I love Madonna's vocals here , especially when she says 'You think I'm not that strong'. With final production and a decent mix, bringing her vocals more upfront it would've been amazing.
This is an unbelievably beautiful song that Madonna could still release if she would stop trying to be all new age and experimental. The depth of her voice has such richness... Love this track.. 🌹
Can I just say Warner should open their vault and hand over all the amazing "unreleased" Madonna songs to the Fans on CD releases! It's absurd, there are so many now! I also adore the demo for Each time you break my heart, which did not make the final cut for True Blue and was given to Nick Kamen.
OMFG!!! Como eu nunca ouvi falar dessa música antes? É impressionante como fã da Madonna continua aprendendo e descobrindo sobre ela anos após anos. Sou fã desde 2008 e não fazia ideia dessa demo, simplesmente estou apaixonada. A voz dela ta incrivelmente linda.
This sounds like a Motown homage updated and re-invigorated for the nineties. And Madonna's vocals are crystal clear, light and sexy yet full of emotion. She probably made the right decision to leave it off Bedtime Stories as it is at odds with the whole languorous vibe on that album. Still, as a single I think she would have had a chart topper with it.
On May 10 1997, Gary Barlow’s Love Won’t Wait hit #1 on the UK Singles chart. The track was the lead single from the former Take That singer’s debut solo album, Open Road. The song was written by Madonna & Shep Pettibone during an early 1994 writing session for what would evolve into Madonna’s Bedtime Stories album. After recording a handful of demos with Pettibone, Madonna decided to shift musical directions. While some of Madonna’s lyrics from the Pettibone sessions would be reworked into songs that would appear on Bedtime Stories, the excellent Love Won’t Wait remained shelved until it was submitted to Gary Barlow’s manager for consideration. Strangely, Barlow’s single release credited only Shep Pettibone as the song’s writer, with no mention of Madonna or her publishing company, Webo Girl, Inc. This was subsequently corrected in the liner notes for Barlow’s album, Open Road, with both Madonna & Pettibone receiving credit. Madonna’s soulfully delivered original demo version of Love Won’t Wait leaked online a few years after Barlow’s version was released.
I take into account that British Charts are nearly as pathetic as in France. The song is good, but sung by a talentless BoysBand singer, it's deplorable...
I hope so too. All of her albums are apparently being re-released next year, now she is back with Warner's. The press release says that she is personally curating each album release and track list. I hope it's not just remixes tacked on the initial album.
I really wish she would put out a new album and collaborate with her old crew like Patrick Leonard, Shep Pettibone etc. I miss her raw voice and great ballads
I love bedtime stories and this song and honesty should be included in the album.. because both sounds sound like the album bedtime stories.. a mixed of rap, electronic.. everything.. madonna is a good singer who knows to mix different kind of styles just one album..
when this song was released back in 96 or 97 by Gary Barlow, i knew it was written by Madonna. I did'nt know that this song was meant for the bedtime stories album. This sounds fresh even though it was years ago. Thanks for posting!
It was supposed to be for Bedtime Stories, but had strong True Blue vibes. The song is lovely, just not right for the album, and Gary Barlow made it amazing.
Never heard this track before. Thanks for posting this. Actually I'm not well aware in her unreleased songs. Shame on me! Very beautiful song - reminds me the 80's
Madonna should have released this on Bedtime Stories!!! I'm so fucking pissed that she didn't; it would have been another U.K. hit for her! Her vocals shine resplendantly in this song.
this is a great version of Love Won't Wait but nothing beats Gary Barlow's Version I'm sorry i love the way Madonna sang it it was so beautiful and i do love this bubblegum pop version and Gary's version does not suck but i love both versions it doesn't matter about who's versions are better it was really nice of Madonna to give this amazing song to Gary and i love the way Gary covered it i love his voice he sang this song so perfect i do love Madonna's version but i love Gary's version more
When I listened to the Gary Barlow song 'Love Won't Wait'for the first time way back in 1997, I knew that this song wasn't written for a male singer, the lyrics clearly are meant to be sung by a woman. So when I found out in the early 2000's that it originally was a sung by Madonna, I wasn't surprised at all.
