MADONNA'S BIG BREAK

Following the recent death of record executive Seymour Stein, Madonna shared the following story on her Instagram page:

 

"I stalked a DJ named Mark Kamin - for a year at a club called Danceteria! In the Early 80’s. He finally agreed to play my demo of a song called “Everybody” on a Saturday night. The Club was packed. An A&R man from SIRE records was there - Michael Rosenblatt. He heard the music and asked me if he could bring me to meet his boss Seymour Stein.

 

I Couldn’t get the words “Hell Yes”! out of my mouth fast enough!

Unfortunately Seymour was in the hospital for a Heart Ailment!


I didn’t care. Lets Goooooo! When I met him he was laying in a hospital bed wearing his boxer shorts and a wife beater!


He had a cannula up his nose and a saline Drip in his arm! He was grinning like the Cheshire Cat.


I was carrying my giant boombox ready to play My cassette for him immediately! He smiled and laughed when he saw me and asked me if I was related to the Virgin Mary!! Hahahhahahaa. I knew we would hit it off. I played him the song a few times. He signed me to his record label that day!!"

When asked by Simone Marchetti what she would do if she were 20 years old today, Madonna answered:

"I don’t even know, I guess I would do the same thing – I would still want to go out in the world, I’d still be curious and hungry for knowledge and want to do as much as possible. I would still want to make my mark on the world, express myself, disturb the peace, be adventurous – be rebellious. All those things. I wouldn’t be any different, I would just have more food and more shoes."
