My first "job" in life was staining my parents' new deck so I could earn money to buy She's So Unusual. Cyndi was panned, at the time, as a one hit wonder and talentless. She proved those people wrong and is one of the few celebrities who remained true to their mantra from the beginning; "just be yourself...who cares what anyone thinks". She followed this "one hit wonder" of an album with "True Colors". The song was and is still about an entire group of people who are struggling and dying. It is an anthem to them. Be true to yourself. I last saw her during her blues tour. So many people were using their phones she stopped and said, hey, fine, take pictures and video and post it but you'll never be here in the moment to appreciate it. Cyndi Lauper is a true American inspiration (and we don't have many). She's true, honest, kind, talented and tells one hilarious story.
Great singer, great song. Her album "Bring Ya To The Brink" brought again the great style of her first 3 albums and I love it very much. Not only "Into The Nightlife" but also "Echo", "Rocking Chair" etc. a lot of great songs. It's like the 80's were back again. I love Cyndi Lauper.
I loved cyndi when people didn’t think she was going anywhere, she was unusual and quirky and eccentric and most of all she was having fun and didn’t care what people thought. Oh and the she sing my God she could sing and she still sounds the same!!
