Madonna - Take Me (I Want You) (Slow Rehearsal Version)

Rehearsal version of Take Me (I Want You) (aka 'I Want You'), one of 4 songs that appeared on Madonna's demo tape produced by Gotham Management in 1981. This rehearsal version was most likely recorded at Camille Barbone's Gotham Studios at the Music Building, NYC in July 1981 in preparation for final recording at Media Sound.

Consisting of Madonna's dry vocals with a simple guitar and synthesizer backing, this recording was most likely only intended for writing purposes and never for commercial release.

I love this song

Wow - so great to hear the raw version. Inspiring really. She knew she didn't have a golden voice but there she is belting it out and look where it got her. Bravo!

"Won't you take me for your lover I don't want to have another I want you, I want you, I want you!"

@andrewdancing I'm a big Madonna fan but even I will agree with you on that statement. I like her as a pop artist but not because she is either an artist or a singer. But Madonna didn't even grow up listening to music and to sing well, you have to learn to listen to yourself. Its still pretty impressive what she has built despite not even liking music. But that says a lot of pop music in general...

Its called rock n roll you dont have to be the perfect singer,

[andrewdancing]

Oh, man. She's copmletley out of tune. Wow. Madonna is sure lucky she was surrounded by people who really supported and believed in her, such as Camille Barbone, because she is virtually tone deaf!
