Madonna goes Philly

[FranceJoliFan]

No, this isn't anything from her new greatest hits package. I just came across it on YouTube:



Says it's a demo that didn't make it into Bedtime Stories.

Has anyone else heard it before? What do you think? Is she true to Philly Soul?

[whitesockedfunk]

Not with those cheap sounding synths! We need real horns and strings :-)

[FranceJoliFan]

You're right. Nothing artificial should ever be associated w/Madonna.

The rhythm does remind me of early 70s Thom Bell/ Detroit Spinners-type stuff.

It does sort of sound like a lost Spinners tune. Or a Simply Red song.

I like how she sounds at 0:54

"And I beieved you..."

This version is not good and that's why it was probably ditched from the album but...with a good vintage remix (Joey Negro, Dimi) this could be a hell of a track! Or Tom Moulton, yes Tom would turn this into a jewel!

It's called Love Won't Wait.

I just tried the link, and it worked. Check your settings. Or go directly to YouTube and do a search, and tell me what you think of it.

I don't feel it's philly-ish, it's a bit like Hall & Oates-Sound very pop-oriented with some motown-touch and a very poor arrangement. Doesn't fit Madonna.

Well, boring old Madge will rob any idea and capitalise on everything her production team can think of.
