This article is as much about Madonna as it is about Kylie Minogue.

I didn't realize that Kylie was big in the United States too.

Here in Blighty, Kylie came to national attention by way of the Aussie soap opera-Neighbours.

She and her then boyfriend-Jason Donovan did rock our worlds.

She has overcome illness and all sorts to successfully reinvent herself in four decades-no mean feat, in my book.

Thanks very much for putting this together.
