Cyndi Lauper - True Colors

It's very easy to only see a ridiculous-looking singer in weird outfits in Cyndi Lauper's video for her 1986 hit "True Colors", but what an amazing song this is! Written by hitmakers Tom Kelly and Billy Steinberg, who also penned hits for Madonna, Bangles, Whitney Houston and others, it might be Lauper's finest ballad, eclipsing "Time After Time" which is also a masterpiece. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this recording, it just makes me feel incredibly good - every time I hear it. Classic!
