| It's all coming back to me....... This album also has "I'm Going Bananas", which I fondly remember for various reasons. "Vogue" is FROM this album? I'm remembering now it's on there and I wondered why. I knew I had it on "The Immaculate Collection," which I thought pre-dated DICK TRACY. Old age. Blah. |

| Yes, as I recall, Vogue was originally intended to be a B-side for one of the Like A Prayer singles, but when her record company heard it, they knew it was too good to be a B-side and insisted it be its own single, so it got 'tacked on' to I'm Breathless. Maybe this is revisionist history, but it always kinda worked for me -- perhaps because of that brilliant David Fincher-directed video which evokes classic 30s and 40s Hollywood glamour. | |

| For me, "Vogue" is the APOTHEOSIS of Madonna. She did many great things since on record, but..............Bette Davis, we love you. And there ya go. |

| ...when I said that it "worked for me," I meant that I thought Vogue works in the context of the I'm Breathless album even though, as a house song, it is completely different than the pastiche 30s and 40s style numbers that make up the balance of the album, and, so, really should feel out of place. For some reason, it's never felt out of place to me. Its placement as the very last track probably helped, too. You'll get no debate from me about the song being the apotheosis of her career. |

| I do remember it was the last track, but I thought I'd heard it somewhere else before. The video is fantastic as well. One of her best. This medium she nailed regularly. I could watch HOURS of Madonna videos. |
