Starting her career as a singer in Manhattan's clubs, Cyndi Lauper began writing her own material when she met pianist John Turi in 1977. They formed Blue Angel and released a self-titled album in 1980. She split with Turi and in 1983 began working on what was to become her multi-million-selling solo debut, "She's So Unusual." It made number 4 in the USA and provided four hit singles – the exuberant "Girls Just Want To Have Fun",which became a cult anthem for independent young women; "Time After Time", "She Bop" and "All Through The Night". The album also featured Prince's "When You Were Mine."
At the end of 1984 Billboard magazine placed Cyndi Lauper first in the Top Female Album Artists and she was awarded a Grammy as Best New Artist. "True Colors" did not have the same commercial edge as its predecessor, yet the title track still provided her with an US number 1 and a Top 20 hit in the UK. The follow-up, "Change Of Heart" (written by Essra Mohawk and featuring the Bangles), reached US number 3 in November 1986. In 1988, Cyndi Lauper took a role as a beautician in the film, "Vibes." She made a brief return to the charts in 1990 with the US/UK Top 10 single "I Drove All Night" from "A Night To Remember." Another film appearance in "Off And Running" was not seen in the UK until two years later.
Lauper was joined by her former writing partners Ron Hyman and Eric Bazilian for "Hat Full Of Stars," a successful mix of soul/pop/hip-hop with a smattering of ethnic/folk. A reworked version of her biggest hit, retitled "Hey Now (Girls Just Want To Have Fun)," reached number 4 in the UK charts in September 1994. In 1998, she recorded the album "Merry Christmas, Have A Nice Life," her final release for Sony Records.
