Cyndi Lauper at The Paradise: No Fun

Cyndi Lauper, Comeback Kid
CYNDI LAUPER has grown up. Once in danger of becoming the ’80s answer to Betty Boop, New York’s multi-platinum sweetheart has returned from the wilderness with an album guaranteed to surprise.

Lauper Shakes Her Bad Vibes
Singer sets return with ‘A Night to Remember’ A NOT-SO-FUNNY THING Happened to Cyndi Lauper on the way to completing her new album, A Night to Remember: She made a movie.

Cyndi Lauper Tries to Buy Success: No Sale
Can it really be nearly six years since Cyndi Lauper erupted with her debut album, “She’s So Unusual”? That album presented an artist with unlimited promise.
