Robert Fripp and Toyah Willcox cover Living Colour’s ‘Cult Of Personality’
nme.comKing Crimson founder Robert Fripp and his wife, singer Toyah Willcox, have shared a cover of Living Colour’s ‘Cult Of Personality’ – watch it below.The cover is a part of the pair’s ‘Sunday Lunch’ video series which was launched in 2020.
The series has so far seen the couple share renditions of songs by Ramones, Nirvana, David Bowie, Metallica, Billy Idol, The Rolling Stones, Judas Priest, The Prodigy, Guns N’ Roses, Alice Cooper and many more through Willcox’s YouTube channel.In recent weeks, they’ve covered Neil Young’s ‘Rockin’ In The Free World’, ‘Bullet With Butterfly Wings’ by the Smashing Pumpkins and Kaiser Chiefs‘ ‘I Predict A Riot’; last week’s cover saw the pair deliver their take on Red Hot Chili Peppers’ ‘Can’t Stop.This week though, the pair have revisited Living Colour’s ‘Cult Of Personality’.
The hard rock song was originally released in 1988 with Willcox and Fripp covering the track at the start of last month as a display of solidarity with Ukraine, following the invasion by Russia.
This new take is a slightly more joyful affair, with a hand-painted Living Colour sign in the background of their kitchen alongside a peace sign, though Willcox can still be seen clutching a toy gun.“We take another look at this belter of a song,” reads the caption of the video.
