Cyndi Lauper Tickets Continued
Her truly great four-octave singing range, perfect pitch, and a totally unique singing
style convinced experts of her future stardom.
Then in 1981, while singing in a local New York bar, Cyndi Lauper met David
Wolff, who took over as her manager and got her signed with Portrait Records, a subsidiary
of Columbia Records. In late 1983, She's So Unusual was released, which became a
worldwide hit and made Cyndi Lauper a household name. The album was a mixture
of teen-friendly pop-rock, synthesized dance music, punk-edged vocals and a mainstream
New Wave sound. The lead-off single was "Girls Just Want to Have Fun", which quickly
established itself as a female anthem, and its accompanying video proved very popular on
MTV.
Cyndi Lauper started out 1985 by participating on USA for Africa's famine-relief
fund-raising single, "We Are the World" and ended the year as a big winner at the Grammy
Awards. She released her second album, True Colors, in September 1986, revealing
a more mature sound and sensibility, it reached number four on the Billboard 200. For this
album, she wanted to be taken more seriously and increased her involvement both in
production and songwriting.
Cyndi Lauper's latest album The Body Acoustic, was released in 2005
and featured acoustic reinterpretations of tracks from her back catalog as well as two new
songs. Since the album's release, Cyndi Lauper's star has been on the rise yet
again, especially in Canada. She continues to tour the world performing live and is noted as
an energetic live performer. Despite not having released a proper follow-up album to 1997's
Sisters of Avalon, she has maintained a devoted dedicated fanbase and lives in New
York with her husband and their son.
