I wonder how she achieved this sound. Her vocal performance in Like A Prayer is so different from everything she's done before or since. A raw state of emotion.

I gotta be honest. I thin, Stephen Bray lost his touch to create a classic Madonna track now. I could be wrong though. Butt he recent Breakfast Club music isn't anything to write home about. I almost feel the same about Nile Rodgers. his hey day as a producer was int eh early to mid-eighties. His work wirth Daft punk was eh. Patrick Leonard she should definitely bring back. I also think someone she should reconnect with musically should be Marius DeVries. Orbit gets too much credit for Ray of Light. I think it's DeVries who made that album sonically great. Because it's missing on Music & MDNA. Don't get me wrong, Orbit was good but he had solid songs to work with written by M & Patrick Leonard. Finally should should reconnect musically with Stuart price on new music. I know he worked on the current tour but her last great album was Confessions. let's face it.

I produced and engineered recordings for 25 years and in all that time and among all those artists, I witnessed skills like Madonna’s quite infrequently, perhaps 4 or 5 times. She was an extraordinary talent as both a vocalist and lyricist. However, the material of the last decade or two just doesn’t have the same finesse or musicality.

I just dug up this random quote from an interview with Patrick Leonard, can't remember the year but he's talking about working with Madonna in 1989: “Madonna would write the lyrics in an hour, the same amount of time it took me to write the music (laughs). And then she'd sing it. We'd do some harmonies, she'd sing some harmony parts, and usually by three or four in the afternoon, she was gone. That's how "Like a Prayer" was written, and then the next day we wrote "Cherish," and then the next day we wrote "Dear Jessie." And that's how it was. We wrote the album in less than two weeks. Because we wrote a song a day, and we didn't change them. And oftentimes the vocal that she did was the lead vocal, we didn't even change the lead vocal. That was it. She sang it. It was done. We learned that from her album "True Blue"... "Live to Tell"'s vocal was a demo, and so were a lot of others. It's not that they were demo vocals -- they were just never sung more than once. I put the track together, she would sing it, and that was it. We learned from that. This idea of a ritualistic vocal session doesn't make any sense. You perform now. You know the song: perform it! And oftentimes, the energy that's there because you're in this creative space is much more pure than when you've thought about it and worked on it and practiced it in your car and all that stuff. It's like, eh, come on. Blue collar, once again. Get to work!”

I was 12 years old when I purchased the LAP cassette album. It was like a treasure and I remember seeing Patrick Leonard and Stephen Bray all over the sleeve with patchouli scent. The names stuck in my head ever since. The pop perfection of Like a Prayer (single) hooked the 12 year old onto Madonna for life. Express Yourself (video version) became an obsession.

This is the holy grail for true original Madonna fans! It's almost a shame that the 'demo' vocal was the one used on the final record... but Madonna's own "aaah's" and harmonies are total gold to hear for the first time. Unlike so many false 'demos', (aside from the fact it's posted on Pat's channel), you can truly hear it is a demo, and that IS Leonard's work. The electronic production is exactly the same sound as Who's That Girl, which was only the previous year. The digital drums, toms and bass synth are so clearly from the same equipment. You can tell for sure that this is what Pat used before they decided to get real 'live' musicians in for the final fantastic LP mix. This is absolutely amazing to hear though, and I love it just as much (and a little bit more) for all those reasons!

Except SHE usually "figures out" the harmonies on the go. It's a common thread in ALL her music regardless of the co-producers. She gets little to no credit for it, well just because that's the way it is. In reality she plays the piano (formal training), the drums and acoustic guitars from her gig-days and is an insanely talented composer. Again, no credit for that whatsoever. You can hear her going at it in real-time on the Erotica demo session leaks, how she layers the harmonies in Rain, also the leaked Vogue rehearsals, when she's trying to figure out the bridge 4 part harmony - it's insane.

Oh my God!!!! It's a dream come true! This demo is so much better than the album version... The drum beats, the Donna Delory back up singing... So emotional, so pure! I just loved it! Thank you Pat Leonard... You're a genius!

This is HEAVENLY. My God, it gives me the very same thrill when I heard the finished version in 88. It's like peeking in Heaven. Those HARMONIES. SO BEAUTIFUL. thank you. Now imagine if she would've collaborated with Patrick for her new record? It'd be a million times better

Thank you, Patrick, for doing the only thing you can at this point. Demos, like manuscripts, first drafts, unedited raw photos or any unfinished work shouldn't be out there in the first place unless the artists decide for themselves. These are gems nonetheless. This fan will appreciate them.

Damn, you were the director of that crazy out-of-the-world show Ciao Italia in Turim, 1987. I found you ! What a big band ! Two guitars, three back vocals, Roland D50, Yamaha DX7... Solo guitarrist James Harrah killing on the swing of David Williams and the synths of those famous keyboards. Best version and performance of Holiday ever ! Unforgettable ! I made a video about it in my YT channel, please check it out. Please take all my respect and admiring. Tell me also: why did such a lady, a great singer, perfect dancer and wonderful stage performer quit a big pop band to do a mass uncultured playback electronic empty sex-appealed subpar work a few years later. She didn't need that. She needed you, James, David and that wonderful big band. No offense on her, sorry if you don't agree. Kind regards and congrats for what you represent. Greetings from Brazil.
