With a career that spans some 40 years, the debut album by Cyndi Lauper was a smash. The first female debut album to chart four top five singles is remarkable. Selling more than 50 million albums and and 20 million singles this Grammy, Tony, and Emmy winning singer-songwriter is a joy to see live and sets a standard in music that people chase today. Please put your hands together and enjoy the music, and maybe the rhetoric.
