Although not a musically or lyrically complex song, "Cry" is intensely beautiful, and expressive, and will always remain one of my favorites. The video was groundbreaking at the time, and if you can get past the creepiness factor of it, it's quite stunning, and some of the facial expressions are amazing...as an artist, I truly appreciate that.
Godley & Creme were an English rock duo composed of Kevin Godley and Lol Creme. The pair began releasing albums as a duo after splitting from the pop band 10cc. In 1979 they directed their first music video for their own single "An Englishman in New York". After this, they became involved in directing videos for such artists as Ultravox, The Police, Duran Duran, Frankie Goes To Hollywood and Wang Chung, as well as directing the ground-breaking promo for their own "Cry" in 1985. The duo split at the end of the 1980s and have both been involved in music videos, TV commercials, and sporadic music projects since.
