In early 1983 dj john jellybean benitz had a demo of a song called holiday he offered it to Mary to record she declined telling him it wasn't up to much it was ultimately recorded by a then pretty unknown club artist called madonna...it would become her first top 20 u.s. hit and she would make her american tv debut singing the track on american bandstand ,....in the u.k the songs hit was staggering charting in the top 10 on three separate occasions '84 then again in '85 and again in '91...benitz would tease Mary everytime he saw her after madonna got it and she would laugh and say " I know I know "..would it have worked for Mary ? And launched solo chart success for her ? Was her voice right for the track ?...
