1986. Madonna. Stephen Bray. And Nick Kamen?
Yes, Madonna had written "Each Time You Break My Heart" together with Stephen for the True Blue album, but decided not to use it (along with "Spotlight", which was released the year after on the You Can Dance album). Madonna's version of "Each Time..." has never been released, but a low quality rough demo leaked some years ago.
So, the song was given to lucky Nick who had made a big splash as a model in a Levi's commercial where he stripped down to his boxers. I wonder what M saw in him... ;)
The song became a sizable hit. In the UK the song peaked at #5 and it went top ten in several other countries, including Germany, France and Italy.
Madonna is featured on the backing vocals of the song. She would provide backing vocals for him again when he released the first single from his followup album two years later.
And the Madonna demo:

I have no idea what she saw in him either :-)
I think the real reason he had a bit of a hit on his hands was not so much to do with Madge as the fact the British public wanted to see him semi-naked on Top of the Pops!
I did.
