By now you would have seen/read/heard about the article and subsequent photos that will appear in the April edition of Out Magazine. It's their Ladies We Love edition, featuring two svery pecial covers. One is Miss Britney Spears, the other, Queen of Pop herself, Madonna.

The rare photos of her Madgeness are part of an unseen collection of shots taken by Richard Corman in New York City back in 1982. That's nearly 30 years ago people! These shots (some of which you can preview online) show the raw talent at a very early stage. Of the shoot, Corman says:

"She was like the Pied Piper of the neighborhood -- [the kids] loved her. They followed her, they danced with her, they sang with her. It was something they did on a daily basis, and it was remarkable. We just walked up and they gathered around. She put the boom box on -- it was her music, though I don’t remember which song -- and they just started dancing and singing. She was so alive and unpretentious. She was fierce, determined. Nothing was going to stop her."
You can check out more of Corman's account of the photo session on the Out website, which also includes a whole range of photos never seen before. Brilliant.
