A Star is Born

Where it all began. I had the first album for a few months and then at the newsstand in December of 1983, I came across this - a first album outtake in color blasting A STAR IS BORN on Billboard magazine. This was my third photograph of Madonna - before I had seen any video.

It would be a good 3 months before I would see the video for Borderline. Really her first video, they didn't play Burning Up or Everybody until after the success of Borderline. I would see those on MV3, a local Los Angeles new wave video program hosted by KROQ's Richard Blade.
