The Tan CYNDILAUPER TO APPEAR IN THE ECen SUNDAY, 8:00 P M ^ The time for Cyndi Lauper is now. With the release of She’s So Unusual, her debut album on Portrait Records, this veteran New York rocker comes into her own with ten tracks of vibrant, heartfelt pop-rock. It’s a sound that is firmly rooted in the best American musical traditions, but with an eye (and ear) for the technological advances of today. From choice covers like the Brains’ “ ” and Prince’s “ When You Were Mine” to such expressive originals as “ Time After Tim e” and “ I’ll Kiss You,” a portrait of the artist emerges: fun- loving, quick-witted, salty but but sensitive. In short, Cyndi Lauper’s got soul. Her story began in Brooklyn, New York, where Cyndi was “ almost born in a taxicab, on the way to Boulevard Hospital in Queens.” (These circumstances may account for the singer’s life-long infatuation with Hollywood and all its glorious dramatic cliches.) Her parents were divorced when Cyndi was five and she was raised by her Italian mother in a home where individual creativity was strongly encouraged. Her earliest performances were for the old ladies in her neighborhood, singing songs for quarters. As the Fifties gave way to the Sixties, rock and roll found a ready convert in Cyndi Lauper. “ I also painted and wrote poetry, but always sang and had a good memory for words and melodies.” Cyndi attended several arts-oriented high schools, but was invariably swayed from her studies by the cultural attractions of the day. She had taken up guitar at 12 and began writing songs with her sister; she continued to play and write in a folkie style through high school. “ I didn’t get into a rock and roll band until after I’d gone to college for a year. That was also when I first discovered I had some Cyndi Lauper harmonics in my voice. They’re kind of like whistle notes, and you can hear them on this new album. ” In the mid ’70s, Cyndi started paying her dues as a The A.S. Program Board vocalist with various bands in and around New York. In other people’s songs. But for She's So Unusual, producer 1977, Cyndi met saxophonist and keyboard player John Rick Chertoff and I selected songs that enabled me to keep Security Committee my integrity and that meant something to me. And I wrote Turi and broke with the cover-band circuit for good.
