Cyndi Lauper

[shadowhillway]

Cyndi is the best!!! To me, she is the Miles of what she does. Long varied career, always doing something different, rooted in the blues, don't take shit from nobody on the outside but as human as anyone inside. Not to mention they're both native Noo Yawkers.

Put Fathead Newman on that list as well!

She put out two very nice albums with good original songs. Then what happened? I was expecting more.

John: Assuming the three of the five are in fact new to you, there's something to like or love in each of them IMHO.

Also a native Noo Yawker - Toshiko Akiyoshi.

For me "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" is like "So What", "Footprints", and "A Night in Tunisia". They're classics but I would be happy never to hear them again. Covers of "Tunisia" are the most egregious offenders.
