Album Notes
Personnel: Madonna, Warren Beatty (vocals); Mandy Patinkin (spoken vocals); Tim Pierce (guitar); Abe Most (clarinet, alto saxophone); Mahlon Clark (clarinet); Bob Cooper (tenor saxophone); Dave Boruff (saxophone); Tony Terran (trumpet); Charlie Loper (trombone); Bill Schneider, Randy Waldman (piano); Patrick Leonard (keyboards); Guy Pratt, Bob Magnusson, Abraham Laboreal (bass); Jeff Porcaro, John Guerlin, Carlos Vega (drums); Luis Conte, Jonathan Moffatt (percussion); Niki Harris, Donna DeLory, N'Dea Davenport, Jennie Douglas McRae (background vocals).Recorded at Yuma Recording and Ocean Way Studios, Los Angeles, California.Talk about starpower: I'M BREATHLESS features the club classic "Vogue," which many consider to be Madonna's greatest song, and three tunes by Broadway composer Stephen Sondheim, including the Academy Award-winning "Sooner Or Later." But because "Vogue," which is also available on THE IMMACULATE COLLECTION, doesn't quite fit in with the rest of the album--a collection of novelties and show tunes that live up to the subtitle "Music From And Inspired By The Film DICK TRACY"--and because the rest of the album doesn't quite fit in with Madonna's more familiar work, fans might be tempted to pass up I'M BREATHLESS. That would mean missing out on an essential, oft-hidden side of Madonna as well as missing out on vocal performances that critics agree rank among her best. With tracks like "I'm Going Bananas" and "Hanky Panky," I'M BREATHLESS may be a Madonna oddity, but it's an oddity fans will want in their collection.

Are really good cd, a must have for a serious Madonna fan and even a not so serious fan! With the huge hit "Vogue" and "sooner or later" its a collection of brilliant show tunes! I recommend everyone to purchase this item if they ever get the chance to.

  MADONNA - I'M BREATHLESS ALBUM
Review created: 04/03/08

I'm a big Madonna fan and simply bought this album as i've had it in the past but its been lost/stolen/borrowed and i needed another copy!
In all honestly its one of her poorer albums, some of the songs are terrible, but its worth owning this album simply for the track Hanky Panky (track 3) as its a classic and my personal favourite!!

  This is Ken's review of this one product some are awful
Review created: 05/05/07

This product did not come anywhere near what i had expected from it. I would rate it very very poor in real life compared to the selling description accompanying it when offered for sale. It turned out to be one track of Madonna and even it was not all that exciting. Who the others are is anyone's guess.

  Pop go the 1930s...
Review created: 19/01/07(updated 20/01/07)
by:

This album was issued to coincide with the release of the Dick Tracy film in the same way that the Who's That Girl soundtrack accompanied that film.

There are four songs by Madonna directly from the film, "Sooner or Later", "More", "What Can You Lose?", and "Now I'm Following You", although the latter song appears here in a version different from the one in the film (the film version of "Now I'm Following You" was performed not by Madonna and Warren Beatty, but by the song's composer, Andy Paley). There is also a pointless Shep Petitbone mix of this song which stands out like a sore thumb. The other songs are merely fillers claiming to be inspired by the film's 1930s theme, with exception of "Vogue" which doesn't sound anything like the other tracks, and appears to be stuck on the end as it was the biggest hit from the album and boosted sales.

As a film soundtrack it's passable, and it shows another side to Madonna's vocal talent, otherwise it's reserved purely for fans of Madonna and anyone who enjoyed the songs in the film or music of the era.
