Iggy Pop sings with Cat Power on a cover of the song “Working Class Hero” for an upcoming tribute album to English musician Marianne Faithfull.
“Working Class Hero” was originally written by John Lennon and recorded by Faithfull for her 1979 album, Broken English. On their version, Iggy’s gravelly, almost spoken word delivery contrasts with Cat Power’s ethereal vocals.
You can listen to the Pop/Power “Working Class Hero” cover streaming now on YouTube.
The tribute album, titled The Faithful, is due out December 8. It will support Marianne, 76, as she continues to battle with long COVID. She was hospitalized with COVID-19 at the beginning of the pandemic in 2020.
