"You Can Dance" by Madonna (1987, Sire/Warner Bros.)

"You Can Dance" album cover
      By the end of Madonna's 1987 tour to promote a soundtrack as well as her third studio album, her marriage to actor Sean Penn was falling apart.  In November 1987, she filed for divorce, and probably in attempt to redirect attention to her music career, Sire Records released her first remix album, "You Can Dance" that month.  The album went generally unnoticed however, especially with news that Madonna had reconciled with her husband shortly after.  It charted at #14 and had no singles.
      It did however, include the previously-unreleased track, "Spotlight" recorded during the, "True Blue" sessions, as well as her hit song, "Into the Groove" which had previously been unavailable in the United States.  All other songs were previously released on her first three studio albums: "Madonna" (1983), "Like a Virgin" (1984) and "True Blue" (1986).
