"Cry" is a single by Godley & Creme released in 1985. The song reached number 16 on the Billboard charts.
The duo also directed the song's music video, which featured faces blended into each other using analog cross-fading[1], anticipating the digital effect of morphing used in a very similar way in Michael Jackson's 1991 video, "Black Or White". Years later, the "Cry" video was shown in an episode of MTV's Beavis and Butthead.
The song was also used by the television show Miami Vice in the episode "Definitely Miami" (1986).
The song was given a different structure by Australian singer Lisa Edwards in 1993, becoming a Top 5 hit. Canadian band The Philosopher Kings covered the song on their 1997 album Famous, Rich and Beautiful. It is also featured on the Grand Theft Auto IV soundtrack.
