Album Introduction
Like a Prayer is the fourth studio album by Madonna, born Madonna Louise Ciccone in Bay City, Michigan, released in March 1989 on Sire/Warner Bros. Records and produced by Madonna and Patrick Leonard (with Stephen Bray on selected tracks). The album reached No. 1 on both the Billboard 200 and the UK Albums Chart. Like a Prayer reached US No. 1 and UK No. 1 (1989), Express Yourself reached US No. 2 and UK No. 5, Cherish reached US No. 2 and UK No. 3, Oh Father reached US No. 20, Keep It Together reached US No. 8 and Dear Jessie reached UK No. 6. Love Song — a duet with Prince — demonstrates the album's ambition and musical range. The 11-track album combines pop, rock, gospel and soul influences with deeply personal songwriting, and is widely regarded as one of the most accomplished and critically acclaimed albums of Madonna's career. This limited edition pressing includes the original patchouli-scented inner sleeve, making it especially sought after by collectors.
