her most underrated remix for the most underrated hit of the 80s

that soul II soul beat and those keys - man oh man the woman has a talent for picking even better remixes of her songs for tours. this performance was too incredible. and this mix of the song wasn't on The Immaculate Collection??? TOSS CHerish, and replace with this, that collection would have truly been immaculate, had they also found a spot for Causin A Commotin (both of which were oddly not included on IC but included in the setlist for BA.

Alot of poppy "house" mixes from that era seemed to borrow somewhat from Soul to soul.

Almost like record companies just asked remixes to do it "like soul II soul". Personally I find alot of remixes like this abit boring but that was the time I guess.

Wow! I wanted to make a threat about this remix yesterday. I was listening to it on the subway.

The beats and the piano are so cool. It's a very warm sound.

I know time changes, but compare this to some of the shitty cold remixes from today.

its one of a few madonna tracks i actually like. not feeling this remix too much. i hope Soul II Soul got either stitches from this BITE or royalties

Speaking of this, I always wondered why Shep Pettibone did not continue working as a producer after Madonna's "Erotica" album. I understand that Madonna wanted to move on for "Bedtime Stories", but could he not have been an in-demand producer for many other artists at that point? He had remixed for EVERYONE in the 80's-- then after co-producing for Madonna from '90 to '93, there is virtually nothing else in his discography. What happened?

Don't know, but I had a friend who didn't like Shep's remixes other than Lessons In Love by Level 42 and Hard Day by George Michael. If he saw the name Shep Pettibone, he wouldn't even listen to it.

Isn't this her most successful song on the dance chart?

Should have been a video for it - It was a pretty cool they way they ended BA tour with this.

Excellent tune,but I prefer the regular (album) version over this remix

I don't remember what that sounds like, although I have the album. I mostly listened to the remix on the maxi single and it was the version that was played on the local radio stations at the time. There's several mixes on the single.

Aww! see i almost forget how good Madonna can be everyones talking so much about that kids pop sounding MDNA album

The like a prayer era & ray of light era are my favorites. The videos & songs where just perfect.

One of my favorites from my second favorite Madonna album. Absolutely LOVE IT!!!! The remix is great but it's not a great as the album version
