On January 26 1987, Madonna won Favorite Female Pop/Rock Video for Papa Don’t Preach at the 14th annual American Music Awards at the Scottish Rite Auditorium, Los Angeles, CA.
One of the award presenters, Mister Mister’s Richard Page, would later collaborate with Madonna & Patrick Leonard on the 1994 soundtrack hit, I’ll Remember.
Isn’t she adorable?
Yes she is! True Blue was the start of Madonna’s imperial phase one that happily continues today because she is loved, adored and cherished!
If I remember correctly she wasn’t supposed to show but came on stage to the surprise of the announcers and the fans! Correct me if I am wrong!
That was a major moment. Madonna was not announced as being there at start of show. She emerged from behind the curtain to pandemonium upon winning the award. Such star quality. There isn’t an act today that could pull that off. No one would care. Thanks to all my fans watching out there tonight.
1987 was such a phenomenal for Madonna. Today, these celebrities are here one day and gone just as fast. Madonna paved the way for them. She had hit after hit in 1987. The Look of Love could’ve and should’ve been released in the usa to end the year.
