In 1954, Madigan was rated "the newer female vocalist the greatest chance to become one of the top female vocalist names" in a poll of disc jockeys conducted by Billboard.[1] That year, she appeared on The Red Skelton Hour, The Dave Garroway Show, and The Colgate Comedy Hour. In 1956, she portrayed Martha Cratchitt in a 1956 episode of The Alcoa Hour called "The Stingiest Man in Town," a musical adaptation of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol.[6][7] Madigan performed on The Ed Sullivan Show in 1957, and on The Dick Clark Show on 1958.
A description of Madigan in a 1959 issue of Gramophone said that she sounds like Alma Cogan and also resembles her.[8]
