“Keep It Together”, the final
release from Like A Prayer, was the first of Madonna's singles
to be released in the
1990’s. The song marked one of the few
times the
a single when other major
territories did not. Although “Keep It
Together” was an undeniable
hit, peaking at #8 and
selling over 500,000 copies, it failed to become a Madonna staple and
is largely unmemorable
today. The lack of a video and the fact
that the song lacked the
dynamic sound and message of
the other Like A Prayer singles allowed the track to be
easily lost amongst some of Madonna’s
biggest career moments as she entered the 90’s.
Nonetheless, “Keep It
Together” served as the finale for Madonna’s 1990 Blonde Ambition
Tour and many fans appreciated the song’s simple
celebration of family and togetherness.
“Don’t forget that your
family is gold” and don’t ever forget that the single was certified gold
as well.
