Interesting Facts:
Madonna's follow-up album to Like A Prayer was also the soundtrack for the 'Dick Tracy'-movie (in which Madonna plays the role of Breathless Mahoney - hence the name of the soundtrack album).

Only 3 of the 12 tracks were actually from the 'Dick Tracy'-movie itself: 'Sooner Or Later', 'More' and 'What Can You Lose'. All three tracks were written by Broadway composer Stephen Sondheim. 'Sooner Or Later' won an Academy Award in 1991 as 'Best Song from a Motion Picture' - not to forget is Madonna's legendary performance of the song at the Oscars.

At the time, 'I'm Breathless' was Madonna's least successful album featuring new material. It has sold an estimated 6 million copies worldwide.

The album contained only 2 released singles: Vogue and Hanky Panky. 'Vogue' was initially meant as B-Side for the Keep It Together-Single but - thankfully - got released on its own. It remains one of Madonna's most popular and biggest selling hits of the '90s. Also considered for single-release were 'Sooner Or Later' and 'Now I'm Following You' (several unpublished remixes exist) but those plans were scrapped when it was decided to release a Greatest Hits-album (see also: The Immaculate Collection).

Singer Mandy Patinkin is duetting with Madonna on 'What Can You Lose' (also seen in the movie) and Warren Beatty is heard on 'Now I'm Following You'.
