"Like a Prayer" is a song by Madonna, and was the first single to be released from her album of the same name. A power pop/rock song written by Madonna and Patrick Leonard, it notably featured a gospel choir, arranged by Andrae Crouch. The highly controversial music video for the song was directed by Mary Lambert. The video depicted a black man (played by actor Leon) who comes to the aid of a white woman being raped by white men and he is falsely arrested for the crime. Madonna decides to testify in his favor and secures his release. It attracted criticism for its subplot of Madonna making love to Saint Martin de Porres, its use of Catholic iconography, including a scene where Madonna develops stigmata, and cross burning imagery, but also garnered praise for its interpretation on discrimination, rape, and faith. The video world premiered on MTV on March 3, 1989, it later went on to win the Viewer's Choice Award at the 1989 MTV Video Music Awards. The video topped MTV's countdown of "100 Videos That Broke The Rules" in 2005, and for the 25th The 100 Top Music Videos" and #2 on VH1's 100 Greatest Videos.
