3️⃣ Who's That Girl (1987)

Another US #1 song that contains one of Madonna's best bridges!
🎵 Light up my life
So blind, I can't see
Light up my life
No one can help me now 🎵

4️⃣ Open Your Heart (1986)
buff.ly/m9E8Fen
Madonna's 5th #1 song on the Hot 100. One of my fave videos! Madonna as a sex worker but cool & distant - "You can see me, but can't touch me"! used again in an AOL promo audio for '94's Secret! buff.ly/uB3wnDh

5️⃣ Causing a Commotion (1987)
buff.ly/SNj4FAn
A #2 smash in the US and a UK #4 peak, Madonna scored with the 2nd single from the Who’s that Girl soundtrack. M had her people on the track: Donna DeLory & Niki Haris on backing vocals & Shep/Bray on the mix!

6️⃣ True Blue
buff.ly/Q71ex3P (Euro)
buff.ly/kgftCr8 (US)
A #3 smash in America, TB topped the UK charts!
The video for the US single was, however, much different than the European single. MTV held a contest for a DIY video, and the winner was "the" US video.

7️⃣ La Isla Bonita

A Top 5 song on on the Hot 100 & a #1 in the UK!
Madonna would revisit the Spanglish lyrics and tones a few more times, and one of those, you'll see here shortly... !

8️⃣ Spotlight (1988)
buff.ly/C2AMRAM
Written for True Blue by M, Stephen Bray, & Curtis Hudson, Spotlight didn’t make the final cut, but instead became the single from You Can Dance, M’s remix album. Familiar producer Jellybean provided the remix.

9️⃣ The Look of Love (1987)

Never released in America, TLOL was indeed an official single in the UK. From the Who's That Girl Soundtrack, it peaked at #9 on the UK charts.
Madonna knows how to write & deliver a haunting ballad!

1️⃣ 0️⃣ Love Makes the World Go Round

First heard at Live Aid in 1985, we had to wait another year to hear the studio version on True Blue. The polished version was worth the wait! It shines as the album closing track!

I was introduced to The Ocean Blue on MTV’s 120 Minutes. The moment I heard the jangly guitar and sax, I was hooked!
