Shot by Edo Bertoglio Madonna appears with Martin Burgoyne, Madonna's best friend and roommate from her early pre-fame days in New York.
Of her initial two single record deal with Sire Records, he designed the artwork for the second, Burning Up. He also managed her before Freddy DeMann stepped in and was her back up dancer and loyal confidant.
For these artistic street urchins, Martin and Madonna were kindred spirits and she took care of him up to his untimely death of AIDS in late 1986.
This was for the shoot of the First Album.
Madonna's first album was originally set to be called Lucky Star.
Photographed by Maripol's boyfriend, Edo Bertoglio and designed by Martin Burgoyne.
Wheels were in motion, copies were pressed but then Madonna sat with Gary Heery and everything was changed.
This was the original artwork for the first album -originally titled 'Lucky Star'- that never saw he light of day
It -thankfully- ended up looking like this and simply titled 'Madonna'
The rest is history.
they are both just expressing themselves
