Cyndi Lauper at the Ö÷²¥´óÐã

This trip through the Ö÷²¥´óÐã’s archives captures why Cyndi Lauper became, and remains, one of the most positive female forces in modern pop music.

A celebration of the songs of Cyndi Lauper, who took the charts by storm in 1984 with her debut international hit Girls Just Wanna Have Fun, released in the same week as Madonna’s first hit, Holiday. Cyndi surprised the critics of the day almost immediately and showed she deserved so much more than labels like ‘kooky’ and ‘quirky’, with sensitive songs like Time After Time and True Colors that still resonate as strongly today as they did back in the 1980s. This trip through the Ö÷²¥´óÐã’s archives follows Cyndi’s journey from the start, and captures why she became, and remains, one of the most positive female forces in modern pop music.
