Like a Virgin (1984) | Track 05
Writers
Miles Gregory
Producers
The only ballad on Like a Virgin: a cover of Rose Royce’s 1978 soul classic, sung with real hurt.
The Song
Written by Miles Gregory and first recorded by Rose Royce in 1978, “Love Don’t Live Here Anymore” gave Madonna the chance to show a more vulnerable voice, with Nile Rodgers keeping the arrangement spacious.
After
She returned to it in 1995, re-recording it for her ballads collection Something to Remember.
