Yeah, its dumb that some people try to take Madonna's abilities as a songwriter away from her, I know that she  co wrote a lot of her music but that does mean she was not the one calling the shots and taking creative control. She has always had a good vision for the specific way she the beat and instrumentals to sound. The drums are always especially prominent in her music. I also had no idea about Susannah Melvoin was involved with what came to be Swim.

Yep, her version of Swim is about the death of her brother Jonathan (just like Prince's The Love We Make). She even said she did not care about not being credited on it. It did not bother her father too since he was the president of the Grammys the year Madonna won all her grammies for Ray of Light so if there was fraud they would not have let her get away with it so far.