Great track... It has that TSOP, Salsoul type of a sound and totally different from the sound that she was representing at that time 👍 but I think it would have been a hit too. Hell, it's my girl, Madonna!
I have always loved the Gary Barlow version, and still do, but Madonna's version is more sophisticated - especially with the discordant/minor chords under 'cos I believed you etc' the tension between the melody and the chords gives more weight to what she's singing - that this person was an ass, and the singer was in their power for a while, but not anymore. But it's not the simple 'empowered' version GAry makes it out to be, it highlights that she's still scarred by it, which is more real and sophisticated. But that's not surprising, as much as I love Gary, he's not a match for Madonna's artistry.
Yeah unfortunately Gary had become a slave to what the record label wanted him to sound like, he didn't have much input in production. That's why his second solo album was a disaster.
A carefree song for Madonna. Nice and relaxing in a grooving kind of way. lets grab a Pina Colada and sway with the Palm Trees with a slight breeze and a Sunset on a beautiful beach .I'll meet you all there Cheers
This song was left off Bedtime Stories simply because it's not as good as the tracks that did make the album, but also because it fits nowhere on the record. It's such a cohesive set of songs and this being anywhere would spoil its fluency. Other songs left off the album such as Your Honesty and Let Down Your Guard do still fit the mood and sound of Bedtime Stories.
I like both versions actually. I do prefer hearing a man singing it but that's just my opinion. It is all down to personal opinion and taste pretty much.
whoa! for the album bed time stories?! man, being a demo, she was excellent here! should have been, dang, should have been, lol! bed time stories is one strong concept album, her 3rd best album in fact.
@TarantulaCandy You don't know who Gary Barlow is? He is one of the best British songwriters. Lead singer in Take That who are the biggest band in Britain. Search them, they are amazing trust me.
Gary Barlow was forced to sing this song at the time by his record company . Maybe that's the reason why his version is less emotional than Madonna's, even though this one is a demo version. Gary never sang this song anymore, Madonna too.
@viccinkrissi4eva Just because they are big in UK does not mean they are big everywhere. Might shock you but the majority of people do not know who Take That are ... even more so Barlow ...
this song reminds me to the voice of deeper and deeper but the topic of this song it's about love and it should be in bedtime stories and madonna has a good voice in this song and good version, even she didn't include the song in her album bedtime stories but it shows madonnais a good writer.
The lyrics are slightly different in Gary Barlow's version. Incidentally, there must be a few Americans posting on here who are wondering who on Earth he is.
I remember reading in the commentary section of ITVs the Chart Show whilst GBs version was no 1 that this was a Madonna cover and that it must come as a shock that she allowed GB to cover this considering the hundreds of artists she's refused over the years...........
Madonna does Motown. This was a missed opportunity. Such a fantastic track.
real talent! even her demos sound classic
This will certainly be a Big Hit for her. The question is when (later in her carrier or even after her passing)
It was already a big hit in the UK. It was Take That singer Gary Barlow's number one! ❤️
@@robertfraser9873yeah Madonna wrote the song and gave it to him
I love Madonna's vocals here , especially when she says 'You think I'm not that strong'. With final production and a decent mix, bringing her vocals more upfront it would've been amazing.
+Anon Nymous agree, i love her vocal in this era right before she had lessons for Evita right after this album:)
Anon Nymous So good when somebody understands of production :)
The bridge is amazing. And I believed youuuu
I miss her raw voice
Leo Light We all do
I had no idea her lower register could sound like this! Has a nice velvety tone. Awesome full lows. Reminds me of Cher... Colour me impressed.
The Gary Barlow's version was a UK number-one single. I wonder what it would be if Madonna released the song as a single :)
Really? Gary hasn't had any talent and this song deserved a serious starring partner... I'm surprised but it's OK...
