Bandcamp Bonanza: Top Picks For Indie Music Makers' Sixth Monthly Event

Nobody Else: Cherry Red Revisits Nick Kamen Discography on "The Complete Collection"
"Wow, he's got a great face!" That was Madonna's first reaction to then-model, future pop star Nick Kamen. She recollected, "I never knew he could sing. And the next thing I know, Seymour Stein calls me up and says, 'would you be interested in writing a song for his album?' So he sent me a tape and the Levi's commercial and a demo video that he had done, and I said, 'Wow, this guy's got everything.'"

Diana Ross & The Supremes Sing and Perform "Funny Girl" featured the group's dynamic

Review: Micky Dolenz, "Live in Japan" [CD/DVD Edition]
Even today, the name Kodak is synonymous with photography. But in 1980 Japan, Kodak was synonymous with The Monkees. The venerable company had scored a popular commercial there with the group's recording of "Daydream Believer," leading to a fresh wave of Monkeemania.

Micky Dolenz was third to arrive, having comfortably reestablished himself as not only a stage star but a theatrical and television
