Sending an Early Message to Warner

From the Venice set of Like a Virgin

Liz Rosenberg stays with Madonna, of course.

Did we think Liz would stay at Warner without The Greatest Star That Has Ever Lived? Of course, Liz Rosenberg is going with Madonna. Variety reported this morning.

Bette Davis, We Love You. The Two Queens of Warner Bros.

Two of our strongest and fiercely independent women had long relationships with Warner. Under Contract.

Bette - the Queen of Warner Pictures...17 years with Warner:



Madonna - the Queen of Warner Records...27 years with Warner:

Revenge of the Killer B's - Ain't No Big Deal. For me, it was.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It was 1984 and all I had was Madonna/Madonna. When I came across Revenge of the Killer B's, sequel to Attack of the Killer B's, from Warner Bros. Records and saw there was a new Madonna song from the first album sessions, excitement didn't even describe it. The song was Ain't No Big Deal, and this was almost 3 years before it was released as a B-side on the True Blue single. A song the fans had always heard of in early interviews - the song that really got her signed and was slated to be her first single but was scrapped at the last minute. It was that high pitched Motown voice, it was that great Reggie Lucas production, it was just great.