Madonna compose that aong
This is an unbelievably beautiful song that Madonna could still release if she would stop trying to be all new age and experimental. The depth of her voice has such richness... Love this track.. 🌹
STOP!!!! Don't be sooo....."REDUCTIVE"🙄
Amen brother - Amen

Bem vindo ao efeito madonna😂
Perfection. Pure and simple.
Estas son canciones que debieron ser incluidas en Bedtime Stories, un seguro y exitoso Single #1👌
I love her voice in this song. We want this M please !
This sounds like a Motown homage updated and re-invigorated for the nineties. And Madonna's vocals are crystal clear, light and sexy yet full of emotion.

I hope this song makes the final cut of a Rarities Madonna album (if she ever releases one during her lifetime).
I hope so too. All of her albums are apparently being re-released next year, now she is back with Warner's. The press release says that she is personally curating each album release and track list. I hope it's not just remixes tacked on the initial album.
This may be my favorite madonna song ever
Same here!! Lol
As well Gary Barlows version is more swinging and lifting, makes you want to sing along to it more.
And "Like an angel passing ..." the Abba Cover is out of this world!!!
I really wish she would put out a new album and collaborate with her old crew like Patrick Leonard, Shep Pettibone etc. I miss her raw voice and great ballads
Her Voice sounds nothing like anymore this due to a number of reasons but mostly because of her age
I love bedtime stories and this song and honesty should be included in the album.. because both sounds sound like the album bedtime stories.. a mixed of rap, electronic.. everything.. madonna is a good singer who knows to mix different kind of styles just one album..
Uraurer
And she could have put 2 or 3 of these songs on GHV2 and released them as singles!!
Beautiful Voice.♥️
when this song was released back in 96 or 97 by Gary Barlow, i knew it was written by Madonna. I did'nt know that this song was meant for the bedtime stories album. This sounds fresh even though it was years ago. Thanks for posting!
im glad they gave it to GB, he makes it such an amazing song :)
I think she should release it now. She is at the age now that her core audience would appreciate this. Stop trying to please teens and please us.
It was supposed to be for Bedtime Stories, but had strong True Blue vibes. The song is lovely, just not right for the album, and Gary Barlow made it amazing.
This is amazing!
"Love Won't Wait" (composed by Madonna and Shep Pettibone) for Gary Barlow
OMG this is the original song!!!!! Gary Barlow performed this song later. both are good singers. kisses
golito1977 Gary Barlow did a better job!
Well, the negative critics doesn't though the same.
Thank you very much for sharing this song. Love this version from Madonna.
Tão bela!!❤❤
Never heard this track before. Thanks for posting this. Actually I'm not well aware in her unreleased songs. Shame on me!
Very beautiful song - reminds me the 80's
This song could of been a major hit ..i absolutely love it
❤❤❤❤❤
this song was sung by gary barlow former member from take that...both versions are great.. Madonna gave him the copyright.
Wow, this version!
Great version!
un tema de mi amigo Gary Barlow.................genial Madonna . como siempre.
MADONNA LA ESCRIBIÒ PARA SU ALBUM BEDTIME STORY
Madonna should have released this on Bedtime Stories!!! I'm so fucking pissed that she didn't; it would have been another U.K. hit for her! Her vocals shine resplendantly in this song.
Amazing voice

really beautiful song!
it sounds like disco music, i love it!!
It's surprising that she withdrawn this and Your Honesty from the album.

Love you Madonna! Você me faz mais feliz!
Madonna me faz mais feliz também 🥰♥️
eternamente rainha
Verdade
❤️Love song
This was such a missed opportunity. Madonna would’ve had a hit with this song
legend still alive!
it´s a good song
Love this song

I love this song! More than others songs of this disc (sorry for my english) :D
cant beleive this was cut from the album it suits it so well
The arrangement with GB is much fuller and better IMO
This is a demo recorded and not a final mix. Gary was a released record.
