About The Record:

I'm Breathless: Music from and Inspired by the film Dick Tracy is a soundtrack album by Madonna, to promote and accompany the film Dick Tracy. The album is an eclectic mix of soundtrack numbers and songs inspired by the film. The album, musically, consists predominantly of Broadway show-tune-flavored jazz, swing and big band tracks inspired by the music of the 1940s; despite this, however, there are traces of pop music within the album, including the final song, Vogue, which is a dance-pop track with a house beat and disco influences. The album contains "Sooner or Later", a jazz song from the film composed by Stephen Sondheim which went on to win the Academy Award for Best Original Song in 1991. The album was commercially successful; it reached the top ten in the US as well as in several other countries. It has sold over 7 million copies worldwide. The album spawned two singles. The first, Vogue, was one of Madonna's most successful and one of the world's best-selling singles, having sold over 6 million copies globally, and reaching number one in over 30 countries. It was also an influential song, considered to have helped bring house into mainstream American popular music. The video was also successful, helping bring vogueing into mainstream popularity. The next single, Hanky Panky, also did well commercially, reaching the top ten in the US and the UK; the song was noted by critics for its double entendres and innuendos. In support of both I'm Breathless and her previous album, Like a Prayer, Madonna embarked on her Blond Ambition World Tour; the concert tour was critically acclaimed. Madonna has performed songs from the album in numerous occasions; Madonna performed Sooner or Later at the 1991 Academy Awards wearing a dress inspired by Marilyn Monroe, and it was deemed the seventh "most awesome" Academy Award performance by Billboard. Madonna also performed Vogue at the 1990 MTV Video Music Awards, wearing 18th century Marie Antoinette-inspired clothes alongside her dancers.
