amazing how involved the harmonic structure of these tunes is. at the time I though oh no not another pop song (I had no clue about music theory back then) and now I wish we'd had songs like this ...
@@dominicbriganti8100 FROZEN, LIVE TO TELL, LIKE A PRAYER, RAIN, and I'll remember, This used to be my playground VERSUS Vogue and Erotica. Orbit, well he is a DJ and sound became too GENERIC too fast.
@@prophetmadonna3744 William Orbit did production on I'll Remember if I am not mistaken. Orbit … because everyone wanted their record to sound like Madonna's Ray of Light. Pat co-wrote Frozen with Madonna but Orbit did the production. Pat had a hard time letting others work with his material and put their spin on it. Warner Bros. asked Shep to redo Like a Prayer, not Madonna. Orbit was a genius in psychedic sound. You can hear a little of the Beatles in DEAR JESSIE. Shep Pettibone made Like A Prayer better … the 7" Version and 7" Dance Edit. He understood source material and was more than a remixer by then. VOGUE eclipsed Like a Prayer by light years because it had a very unique sound. Like a Prayer is a beautiful song and many non-Madonna fans have told me so.
I remember my piano teacher wrinkling up her face in distaste and saying “Well, I don’t know who it is, but she is working with someone who knows what they’re doing.” It killed her to admit even that much!! I was telling her about Tears For Fears at one of my lessons and she asked me if they were married, which I thought was odd. Then she raised her eyebrows, leaned in and asked “...to each other?” OMG. Madonna certainly did have talented people behind her, as evidenced here, but I am really blown away by her vocals on these demos. Thanks so much for them.
Thank you thank you thank you Patrick Leonard for letting us hear this after so many years! True and loyal Madonna fans will know what I'm talking about! LAP years were GOLD.
Pat you and Madonna were a collaboration made in heaven, you made Madonna into the legend she is, the True Blue album her biggest selling in her career u were a master producer and Like a prayer my favorite Madonna CD took pop music to another level another number 1 best seller, in fact most of Madonna's # 1s was due to your collaboration, you are a master indeed wouldn't it be great if you could collaborate again with her on a whole new CD, you and Stephen Bray are the soundtrack to my life.
It always makes me surprised when I think how fresh her voice was BEFORE taking singing lessons for Evita in 1996; maybe she could not control her voice as much as she can do now, but certainly she looked more genuine!
Josef Cross me too! I was in HS I can’t even start to explain how Madonna‘s songs inspired me. Only our generation can get how big Madonna was and exciting it was...Madonnamania
you make us so happy with these demos. please upload them all to a google drive or a drop box and let Madonna’s fan base have one over on the cassette thieves. we would love anything you have to offer. thanks again Pat. genius ♥️🙌🏼🥰
When you Instagramed these I was blessed, and now the full track.....thank you for sharing, you and Madonna deserve all these royalties, not ANYONE else!
This makes me think of what makes a great song. You start from scratch and there’s so many things you can try and layers you can add to make it perfect. The final Cherish with all its layers is so pleasing to the ear, it’s pure dope like most Madonna songs back then!
These great old demos beg the question... when will Madonna's classic albums be getting the SDE treatment complete with demos, alternate takes (although apparently Madonna didn't do that much), unreleased tracks, a 5.1 surround mix from the original multitrack masters, etc.?? I'll go back to dreaming now... Thanks for posting these. Loved this album when it came out in the late 80s and remember how "edgy" LaP video was when it came out. Classic!
*There's no words to describe de warm sensation when I hear this song, and particulary, the voice of Madonna singing. It's a wonderful experience. Thank you Patrick, this was and is a wonderful experience though your music* .
Hi Patrick, big fan of your music with Madonna. Just wanted to let you know how much your Soundpage in July '88 issue of Keyboard Magazine inspired/motivated me to learn to play keyboards as a 12 year old! I still listen to a MP3 recording of Farewell Fancy Pastin' to this day. :)
First of all thank you very much! I always thought that this was the best way to finish with the people that makes money with Madonna. It's sad that only this tape is known but there are lots of collectors paying money for rare stuff... I've heard of people paying hundreds of dollars just for "Like a prayer" album version instrumental and things like that... I really thank you so much for this. You're fighting against people who tries to get money with your hard work and in the best possible way, making fans really happy and for free :)
Wow thanks for posting these Patrick I can’t believe you wrote almost all these tracks in like 2 hours ! And everyone a hit I wish madonna would get back in the studio with you
Oh wow Patrick thank you so much. What beautiful work! Madonna’s music does not get the praise it deserves. I would love to hear more of your work with her and work with others like Jody Watley’s Most of All. One of my favorite songs and artists as a child.💜💜💜
Thank you P-Lenny! This reminds me that I'd bought the 7 inch vinyl single of #Cherish for my younger sister. Over time it disappeared from her record collection and reappeared in mine. Many years later I found out that #JeffPorcaro was the #drummer on the single and album versions of the song. Super cool.
I’m not a crazed obsessed fan or anything, just like a bit of everything from Jazz, Rock, 80’s Electronic, Blues. I have to say this is way up there for best Pop song ever written & produced. There is not one thing you could criticise about it. It’s not even Madonna’s best vocal performance, I’d go with More or Oh Father for that but as far as the complete package, absolutely perfect, I don’t think you could get sick of hearing it👌🏻
This is one of my favorite Madonna songs from the 80s. It's very interesting to hear the original arrangement for this song and all of the flourishes and details that were added to the final version.
I never knew these existed and today Like A Prayer shows up in my suggestions. Then I find the rest of these. ❤ thank you for sharing. I love Madonna and her music. You both made amazing, timeless art. I can’t pick a favorite….as I listen to each one, it’s my favorite. Grateful that you have shared. Many thanks! Where were the demos made? All one location?
All of these demos... crying... Pat you legend. Genius.
@P Ta 👍👏
Please, Patrick, I think everybody here would love to hear Just a Dream and Possessive Love.
Thanks for such precious gifts today!!
XOXO
🤞🏻🙏🏻😍
Unbelievable to get these. Never thought I would see the day! Thank you Pat from the bottom of my heart.

