot of what are now considered 80's classics received little airplay but lots of club and house party play.

That's nearly all of early hip hop, rap, eletro "hits" were nowhere on the radio, but played to death at parties.
We HAD to buy the records or get mixtapes from our friends because radio was still only interested in "pop"
Funny thing is most of the cool 80's music we now hear and consider classics were underground music at the time.
Case in point "Holiday" by Madonna

@ THE bassline!

Though I would put Bedtime Stories or Erotica above it, "Madonna" is still one of her very best if not most timeless/classic record, and in some ways "Everybody" is still her very best song. IMVHO "Music" is just a remake of "Everybody."

I had not problem with saying that her debut is her best. Its like her Controversy compared to her Like A Prayer's 1999. The debut is the 'essence' of Madonna. Her true roots.

How I hated the tinny-weak sound of the follow-up album, Like A Virgin.
