Like a Prayer Cassette Single





Will never forget when this came out. I don't think anyone will. Driving from downtown through Hollywood out to Zuma beach in a friend's Jeep, all of Los Angeles was ablaze with Like a Prayer. The alarming opening guitar by Prince, the door slam, Madonna's sexy ethereal voice, the choir, the bells - a pop hymn. I can go on and on. We rewound this shyt so much, even the non-Madonna fan loved it. It was an enchanting time.

  1. Make time stop! I can't believe this is more than 20 years ago. I also bought the cassette single. I just couldn't believe it was really her. She changed so much in such a short time. I miss these magical moments. The cover is also gorgeous.

    Was never a fan of Act of Contrition though.

  9. I became a Madonna freak with the Lucky STar 45 --- but I remember when "Like A Prayer" came out it took it all to a whole different level. It was SO GOOD. It still is.
