Cyndi Lauper "What's Going On" 12" Single (1987)

Details: Cyndi Lauper emotive cover of the Marvin Gaye classic, "What's Going On," from True Colors, as a 12" 4-track single released on Portrait in 1987. NM condition. Still in shrink, but opened, hype sticker on front. Previous owner kept in great condition.

Description: "As the song proceeds, Lauper stops being shaped by it and starts shaping it, sending out sure scats and playing call and response with her overdubbed background voice. Neil Jason’s massaging bass supports her as she takes control and turns the song into both an elegy for Gaye and a respectful reminder that the fifteen-year-old song is still all too relevant."--Rolling Stone
