“Each Time You Break My Heart” is a 1986 song recorded by singer Nick Kamen. It was his debut single from his album Nick Kamen, released in 1987. The song achieved success in many European countries, including Ireland, Italy, UK, Swiss, and in the U.S. it was a top-five hit on the dance charts.

Written and produced by Madonna and Stephen Bray, it also cracked both the U.S. dance chart (remix by Shep Pettibone) and the Top 50 in Canada. Madonna had originally written and recorded the song for her “True Blue” album, but it did not make the cut. Her original version remains unreleased officially but has leaked onto the internet. It is almost identical in melody and structure to Kamen’s version.

Very good song, from an already classic interpreter, which he left us, one hit wonders, thanks Paul.

Hi Paul. Thank you very much for re-ripping this track by Nick Kamen. It’s by far my most favorite track by him. Love the power-house team behind this one: Madonna and Stephen Bray, Steve Peck, Shep Pettibone and those mad slicers and dicers, my boys, The Latin Rascals!!! What a treat this is Paul and the dub is AWESOME too!!

Hope you had a nice weekend celebrating Mother’s Day and all.

Hugs,

Jeff
