How “Into the Groove” was not released as a single in the US is crazy. I remember the summer of 85 and hearing “Into the Groove” continually played on the radio and on MTV. Ironically though, I don’t remember ever hearing “Angel.” I wish the US had rereleased the Like a Virgin album with Into the Groove on it, like they did in Europe.
As it should be! The U.S. record company really blew it on this one. It was a smash hit even without a proper single release. The B-side to Angel? ITG was a much stronger track. Still love me some Angel as well. ITG is still my favorite M song ever.
Into the Groove is a brilliant Madonna song! Only Madonna can do that!-she is brilliant!
