Madonna in the Eighties

This book takes a look at the cultural and musical impact Madonna's music films and persona had on the world in the 1980s. It was the decade she helped define with a series of classic albums (from her self titled debut through Like A Virgin and True Blue to Like Prayer) the hit movie Desperately Seeking Susan and her revolutionary music videos. She became the most famous woman in the world and a pop idol rivaled only by Michael Jackson. Nearly thirty years since that decade ended Chris Wade delves into this special time in a series of essays on her work gaining fresh insights into the phenomenon of early Madonna as well as interviewing those who worked with her.
