I'm Breathless is the soundtrack album created for the 1990 film Dick Tracy. It was released through Sire Records on May 22, 1990.The album was co-produced and recorded by Madonna, who also co-starred in the film. It features the hits "Vogue" and "Hanky Panky". Actually, only three of the songs from the album — "Sooner Or Later", "More", and "What Can You Lose" — were ever really used in the film, with "Now I'm Following You" re-recorded by a different artist.note "Back in Business" shares its name with a song from the film, but has a completely different tune and lyrics. Also, "Vogue" was originally intended to be a B-side to Madonna's "Keep It Together" single from Like a Prayer, but executives thought that it was too good a song to be wasted as a B-side and instead released it as a single prior to the album's release.I'm Breathless would sell seven million copies worldwide, being certified Double-Platinum by the RIAA. "Vogue" would reach #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 (her eighth) and the UK pop chart (her seventh).Track listing "He's The Man" "Sooner Or Later" "Hanky Panky" "I'm Going Bananas" "Cry Baby" "Something To Remember" "Back In Business" "More" "What Can You Lose" "Now I'm Following You (Part 1)" "Now I'm Following You (Part 2)" "Vogue"

comment
Repetitive Audio Glitch: "Now I'm Following You (Part 2)" begins with the record skipping, presumably after Part 1 finishes playing if you're listening to the entire album straight from the CD. Madonna says "Oh, dear" and fixes the record player so that it starts with the playing of Part 2's music.

Dated History
 I'm Breathless (Music) / int_3e8c87a3
comment
Dated History: When her song "Vogue" was released on March 20, 1990, more than half of the people on her list were still alive (Greta Garbo, Marlene Dietrich, Joe DiMaggio, Marlon Brando, Gene Kelly, Ginger Rogers, Lauren Bacall, Katharine Hepburn, and Lana Turner). Garbo became the first to die about a month after "Vogue" was released; and by the time the last person on the list died on August 12, 2014 (Bacall), you'll never listen to the song in the same way again, as the anthem for the lost glamour of Old Hollywood is now turned into a Tear Jerker.

Quit Your Whining: The singer of "Cry Baby" gets so annoyed with the subject's crying that she says, "Will you knock it off, please?", and follows it up with a "thank you" when the crying stops. The same sound bites are later used at the end of "Now I'm Following You (Part 2)".
