Today In Madonna History 
Papa Don’t Preach-a protest song that actually works-the first Madonna concerto with a classical influence, the song evokes and invokes Vivaldi and Mozart! No wonder Madonna is still sad about her mother’s death!
“Papa Don’t Preach” was a brilliant song and video. She looked amazing in it.
