August: Madonna Month

Recently I changed my Facebook profile pic as a tribute to my idol, the Queen of Pop, Madonna, whose birthday is coming up on the 16th!   

Madonna is her self-titled debut album, released in July 1983.  The single "Everybody" is what prompted the much-wanted record deal with Sire. 

I posted the video to "Everybody" on my Facebook wall.  In the following video, Madonna performs her song during "The Girlie Show" live in Japan.
