Love don't live here anymore

Madonna covered "Love Don't Live Here Anymore" for her 
second studio album, Like a Virgin, in 1984. The idea to 
cover the song was actually Michael Ostin's, the head of
 the A&R department of Warner Bros. Records.

Madonna's version of the song begins with the sound
 of acoustic guitars and synth strings. Madonna's voice 
sounds high-pitched, eluding the deeper resonance of
 the tune. After the firstverse, Tony Thompson starts 
playing the drums, which moves along the rhythm of the
 song. Towards the end, Madonna sings the song like a
 soul singer and the song ends with a gasp of breath.

The song was recorded at Power Station Studio in
 Manhattan, New York. Rodgers recalled: "Madonna
 had never performed with a live orchestra before. I was
 very much into doing everything live, so I just said,
 'Madonna, you go out there and sing and we will follow
 you.' At first Madonna was hesitant, but the live setting
 ended up producing memorable results. She sang and 
she was overcome with emotions and she started crying, 
but I left it on the record
