career has spanned over 40 years. Her album She's So Unusual(1983)
was the first debut album by a female artist to achieve four top-five hits on
the Billboard Hot 100—"Girls Just
Want to Have Fun", "Time After
Time", "She Bop",
and "All Through the Night"—and
earned Lauper the Best New
Artist award at the 27th Annual
Grammy Awards in 1985. Her success continued with
the soundtrack for the motion
picture The Goonies and her
second record True Colors (1986). This album included the number one single "True Colors" and
"Change of Heart",
which peaked at number three. In 1989, she had a hit with "I Drove All
Night".
Since
1983, Lauper has released eleven studio albums and participated in many other
projects. In 2010, Memphis Blues became Billboard's most successful blues album of the year,
remaining at number one on the Billboard Blues Albums chart for 13 consecutive
weeks. In 2013, she won the Tony Award for best original score for composing
the Broadway musical Kinky Boots,
making her the first woman to win the category by herself. The musical was
awarded five other Tonys including Tony Award for Best New Musical. In 2014,
Lauper was awarded the Grammy Award for Best Musical Theater Album for the cast
recording. In 2016, the West End production won Best
New Musical at the Olivier Awards.
Lauper has sold over 50 million records
worldwide. She has won awards at the Grammys,
Emmys, Tonys, the New
York's Outer Critics Circle, MTV Video
Music Awards (VMAs), Billboard Awards,
and American
Music Awards(AMAs). An inductee into both the
Songwriters
Hall of Fame and the Hollywood
Walk of Fame, Lauper is one of the few
singers to win three of the four major American entertainment awards. She won
the inaugural Best Female Video prize at the 1984 VMAs for "Girls Just
Want to Have Fun". This music video is
recognized by MTV, VH1 and Rolling Stone as one of the greatest music videos of the era. She is featured in
the Rock and Roll
Hall of Fame's Women Who Rock exhibit. Her
debut album is included in Rolling Stone's
list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time,
while "Time After
Time" is included in VH1's list of the 100 Best
Songs of the Past 25 years. VH1 has ranked
Lauper Nº 58 of the 100 Greatest Women of Rock & Roll.
Lauper is known for her distinctive image,
featuring a variety of hair colors and eccentric clothing, and for her powerful
and distinctive four-octave singing range. She has been celebrated for her
humanitarian work, particularly as an advocate for LGBT rights
in the United States. Her charitable efforts were
acknowledged in 2013 when she was invited as a special guest to attend U.S.
President Barack Obama's second-term
inauguration.
A Night to Remember is the third studio album
by American recording artist Cyndi Lauper.
The album was supposed to be released in 1988, under the name Kindred Spirit but
was delayed until 1989 and the songs from the initial project were reworked. Even though the album managed to
get a top 10 hit single and sell 1.3 million copies worldwide by the end of
1989 it was seen as a disappointment by her record company. The
album was met with mixed-to-poor reviews and in interviews Lauper refers to it
as A Night to Forget.
I've got a ticket, no
turning back
My destination,
The sea of trouble, the land of pain
You're sending me where it always rains
Oh reconsider, I'm begging you, some hesitation
I'm holding on to my sanity
I feel the beginning of emergency
My hands are slipping, oh please don't let me fall into
This hole in my heart
that goes all the way to china
You gotta fill it up with love before I fall inside of,
This empty hole in my heart that goes all the way to China
And though you can't see the bottom, believe me it's a long way down
I'm on a planet
without a plan
It's oh so lonely
I need to see you to get out of here
There's something deadly in this atmosphere
I'm in a desert, without a drink of your sweet water
You're my oasis in the burning sand
I'm out of danger when you touch my hand
Throw me a lifeline, I'm standing on the edge of
This hole in my heart
that goes all the way to china
You gotta fill it up with love before I fall inside of,
This empty hole in my heart that goes all the way to China
And though you can't see the bottom, believe me it's a long way down
The gun was loaded, I
didn't know
I pulled the trigger,
I heard a noise then the room went dark
I felt the bullet going in my heart
I feel so dizzy, oh please don't let me fall, don't leave me in
This hole in my heart
that goes all the way to china
You gotta fill it up with love before I fall inside of,
This empty hole in my heart that goes all the way to China
And though you can't see the bottom, believe me it's a long way down
I've got a hole in my
heart
You've got to fill it up with love.
