MADONNATHON: CRAZY FOR YOU

I'll start you off with a slow jam today. Ah, I love to love! Don't you love to love? Well one of my fave love songs of all time was a little boy's anthem of love for me, Crazy for You by Madonna. Released in 1985 from the Vision Quest soundtrack, it was one of the two songs (the other being Gambler) that Madonna sang as a nightclub singer in the film. It was Madonna's first ballad to be released and actually competed with her songs from Like a Virgin on the charts, even reaching the top 5 at the same time as Material Girl, which peaked at #2. The reached #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 on March 30, 1985 (knocking We Are the World out of the top position) and earned Madonna a Grammy nomination for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance. Here is one of Madonna most loved and least performed songs, Crazy For You.
