True Colors, the song




True Colors (1986) Cyndi Lauper

This is probably her best record sleeve, even better than "Whats Going On" with the Man Ray tribute. I don't know which side I like better- the full black and white or the one with the rainbow oil slick.

Lauper has put out some cool B-sides:

"Right Train, Wrong Track" (from "Girls Just Wanna have Fun")
"Unabreviated Love" (from "My First Night Without You")
"Cold" (from "Who Let in the Rain")

But I think "Heading for the Moon" is the best. It's super-gay, but it's cool at the same time.

She must love "Witness", by the way; I think it's been used as a B-side about 35 times.
