Over the course of the last several decades, few artists in music have made such an impact on not just the music industry, but the arts as a whole. Through visually vibrant fashion statements, eye-catching music videos and vocally and lyrically inspiring hit singles and albums, pop icon Cyndi Lauper has become more than just a pin-up artist of the eighties; she has transcended into one of the most iconic musicians in entertainment.
Her music has traversed several borders over the years; from her early pop beginnings, Lauper has ventured into Jazz, Blues and Dance terrain; mastering each as she has tackled material usually only reserved for the greats of the respective genres.
