Okay trust me, I'm old enough to know. Cyndi is not Madonna's predecessor. They came out at about the same time. Madonna's debut album "Madonna" came out in 1983 but she had two huge singles in 1982 before the album was released with "Everybody" and "Burning Up." Cyndi's first solo album was released in 1983, "She's So Unusual." So to say Madonna wouldn't be Madonna without Cyndi is inaccurate.
