The fourth single from Madonna's hugely acclaimed and highly successful album, True Blue, started out as a demo for Cyndi Lauper. But the writers of the track have very different stories about its origins. Listen to a demo along with studio takes from the original multitrack to find out how Open Your Heart was created and why it's one of her most popular singles to date.

I found the full double-track of her https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ximBvlgNyqY , but wondering if the multi-track online has both of her singular vocal tracks separate and any extra footage

Do you have a list of which songs she double tracked her vocals? Or is this unique being the only one

Finally, what technique was used to eliminate her breathing noises? Did they actually snip those milliseconds off for each breath?

Right near the end I hear her say the word "stop" like the audio track you have includes different takes and possibly discussion between takes? That would be epic to make public .. I'm a noob so I'm curious how she recorded her second vocal track. Was she listening to her first track with the music while singing the 2nd vocal and were they able to split them into segments instead of a full run through so they could redo sections
