In early 1989, Pepsi signed Madonna to a $5 million deal — unprecedented at the time — to feature "Like a Prayer" in a global ad campaign, with the commercial premiering during the Grammy broadcast. The day after the ad aired, Madonna released the actual music video: burning crosses, stigmata, a Black saint. The Vatican issued a formal condemnation. Pepsi pulled the commercial within days, and Madonna kept the $5 million. The song shot to number one anyway. When she accepted MTV's Viewer's Choice Award later that year, sponsored by Pepsi, she thanked the company "for causing so much controversy." In 2023, Pepsi finally released the original commercial — 34 years later. The song itself, written with Patrick Leonard, remains one of the most powerful pop-gospel fusions ever recorded. This SATB arrangement leans into its driving energy and spiritual undertow, built for a men's chorus ready to make some noise.
