Editorial Review:
It didn't take the postmotherhood Ray of Light to prove that Madonna is a big softie; this collection of ballads and slow jams had already done that. Somewhat confused in intention--the scalding ache of "Oh Father," a 1989 song for her own dad, is shoved between the sex of "Rain" and a version of Marvin Gaye's "I Want You"--this is nonetheless a highly listenable album for those who dig Madonna for her music as much as for her cultural significance. --Rickey Wright

Madonna ... SOMETHING TO REMEMBER (1995) 
2009-10-05 - In 1995, Madonna released her tenth album entitled, SOMETHING TO REMEMBER. It turns out that this album is Madonna's first-ever greatest ballads compilation, featuring fourteen of Madonna's greatest ballads. Some of the songs are old and were released as singles. Some are new and were released as singles, but all of these songs are from Madonna's creativity and heart.
I WANT YOU (performed by Madonna & Massive Attack)
New song. This song was originally recorded by Marvin Gaye. Now, I've never heard Marvin Gaye's original, but Madonna's cover is really great. This song was planned to be released as the first single from SOMETHING TO REMEMBER. Madonna even filmed a video for the song. But the plans to release this song as a single were abandoned, but the video was still commercially released and aired on MTV & VH1.
I'LL REMEMBER
From the 1994 original motion picture & soundtrack "With Honors". This beautiful song was released as a single & theme song for the film, "With Honors", starring Brendan Frasier and Joe Pesci. A beautiful song.
TAKE A BOW
From the 1994 album "Bedtime Stories". Such an amazingly beautiful song, a song that I will never tire of hearing.
YOU'LL SEE
New song. The album's first single. This is another one of Madonna's beautiful ballads. I remember that this song was the second song I had heard from Madonna back in 1996. Beautiful song. The music video for this song was shot as a sequel to Madonna's music video for "Take A Bow".
CRAZY FOR YOU
From the 1985 original motion picture & soundtrack "Vision Quest". "Crazy For You" has always been one of my favorite Madonna songs. Madonna had performed this song on her first-ever concert tour, "The Virgin 1985 Tour". After "The Virgin 1985 Tour", Madonna had never performed the song again on her subsequent tours. But in 2004, on her "Re-Invention 2004 Tour", Madonna performed it again for the first time in 19 years.
THIS USED TO BE MY PLAYGROUND
From the 1992 original motion picture "A League Of Their Own". One of my favorites. In my opinion, what makes this song really special is that this is the theme song for the 1992 fact-based Comedy / Drama film, "A Leauge Of Their Own", in which Madonna had a co-starring role. The film takes place in 1943, during World War II. Most of the men that played major league baseball fought in the war, causing baseball to shut down, until the All American Girls Professional Baseball League was formed. Madonna plays Mae Mordabito, centerfieldsman for the Rockford Peaches. Her teammates call her "All The Way" Mae.
LIVE TO TELL
From the 1986 album "True Blue". Another favorite of mine. This song, for me, was one of the many highlights during Madonna's "Confessions 2006 Tour".
LOVE DON'T LIVE HERE ANYMORE (Remix)
Original version from the 1984 album "Like A Virgin". The album's third & final single. A great song. The original version of this song, which had made an earlier appearance on Madonna's 1984 album, LIKE A VIRGIN, was not released as a single. At the time, back in 1984, the only release this song was given, was a promo release. This song wasn't released as a single until 1996. Madonna shot the music video, while she was shooting "Evita".
SOMETHING TO REMEMBER
From the 1990 album "I'm Breathless". Though, never released as a single, this song was a perfect choice to include here. The song's title was even perfect enough to name the album, as well. Beautiful song.
FORBIDDEN LOVE
From the 1994 album "Bedtime Stories". Despite the fact this song was never released as a single, it is still an amazing song.
ONE MORE CHANCE
New song. The album's second single, though not released in the U.S. An okay song.
RAIN
From the 1992 album "Erotica". Beautiful song, with an amazing music video. This song should have been a major hit.
