Herb Ritts, came up out of Los Angeles and turned black-and-white into a loud instrument—clean lines, hard light, and bodies posed like modern statues. My ears know him best because his camera kept circling the music world: the True Blue era with Madonna in 1986, then those sleek, beach-and-desert years where he didn’t “perform with bands” so much as stage them—artists, image, attitude—like it was a set list. Late 1980s to early 1990s is the sweet spot: Madonna’s Cherish (1989), Janet Jackson’s Love Will Never Do (Without You) (1990), Chris Isaak’s Wicked Game (1991), and Michael Jackson’s In the Closet (1992)—all Ritts, all proof that a single frame can hit as hard as a chorus.

"La Isla Bonita" is the song by American singer-songwriter Madonna. It was released as the fifth and final single from her third studio album, True Blue, on February 25, 1987, by Sire Records. Originally written as a lament, the song was first offered to Michael Jackson before Madonna accepted it and re-wrote the lyrics with Patrick Leonard. "La Isla Bonita" is noted for being the first Madonna song to have a Spanish influence in it, with arrangements of Cuban drums and Spanish guitar, maracas, harmonicas and a mix of synthesized and real drumming. The lyrics of the song tell about a Beautiful Island and was a tribute to the beauty of the Latin people according to Madonna.
