Madonna Music Monday - 08/15/2011

Over the years, Madonna has done very few duets. And her live duets are far fewer. One of the earliest duets Madonna did was in 1985 at the Live Aid benefit concert. At the time, Madonna's Like A Virgin album was playing everywhere. Now an important fact to know is that Madonna's album was co-produced by Nile Rodgers, iconic founder & member of the classic music group CHIC. Another soon to be released album that was produced by Nile Rodgers was the Thompson Twins' Here's to Future Days. Madonna and the Thompson Twins were asked to perform at Live Aid. Madonna performed a 3 song set that included Holiday, Get Into The Groove and Love Makes The World Go Round. Later in the day, the Thompson Twins performed a two set. On their set, they were joined on stage by Madonna and Nile Rodgers. The song they choose to perform is a huge classic. So here is the Thompson Twins singing the Beatles' song Revolution, with an assist by Madonna, Nile Rodgers and guitarist Steve Stevens. Enjoy!