OH FATHER
From the 1989 album "Like A Prayer". Still such a beautiful and heartfelt song.
I WANT YOU (Orchestral Version) (Performed by Madonna & Massive Attack)
New song. This version definitely lives up to Madonna's album version.
This album is definitely amazing in many ways. The album name is so appropriate in every way. This album is also a real treat for all Madonna fans around the world.
she leaves us a collection of beautiful ballads to remember...
2009-09-30 - instead of releasing another cd of her greatest hits, she gives us a collection of her greatest ballads. i'm soo glad she included "this used to be my playground", "crazy for you", and "i'll remember". i love this cd very much and i find it very special. the cd reminds me of the fall season. these songs have romance, nostalgia, and heartache. something for everyone! for anyone who is a fan of madonna should totally get this cd!!! it's totally worth it!!!
1."I Want You" (with Massive Attack)-god, knows i feel the same way she does. it sucks when a man doesn't want you anymore and i feel the pain of these lyrics. madonna did a great job with this version. 5/5
2. "I'll Remember" (Theme from With Honors)-this song has great memories that i can "remember". i love the year 1994. it's a beautiful adult contemporary song. 5/5
3. "Take a Bow"-my all-time favorite songs. it shows madonna's vunerable side. 5/5
4. "You'll See"-it's a sequel to take a bow but this time madonna comes off as a much stronger person who is ready to move on with her life. 5/5
5. "Crazy for You"-one of her most underrated songs and one of the few where she sounds good vocally. i can't understand why this song wasn't so popular back then. 5/5
6. "This Used to Be My Playground"-the saddest, most beautiful songs madonna has ever written!! i cry many times when i hear this song. for people who are emotionally sensitve, listen with caution. i can relate to it alot other than "love tried to welcome me". 5/5
7. "Live to Tell"-i used to cry alot when hearing this song. it has a very dark and sad atmosphere mood to it. i cried when she sang it live during who's that girl and confessions tour. she looking absoulutely gorgeous in the video. she wasn't wearing a whole lot of acessories and bangles on her. it was just simply madonna who was maturing as an artist. 5/5
8."Love Don't Live Here Anymore" (Remix)-i never knew that this a re-worked version from her song on like a virgin album. she sounds awesome on this version. 5/5
9. "Something to Remember"-it tells a sad tale that she gave up on the man she loved and decided to move on. i love this song. 5/5
10. "Forbidden Love"-one of my favorite songs from the bedtime stories album. i love it and the music. 5/5
11. "One More Chance"-the guitar strumming in the background is beautiful. madonna is at her best when she sings these type of songs. 5/5
12. "Rain"- love it. 5/5
13. "Oh Father"-song from like a prayer album. it was very different from her other previous songs. it sounded almost autobiographical and i love the video. 5/5
14. "I Want You" (Orchestral)-love the orchestral version! 5/5
THE QUEEN OF POP NEVER DISAPPOINTS
2009-05-30 - MADONNA MADONNA I love her and her Music this is a great album great compilation of sweet and mellow songs if you like Madonna you should own this album.
A great collection of ballads by the Queen of Pop
2009-04-16 - Madonna is known for dance and pop music, but she has also written and co-produced amazing ballads of note. She may not have powerful vocal capabilities but she certainly gets better with every album, and uses what she has to the best of her ability. The 1st and only ballad compilation album by the star.
Songs that stand out for me is the incredible #1 hit 'Live to tell" from True Blue, her #2 hit "I Remember" from OST 'With Honours', her #1 'This used to be my playground" from OST 'League of their own", her biggest US #1 "Take a Bow" her top 10 hit "Rain" from Erotica new songs "You'll See" and "Once more Chance", songs that the album could of done without or replaced with another ballad (in my opinion) are "Love don't live here anymore" and "Forbidden Love". Wasn't "La isla Bonita" a ballad, "Promise to Try" from 'Like a Prayer' would of also fit perfectly. A good listen.
