Fifteen years since her breakout album She’s So Unusual, Cyndi Lauper has reinvented herself. Her remake of The Trammps’ classic “Disco Inferno” (Jellybean) and an opening slot on Cher’s high-profile summer tour have put Lauper back in the limelight – this time in the dance community. As the Soul Solution-produced “Disco Inferno” continued to impress [...]
And in the WHERE ARE THEY NOW section, there was as well a mention of Cyndi: CYNDI LAUPER Cyndi was the girl with the broken-chalk-on-blackboard voice, the kooky clothes, and the posse made up of wrestling managers. Then Madonna came along with the same account at the jumble store and stole her thunder. As idiosyncratic [...]
In 1977 disco is hot everywhere you go, and everytime you step out on the dance floor, one song rings as the anthem, “Disco Inferno” by the Tramps.

Lauper views this road show much as she did a similar assignment two summers ago when she was tapped as opener for Tina Turner. “When you [...]
After what has already been a remarkably accomplished career spanning two decades of pop music, music videos, and television/film acting, the forty-something Grammy Award winning diva and new mother isn’t quitting or resting on her laurels. Instead, she’s turning up the heat with a club-savvy revamp of the ’70′s classic “Disco Inferno” and guest starring [...]
His arms waving wildly the man sitting at the bar finished the story with which he had been flirtatiously haranguing the tolerant bartender for several minutes “and she just grabbed her shirt and lifted it up to show her big round tummy right there on stage and she said am i showing ?” He laughed [...]
Two years ago, while on tour with Tina Turner, Cyndi Lauper was a pregnant diva. Now, a mom (to son Declyn), she’s back on the road again, this time with Cher. Hew new dance single “Disco Inferno ’99″ (Jellybean Records) has the potential to be the dance anthem of what has started out to be [...]
LOS ANGELES – Cyndi Lauper’s latest hair color is blue. More than 15 years since this spunky songbird from Queens, N.Y., burst onto the music scene with wild orange hair, punk/retro-wear outfits, and the revolutionary idea that Girls Just Want to Have Fun, Lauper’s style is still uncompromising.
