Madonna used the New York studios to record her 1983 debut album, Madonna. On April 15, 1972, singer-songwriter and pianist Billy Joel and his touring band played an hour-long concert at Sigma Studios. The recording of "Captain Jack" from this event received extensive radio play in the Philadelphia area, long before Joel became widely known, which helped him establish a national following. Watch The Sigma Kids Here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JdGVR_xI7PARock 'n' Roll Fridays:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEvn_21MsmWSK7fqOPNLjJA?view_as=subscriberSupport the showIt's Rock 'n' Roll Fridays!FacebookYoutubeInstagramWebsite Got a Great Musical Story?
