1. The burning crosses scene, the stigmata scene & The Black Jesus angle pissed off the Roman Catholic Church in general & some white protestants in the USA Bible Belt region.

2. The interracial bonding moments pissed off some whites in the South.

This song takes me back to late '87.Our local R&B station played this song alot,even though it was never an official single.

"Spotlight" is a song by American recording artist Madonna. It appeared on her 1987 remix compilation You Can Dance, and was released as a single in Japan on April 25, 1988 by Sire Records. Initially rejected during her True Blue album recording sessions, "Spotlight" was written by Madonna, Stephen Bray and Curtis Hudson. It was inspired by the song "Everybody Is a Star" (1970), by American rock band Sly and the Family Stone. "Spotlight" was remixed by Shep Pettibone, with additional mixing done by John "Jellybean" Benitez.

"Spotlight" features instrumentation from drums, bass synths and handclaps, accompanied by vocal echos, a piano segment and violin phrases in the musical interlude. The lyrics talk about how one can be famous if one sings about it. The song received mixed reviews from critics. After its release, "Spotlight" reached number-three on the Japanese Oricon Singles Chart. Although not released in the United States, "Spotlight" managed to chart on Billboard's Airplay chart in early 1988. The song was used in a Mitsubishi VCR commercial, where she appeared.

The song should have appeared on 'True Blue' in place of "Jimmy Jimmy".

no.

i'm saying it should've been included on the album. no need to replace another song with it. would've been nice to have included it on the reissue. but i see why it was left off and added to

"you can dance". thematically fits better.

Remove "Jimmy Jimmy",replace it with "Spotlight" and 'True Blue' would be a much better album,imo.

It's great overall,but "Jimmy Jimmy" and "Love Makes The World Go Round" are the weak links.

"Love Makes The World Go Round" is VERY Madonna, to me. i think it's a good closing track for the album as well.

Congrats

Mariah Carey fans will be so upset about this

Long live the Queen! Vogue is my favourite M song, always and forever!

I quit digging her music somewhere in '90-'92, but she is a bad bitch and I respect her game.

Congrats, bitch!
