Fabulous shots. They seem to be taken around the time of In Artificial Light.

I've always wanted this version of Hot House Flower. Now, Sweetie, Now!

Emmy and the Emmys - Bells Ringing

Bells Ringing is a song that was featured on Madonna's studio demo tape with her band, Emmy and the Emmys from 1980. Bells Ringing is seriously in my top 5 all-time favorite Madonna songs. I love her voice, the lyrics, the song, everything.

Emmy and the Emmys was Madonna on lead vocal and guitar, Stephen Bray on drums, Gary Burke on bass and Mike Monahan on guitar.

Without ado, here's Bells Ringing. Enjoy!

Auction: Early Madonna Demo Cassette Recording went for $6,400.00 !!!

…Another unique item is a demo tape an unknown performer named Madonna made in 1979 to send to record companies in an attempt to get a recording contract. Accompanied by an acoustic guitar, it’s just Madonna, her music unadorned by post-production magic and elaborate orchestration. The songs on the tape include “All My Love,” “Hear Me” (a song that evolved into “Shine a Light”), “Simon Says” (which became the familiar “Love Express”) and “Little Lost Boy.”

estimate was $1,000.00 - $2,000.00 and sold for $6,400.00.

Oh, Emmy
