Cyndi released this track in 1980 with her former band Blue Angel. When I first heard what she does with her voice at the end of this song, I couldn't believe my ears. When she transposed on the word "Cry", my disbelief grew, and when that final note came I thought: surely, she isn't gonna....? But she did. And she did it in such a heart-wrenching way that it left me completely gutted. Every time I've listened to it since, it has given me goosebumps all over. Not only is her vocal bordering on the insane technically, it also drips with emotion and that's what makes her a true singer. Sorry for gushing.

Sadly, her later re-recordings of the song don't come close to this, in my opinion.
