Summary

Media data and Non-free use rationale
Description	The cover art to the 1987 Roy Orbison and k.d. lang duet "Crying". The cover's copyright is believed to belong to the label, Virgin Records, or the graphics artist.
Author or copyright owner	Virgin Records
Source (WP:NFCC#4)	Original publication: 1987 Immediate source: https://www.discogs.com/Roy-Orbison-kd-lang-Crying/master/276218
Use in article (WP:NFCC#7)	Crying (Roy Orbison song)
Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8)	This file will display the cover artwork to the 1987 cover of Roy Orbison's song "Crying" by Orbison and k.d. lang. Main infobox. The image is used for identification in the context of critical commentary of the work for which it serves as cover art. It makes a significant contribution to the user's understanding of the article, which could not practically be conveyed by words alone. The image is placed in the infobox at the top of the article discussing the work, to show the primary visual image associated with the work, and to help the user quickly identify the work and know they have found what they are looking for. Use for this purpose does not compete with the purposes of the original artwork, namely the artist's providing graphic design services to music concerns and in turn marketing music to the public.
Not replaceable with free media because (WP:NFCC#1)	As a musical cover art, the image is not replaceable by free content; any other image that shows the packaging of the music would also be copyrighted, and any version that is not true to the original would be inadequate for identification or commentary.
Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3)	This file will only be used inside the appropriate infobox of the article for "Crying".
Respect for commercial opportunities (WP:NFCC#2)	Many other copies of this file can be found on the internet, and this cover will help distinguish this rendition of "Crying" from other renditions, other Roy Orbison or k.d. lang songs, and songs by different artists also called "Crying".
