Today In Madonna History 
The verdict on Like a Virgin-Quite good!-one of the better sophomore records in Rock! Best song on the album-Madonna’s first ballad Love Don’t Live Here Anymore. Good job Madonna.
She did NOT “fail to deliver” on ‘Love Don’t Live Here Anymore’!
Agreed!
That cover of “Stay” is amazing. Thanks for sharing it. It’s funny how cover versions sometimes make you see something in a song that you didn’t notice in the original.
Completely agree. It’s interesting when an uptempo song is slowed down into a ballad how the lyrics seem to take on a very different emotional resonance.
