Madonna - Shine A Light (early track 1980)

"Shine A Light" first surfaced on a bootleg picture disc single release in Europe in 1992 on Receiver Records accompanied by two other songs supposedly from the same sessions: "On The Ground" (a song actually titled "Safe Neighborhood") and "Little Boy" (actually titled "Little Boy Lost"). These songs were actually licensed from Mia Mind Music, a New York based record label/indie promotions business previously responsible for licensing out the horrible Otto von Wernherr songs that Madonna had sang backup on in her pre-fame days. While it is unclear what the exact arrangement was, it appears likely that Madonna had an agreement with the Mia Mind studio owner that allowed her to record some of her own material in exchange for performing background vocals on other studio clients recordings, thus also explaining the Otto von Wernherr connection. Therefore, most likely these recordings are in fact, the earliest professional solo recordings by Madonna heard to this day and were probably recorded sometime in 1980.

which album is in this song?

[GentlyBlipMe]

@mcatbs9 This song was only "officially" released on a bootleg picture disc single release in Europe in 1992 on Receiver Records accompanied by two other songs supposedly from the same sessions: "On The Ground" (a song actually titled "Safe Neighborhood") and "Little Boy" (actually titled "Little Boy Lost"). It has never been officially released on CD, however you can find it on many bootleg releases.

GOOD SONG...

[chilu04]

I really like the early Madonna !! Punk flows through her veins !! She should record these songs again

[GlossyShoes]

Madonna has a great rock n roll pop voice.. Seems like if you dont sound black then you are considered a bad singer.

[Sheanicky]

Yet another surprisingly strong early vocal from Madonna!

@chilu04 So you can fight to get them.

Madonna has a good voice timbre, very characteristic, I still don't get why many people don't praise her vocal skills. Note that in spite of the poor production of the track, Madonna´s voice really stands out, you can tell she was going to be a star.

@GentlyBlipMe uh huh....I hate when this happens -.-

like why do singers record a song and won't put it in a CD?

I have all of Madonna's songs except the unreleased ones :/
