Madonna’s “Lucky Star” was released in August 1983 as a Double-A-side with “Holiday” on Warner Bros records, and later as a stand alone single. This song is so full of energy and super catchy, it just makes you want to DANCE 💃🏼!! I remember hearing this on the radio and dancing all around the kitchen. The single reached number four on the Billboard Hot 100 becoming Madonna’s FIRST top-five HIT. For those of us that were in our teens during this time we all wanted to look like Madonna, dress like Madonna!! I remember talking my mother of pearl rosary beads (giving to me by my catholic grandmother) and wearing them like a necklace. I’m sure she would’ve been mortified lol !! Those were the days !!! That was an amazing ERA!!!
