Firstly, apologies for the sound quality of the video not being perfect, but this is the official video for True Blue!
The Motown-style song was released as the third single from Madonna's third album, and was also the title track. It topped the UK and Canadian charts, and also reached No.3 in America, and was written and produced by Madonna and Stephen Bray.
The single entered the UK singles chart at No.3 in 28th September 1986, reaching No.1 the following week on 5th October. The single fell back to No.2 for two weeks - Nick Berry claimed the No.1 spot with the atrocious "Every Loser Wins".
This was an era when pop music was at its
best, with good old-fashioned solid song-writing, and the Top 40 being
full of strong tunes, rather than the crotch-grabbing, "shouty" nonsense
you hear in the charts today. Okay, maybe I'm getting old and sounding
like my parents, but I'm still very glad that I was young when I was -
the 80s were awesome!
The B-side of the 7" vinyl featured the track "Ain't No Big Deal"
