I'm On Fire
"I'm on Fire" is a song written and performed by American rock performer Bruce Springsteen. Released in 1985, it was the fourth single from his album ''Born in the U.S.A.'' History "I'm on Fire" was first recorded in January 1982 during the first wave of ''Born in the U.S.A.'' sessions, but the album version and the single was cut on May 11, 1982, at The Power Station. This took place in impromptu fashion when Springsteen started making up a slow tune on guitar for some lyrics he had, some of which had been written for "Spanish Eyes", which would later surface on '' The Promise'', and drummer Max Weinberg and keyboardist Roy Bittan, hearing it for the first time, created an accompaniment on the spot. The result was a moody number that merges a soft rockabilly beat, lyrics built around sexual tension, and synthesizers into an effective whole; it was one of the first uses of that instrument in Springsteen's music. ''Cash Box'' said that the song is "at once a quiet and tense tun ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

You Can Dance
''You Can Dance'' is the first remix album by American singer and songwriter Madonna. It was released on November 17, 1987, by Sire Records. The album contains remixes of tracks from her first three studio albums—''Madonna'' (1983), '' Like a Virgin'' (1984) and '' True Blue'' (1986)—and a new track, "Spotlight".

Madonna became interested in the concept, noting that she hated when others remixed her songs and wanted to do it by herself. Madonna turned to her old friend and producer John "Jellybean" Benitez to help her remix the songs, and also enlisted the help of Patrick Leonard, the producer of ''True Blue''. The mixes on ''You Can Dance'' exhibited a number of typical mixing techniques. Instrumental passages were lengthened to increase the ...
