Stephen Bray: the MLVC interview

[@dalestark9505]

His production of The Color Purple was OH MY GOD amazing!

[@lenny_walker4409]

'Baby Love' is still epic till this day!🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾♥️

[@DeanJamesification]

Agreed, and I've been listening to Madonna since 1983, and I STILL think "baby love" sounds like Madonna. Especially chorus.

[@professormause]

She should have done a Pinups type album and sung all the wannabe gals tunes. Or gone Ray of Light with even more obscure rock tunes. Are those cassette's she flings about on her Instagram etc the only copies of her pre pre-career stuff ?

[@ericluriergo8251]

“Baby Love” is a brilliant song: what’s Regina doing today!?”

[@raytheunusual]

@@ericluriergo8251she’s on socials under Regina Richards 😊

[@fuzzykyrra]

Dannii Minogue (Kylie's sister) released a version of Baby Love in the 1990s produced by Steve Silk Hurley

[@jtrover]

This was INCREDIBLE. Honestly, you both asked all the questions I had. How incredibly kind and gracious is Stephen? I've been waiting such a long time to hear an interview with him like this. Thank you so very much for uploading this! What I wouldn't do to hear those unreleased M songs!

[@NoiserToo]

Steve is so humble and understated…I was there with him in the NYC loft when he was first molding his signature electronic sound. That sound was the foundation of the Madonna musical journey and influenced a decade+ of music production. Such a great talent!

[@wandablackwell5029]

Wonderful interview I always hearing about Madonna’s songwriting and early songs. Thank you

[@lenny_walker4409]

Never knew Steven produced "Say It Says It."♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@Aliciakeysnumber0nei]

[@BrianLexingtonKY]

Such a talent...just pure pop genius

[@garycambridge5513]

I hope you guys ask him about the unreleased songs warning signs etc thank so much for asking him about the other demos

[@PungiFungi]

And it is obvious he had moved on and had not thought about them much as it appeared he did not remember the time frame and periods of many of the songs they brought up.

[@lenny_walker4409]

Raw/Soundtrack "Into The Groove"🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾♥️

[@PungiFungi]

Should've ask Steve Bray to sing Warning Signs so we know how it would sound like.

[@ravenna9969]

He have a great memory

[@professormause]

Karen Carpenter's favourite singer was Donna Summer.

[@Davey7358]

I think it was her very good friend Dionne Warwick.

[@bretalleman9352]

WILL HE WORK WITH M AGAIN?

[@lenny_walker4409]

Madonna sounds like Karen Carpenter on her song "Thank You" from her "Music" album

[@Davey7358]

Ghosttown and Rain are her most Karen like songs.

[@PungiFungi]

There is no such song "Thank You" on Music.

[@atrocchia]

Madonna was best when she collaborated with Stephen Bray and Patrick Leonard.

[@johndean4727]

its Michael Hutchence not Hutchenson.

[@solarflaresoftruth]

No, it isn’t.

[@lenny_walker4409]

Her name was Cheyenne. She recorded Into The Groove first. Madonna's version is way better!💯🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

[@pensiveczar2239]

It's a shame Bray never produced a ballad for Madonna. I have a feeling it would've been hot.

[@MegaJake1971]

Produced with Madonna, not for Madonna

[@pensiveczar2239]

Semantics. Whatever. My point remains.

[@MatthiasHamilton]

the real question everyone wanted an answer to that you never asked is why the two of them stopped working with one another..... LOL 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
