“True Blue” (Madonna, Steve Bray) – Madonna; Sire label. # 3 Billboard Hot 100 – 1986. Inducted in 2016.
The song was the title track of Madonna’s 1986 album, was the third of five hit singles released from the LP. "True Blue" is a tribute to the girl groups, including those on Motown, that were popular when Madonna was growing up in Michigan and were a direct influence of her music. 
According to Madonna, its title was taken from a favorite expression of her then husband Sean Penn and his very pure vision of love. When interviewed later, following her divorce from Penn, Madonna said of “True Blue”: “It’s a song about love. I didn’t know what I was talking about when I wrote it.”
Madonna’s video for “True Blue” was shot in the fall of 1986 in New York and was directed by James Foley who had also done the videos for “Papa Don’t Preach” and “Live To Tell”. Foley’s charming retro video featured Madonna, three dancers, a vintage car, along with an all-blue malt shop. Madonna performed the song in choreographed moves, backed by her dancers, as a salute to the rock and roll culture of rock and roll's first decade.