I don’t care if this is a demo the 80s is pure magic and this sounds really amazing!
This is like Christmas 1989 style ...loving these demos ...
Madonna walked into the 90s like a badass queen holding your hand Patrick, thank you for these.
there was mix of happiness, sincerity, joy and innocence back in those days. the 80's and 90's will always be cherished! love ♥️
amazing how involved the harmonic structure of these tunes is. at the time I though oh no not another pop song (I had no clue about music theory back then) and now I wish we'd had songs like this ...
Patrick and Madonna made the best music together. All these demos and unreleased songs should be officially released
live to tell, LIKE A PRAYER, and the best ever single of all time, FROZEN.
I 2nd that : was always thinking how amazing to have a CD of madonna unsealed songs
Actually, her best work was with Shep Pettibone and William Orbit

Like a Prayer changed my life. It is my all time fav album of Madonna, any album for that matter. I am crying here. Thank you Pat
It's definitely her best album.
Remember that smell? 💜
@@taintedlife2618 I actually bought patchouli essential oil and heat it up when im playing the album lol
Scotty J the same reason I wore patchouli in high school. That and my goth friends. I need to go get some and wear it. Been a while.
Arikm7 you weren’t impressed by Madonna singing FUCKING JAZZ MUSIC? it’s one of her best albums!

probably my favourite Madonna song! So interesting to hear!
check out my version of this song. I miss her 90s vocals.
It always makes me surprised when I think how fresh her voice was BEFORE taking singing lessons for Evita in 1996; maybe she could not control her voice as much as she can do now, but certainly she looked more genuine!

LIKE A PRAYER IS A LEGENDARY ALBUM, I LOVE ALL SONGS FROM IT
HELLO FROM RUSSIA ❤️✨
I’m crying. Thank you.
Warner/Rhino hello? Bonus tracks on a deluxe Prayer.
Not all paying public undersrands... don't stress
Apollo Zero I totally understand and I want re-issues with Bonus tracks and unreleased songs!
I’m crying! I swear! Thank u so much, Patrick!
When you Instagramed these I was blessed, and now the full track.....thank you for sharing, you and Madonna deserve all these royalties, not ANYONE else!
There is only one Patrick Leonard. Amazing. Please Patrick share other demos. All my gratitude for these tracks
AND FROZEN IS THEIR GREATEST WORK,
This makes me think of what makes a great song. You start from scratch and there’s so many things you can try and layers you can add to make it perfect. The final Cherish with all its layers is so pleasing to the ear, it’s pure dope like most Madonna songs back then!

This SONG is one of my very very FAVORITES it’s a masterpiece ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Lovely. My favorite Madonna song of all time. The demo still has everything I like about the song - the bassline and the chord changes.
Wow thanks for posting these Patrick I can’t believe you wrote almost all these tracks in like 2 hours ! And everyone a hit I wish madonna would get back in the studio with you
Love these demos so.much . Keep them coming
Love this demo and all its versions !
When I get pensive , this song is my escape and a fantasy for a few minutes.
Wonderful!! And this is one of my all-time favorite M vocals/songs!
I always love the Madonna/Leonard collaborations as much as Madonna/Bray.
Great stuff.....great drum programming, even the porcaro drum parts enrich the song....a fan of you, mr. Leonard.....
Wow!! Thank you so much! What a amazing day this is for us fans!
It seems that most of the demo lead vocals made the final cuts...
Okay, it's official, I have passed out from major Madonna excitement over here! Thank you thank you thank you!
We are being spoilt today!
Hey Patrick. Will you work again with Madonna? For me your songs are the best. Hugs from Mallorca
Oh wow Patrick thank you so much. What beautiful work! Madonna’s music does not get the praise it deserves. I would love to hear more of your work with her and work with others like Jody Watley’s Most of All. One of my favorite songs and artists as a child.💜💜💜
Amazing to see the original demo vocals were used on the final mixes.
so good to listen to your demos!!! i hope this will stop the sale at auction... not cool!! really!!
what is the difference between a demo and the actual single???
@@prophetmadonna3744 a demo is unfinished! you can hear differences and understand the evolution of the song during the creating progress!! :)
@@dens54 tHANKS. ITS just its not so obvious.... well at least not on this case.

One of Madonna's cutest songs aside from True Blue, Borderline, and Shoo Bee Doo... You Pat and Madonna are genius 💙💙💙
This is one of my favorite Madonna songs from the 80s. It's very interesting to hear the original arrangement for this song and all of the flourishes and details that were added to the final version.
love you, Pat. you bring joy to the world. your work is the beautiful treasure of music history💯🥰✔️ and I must add that 90s music is the best!
Even the demo is a perfect piece of pop - thanks for sharing with the world!
As fresh today as the day it first made me smile!! Thank you!!
I’m in tears right now... ❤️
love you long time Pat!!
I fit the part where she played harp in 1990in there perfectly and I had the mermaids envisioned in my head
We ❤️ you Patrick Leonard for shaping my teen years and early twenties! Can you do that again and capture that magic again!
One of my favorite love songs its so pure.
First was a kiss , love attack , possession love , just a dream ??? do these actually exist Patrick ??
Thank you Patrick. What a great team you were.
Thank you Pat! I'm loving it! 😍💝
Madonna and Pat, the best combination

Oh Father was recorded live I guess so what you hear was her singing with a live band with overdubs added later on
Amazing song 🙏❤
