About the artist
American pop singer in the mid and late 1950s.
Born 1930 in Washington, D.C., USA.
Madigan mostly sang pop standards. She became a musical sensation overnight following her hit recording of the ballad "Joey" in 1954, which peaked at #12 on the U.S. Billboard charts in 1954. She had two other high charting songs: "Always You" peaked at #21 in 1954 and "Dance, Everyone, Dance" hit #31in 1958. Additionally, "There Should Be Rules (Protecting Fools Who Fall in Love)" hit #54 in 1955 and "True Love Gone (Come On Home)" hit #78 in 1957.
Her first real recognition came in 1950 when she played a leading role in the Catholic University musical production of "Touch And Go". She was signed soon after to a singing contract. She starred at the 2400 Club in Washington for nearly two years, later appearing at fashionable local niteries the King Cole Room, the Old New Orleans and the Colony Cocktail Lounge.
During this time, she was featured on her own daily TV-radio shows in Washington and Baltimore over WTTG-Dumont and WTOP CBS-TV. From there, she went on to nation-wide appearances, achieving great success at the Casa Marina Hotel in Key West. She performed on The Ed Sullivan Show in 1957, and on The Dick Clark Show in 1958.
