1985年可說是 Madonna’s Year﹐這一邊廂 Sire 發行了 Material Girl﹐另一邊廂 Geffen 便發行了 Crazy For You﹐當然 Sire 決不會只為 Like A Virgin 發行兩張單曲而已﹐於是緊接 Crazy For You﹐Sire 也發行第3張單曲 Angel﹐而且在 B Side 更收錄一首新曲﹐來自電影Desperately Seeking Susan 的主題曲 Into The Groove ﹐這也是 Madonna首次擔任主角的電影。

Angel (1985/Sire) Track List:
01 Angel (Extended Dance Mix) [US#5 / UK#5]
02 Into The Groove [UK#1]

Angel (Extended Dance Mix) (Edited Short Version)
(Madonna / Steve Bray)




Why am I standing on a cloud
Every time you're around
And my sadness disappears
Every time you are near

You must be an angel
I can see it in your eyes
Full of wonder and surprise
And just now I realize

Oooh you're an angel
Oooh you're an angel
Oooh you're an angel
In disguise, I can see it in your eyes

Walking down a crowded avenue
Other faces seem like nothing next to you
And I can't hear the traffic rushing by
Just the pounding of my heart and that's why

You're an angel
You're an angel, baby
You're an angel
You must be an angel

Now I believe that dreams come true
'Cause you came when I wished for you
This just can't be coincidence
The only way that this makes sense is that

You're an angel
You're an angel, baby
You're an angel
You must be an angel, baby

Clouds just disappear

Into The Groove﹕在美國只作單曲 Angel的 B Side歌曲﹐然而英國卻獨立發行﹐並且成冠﹐在第二版的 Like A Virgin專輯也追收了此曲﹐香港在印製第二版時也一樣跟隨。而美國方面要到1987年發行 You Can Dance Remix Album時才首次收錄﹐不過已是一個新混音版本及一個 Dub Version。
(Madonna / Steve Bray)


And you can dance
For inspiration
Come on
I'm waiting

Get into the groove
Boy you've got to prove
Your love to me, yeah
Get up on your feet, yeah
Step to the beat
Boy what will it be

Music can be such a revelation
Dancing around you feel the sweet sensation
We might be lovers if the rhythm's right
I hope this feeling never ends tonight

Only when I'm dancing can I feel this free
At night I lock the doors, where no one else can see
I'm tired of dancing here all by myself
Tonight I wanna dance with someone else

Gonna get to know you in a special way
This doesn't happen to me every day
Don't try to hide it love wears no disguise
I see the fire burning in your eyes

Live out your fantasy here with me
Just let the music set you free
Touch my body, and move in time
Now I now you're mine

You've got to

Now I know you're mine, now I know you're mine
Now I know you're mine, now I know you're mine
You've got to

Sire在推出12”Single時﹐並沒有發行 Into The Groove的 Remix﹐可是美國 Hot Tracks公司﹐卻為它混了一個特別混音版本﹐作為 Disco DJ播放之用﹐當年筆者付了較昂貴的價錢﹐讓唱片租賃店的店員錄在卡帶中﹐珍藏至今。這個版本混合了 Chaka Khan的 I Feel For You Remix﹐加強了勁度﹐混得非常出色。
