It's 35 years since the release of 'Express Yourself', the second single released from 'Like a Prayer'. The song pays tribute to funk/soul band Sly and the Family Stone and lyrically encourages female empowerment in relationships. Shep Pettibone gave the song a house upgrade for its single release and it became a Top 5 success across the world, including #2 in the US and #1 in Canada, Italy and Switzerland. The David Fincher directed video drew influence from Fritz Lang's 1927 film Metropolis and saw Madonna on top of a skyscraper ruling over her topless male workers; the video's $5 million production value making it the most expensive at the time. |

Still a surprise this only reached number 5 !! Cherish and Dear Jessie outsold this song in the UK!
The opening of the BA tour is iconic and i have watched it a million times. A Madonna staple and should have featured more on the Celebration tour! |