This is gold single
exelente rola es unica la reina del pop exelente rolon
@gerryhansolo Right after "Like a Prayer", "Erotica" and of course "Ray of Light"!
God I love it
Gary's version is better BUT that's my opinion because I'm a huuge TT and Gary fan and I love Gary's voice (and him sex god :P )
esta buena la cancion-....
This should’ve been included, it feels so warm… really fits the bedtime stories vibe
Gary made justice with this song...
True
Good song, i liked it
such a gem, should have been reworked
A carefree song for Madonna. Nice and relaxing in a grooving kind of way. lets grab a Pina Colada and sway with the Palm Trees with a slight breeze and a Sunset on a beautiful beach .I'll meet you all there Cheers
Here’s hoping for a Madonna “rarities” album soon
This song was left off Bedtime Stories simply because it's not as good as the tracks that did make the album, but also because it fits nowhere on the record.

+ImpressiveInstant92 agree!
+ImpressiveInstant92 Bedtimes Stories is more like self admittance and knowing, deep and sexy as well:)
ImpressiveInstant92 But it's such an amazing song!It should've been included,Gary Barlow made a hit with this
don t wait to long or i ll be gone !!!
Great song. That track should had been added to one of her movie sound tracks!
I like both versions actually. I do prefer hearing a man singing it but that's just my opinion. It is all down to personal opinion and taste pretty much.
Madonna, i will love untill i die
Amooooooo ❤
great
Sorry for comment again: This version is on my dance list with my wife. Yes, it is a fantastic and beautiful song.
Love wont wait
whoa! for the album bed time stories?! man, being a demo, she was excellent here! should have been, dang, should have been, lol!
bed time stories is one strong concept album, her 3rd best album in fact.
@TarantulaCandy You don't know who Gary Barlow is? He is one of the best British songwriters. Lead singer in Take That who are the biggest band in Britain. Search them, they are amazing trust me.
oh my... song composed by Madonna herself but sad it didn't make it to any of her albums.
but this song was recorded by Gary Barlow for his album.
they said it was number 1
@@yagovalle7788 yeah he had 2 #1 singles from that album. Love Won't Wait & Forever Love.
Gary Barlow was forced to sing this song at the time by his record company . Maybe that's the reason why his version is less emotional than Madonna's, even though this one is a demo version.
Gary never sang this song anymore, Madonna too.
They said this song was number 1 with Gary. Can't believe Madonna has been one type of Sia selling n1 songs.
ARE YOU SAYING this song was NEVER ACTUALLY RECORDED ? SHAME !!! I PREFERE GARY'S VERSION Shane Luke ( miss )
@@yagovalle7788 Yeah Number 1 in UK
❤️❤️❤️❤️
SOUNDS VERY BED TIME STORIES, BUT ALITTLE AMERICAN STYLE, the album sound euro pop - well done. the song is good for a Sound track in the 90's
❤
@viccinkrissi4eva Just because they are big in UK does not mean they are big everywhere. Might shock you but the majority of people do not know who Take That are ... even more so Barlow ...
Love this version. I remember Gary Barlow’s cover. Madge could totally re-record this and it would sound contemporary.
It reminds me "I LOVE THE NIGHTLIFE" from Alicia Bridges
I prefer Gary Barlow's version! :) x
2019 anyone 😍🙋👌
2020....
2021😊
this song reminds me to the voice of deeper and deeper but the topic of this song it's about love and it should be in bedtime stories and madonna has a good voice in this song and good version, even she didn't include the song in her album bedtime stories but it shows madonnais a good writer.
Better then Don't Stop. With the final production touches, would've been perfect.
Thats your opinion but Don't Stop is a dance jam!
Dont Stop its kinda good, Love Tried to Welcome Me its the worst song on the album
@@Chiwisp3732 Nah "Don't stop" is the worst.
This could of been a huge hit
This is amazing ! Why wasn’t it released ???
