Album Notes
Producers include: Stephen Bray, Jellybean, Mark Kamins, Madonna, Patrick Leonard.
Includes liner notes by Brian Chin.
This is not a true greatest hits, but a collection of newly remixed (1987) versions of her hits.
Madonna's meteoric rise to stardom had as its springboard the early '80s NY club scene; dance music has provided a home base for any of the musical journeys her widely varied career has seen her take. 1987's YOU CAN DANCE found the reigning queen of pop revisiting some of her more famous works, courtesy of the mixing skills of some of the friends she'd made along the way, notably NY DJ and mix artist Jellybean Benitez (a name which was inseparable from the dance music genre at the time). Producer of Madonna's breakthrough "Holiday," he returns here with two slick remixes of the track, highlighting some of its many catchy instrumental nuances. The quintessential Madonna dance track, "Into The Groove," which inspired the album's title, bears the mark of editor Shep Pettibone. Pettibone's reassembling of the track turns it into an all-new dance experience, with inspired breaks and gliding accompaniment. The romantic classic "Over And Over" reinvents the original, augmenting Nile Rodgers's tight production with extra percussion and keyboards.

    This is Madonna's first Dance CD. Great tunes like Holiday and Where's The Party are on this CD as well as the DUB Versions you heard at the Bars, Clubs, Disco's.

      You Can Dance - Madonna
    Review created: 07/01/08

    This is a cassette that I enjoyed as a young teenager, and now I can enjoy it in CD form as a thirtysomething. I have loved Madonna since I was 9, this is her best mixed CD IMO.

      Madonna's Remix Album --- Why'd She Choose These Songs??
    Review created: 05/02/07
    by: starcollector-- a member of Epinions and Top Reviewer in Music

    Pros:
    "Holiday" is a great song

    Cons:
    Otherwise, her song selection is mostly unbearable

    (Disclaimer: Those looking for a brief description of the album will find what their looking for in the "Album Overview" section. The section titled "Detailed Track Discussion" is meant only for those who want to read detailed descriptions of the songs, and they do not constitute the essence of this review. Lastly and most importantly, this review is not necessarily written by the point of view of a Madonna fan.) Introduction: A bunch of Madonna hits melded together for one extended dance beat. It was a nice idea, but her song selection was rather unfortunate... Track Listing: Best song: ...

      You Danced Then - You May Now

    by: lynus -- a member of Epinions

    Pros:
    Remixes!

    Cons:
    80's electro-pop remixes!

    It was bound to happen that Madonna would release an album dedicated to dance. She was now in the Spotlight, she knew Everybody loved to dance to her music on Holiday... Over and Over clubs were getting people Into The Groove. Plus it s easy to release an album of previously released material since you don t have to stress yourself out with planning music chords or lyrics to get fans on the move, you just have to do something different. And most work when it comes to remixing comes in the form of background instruments than vocals themselves. And, face it, Madonna is the queen of being...
