The brightest stars of the ’80s: Would you recognize them today?

Madonna – Pop Empress

Madonna was one of the first celebrities to achieve success in the 1980s. You may not have known that she had been a part of two bands before she pursued a solo career. She became the biggest artist in her time with hits such as Papa Don’t Pray, and Like A Virgin. Madonna remains the queen of pop even today. She continues to earn a substantial income thanks to her smart wealth management.

Huey Lewis Stowed Away

Huey Lewis has been a singer, actor, musician and music producer for many years. He still performs on stage in his 60s. He began his career as a harmonica and blues musician, who fled from America with little money to Europe. He eventually returned to the US, where he formed his own band Huey and the News. The group was an instant success. Lewis sued Ray Parker Jr. in 1985 for claiming similarity between I Want a New Drug, his song, and Ghostbusters Theme. The couple reached an out-of-court settlement with the assistance of civil law lawyers.
