Not sure if I'd call White Heat a masterpiece but True Blue is a great pop album. Papa Don't Preach, La Isla Bonita, True Blue, Live To Tell, Open Your Heart, Where's The Party all of those are great.

Jackie Jackson (yes the one from the J5) and Richard Marx sing background vocals on this song.

Love True Blue in general. But yeah the song's cool too.

yeah I knew about Jackie, and Richard Marx is cool

That part where she sings "dangerous" makes me think of Another Part of Me

yeah, I like this a lot. the remaining non-single from the album that COULD have been a good single. i think it was a b-side several times and i wish that on one of those releases we'd gotten a version without the lengthy intro.

That was my jam off of "True Blue"! Should've been a single!

This is when Madonna became an artist to me, Like A Virgin was eh to me honestly...

True Blue had Papa Don't Preach, Live To Tell, White Heat, Where's The Party, Open Your heart, La Isla Bonita

Just good stuff(;

oops, how'd I forget that Where's The Party wasn't a real single? wow, I'm slipping. okay, White Heat is the SECOND remaining nonsingle that could have been a good single.

ever since mariah and all these all artists have been approaching madonna's degree of chart success, i was thinking that madonna also had a bunch of songs that were extremely popular but never released as singles or didnt chart that high:

where's the party - always played on the radio and still is today.

spotlight - top 5 easy, if not then a #1 - this was consistently the #1 requested song on the NY top 40 station.

into the groove - wasnt an 'official' single, right ? didnt chart in the US

gambler - would have been top 5

physical attraction - the crossover station in NY back in the day, used to play this like crazy

burnin up - should have been re-released after the first album broke

over and over - always on the radio, treated like a single.. just never released in the US

I actually prefer this song over "Open Your Heart",one of the few Madonna singles that I never really liked.

you'd be surprised at some of my opinions regarding Madonna I often go against the grain,lol.For example,I think her first album is overrated.

Of course I'll disagree about the first album being overrated.

Her first album is ok, Like A Virgin is eh...., True Blue is good when she came to form in my mind as a good artist.

Then Like A Prayer is when she became great

Glad I found this thread. I accidentally discovered the song on Youtube last week and LOVE IT!

That song is horrible.

True Blue is my least favorite of all her album, i think...idk why but i never have a mind to listen to that disc. Every other album comes across my stereo or ipod semi frequently...hell i even bumped 'Like A Virgin' (the album) today...this one, ugh...has her two WORST songs (did you do it being number 3) -- the last 2 ... unreal bad...

I love White Heat though. I think it was the B side to 'Who's That Girl' ...

Yes! His voice is so unique when I was reading the credits I was like it has to be that Jackie Jackson. Love love love this song. The whole True Blue album is amazing, one of Madonnas best albums. Actually I love that whole era, she was like a cartoon character, really just perfect in every way album, filmclips, tour and YES even the movie.

Big time agree with that opinion! I'm still in shock at how overrated that album is by her fans. Its actually really really mediocre to me. Like A Virgin I feel has better songs in general and better production.

One More Chance isn't on True Blue.
