Summary
The title of her first album She's So Unusual, describes Cyndi Lauper perfectly. Who else is a Grammy Award winning singer, a wrestling manager, a fashion trendsetter, and a fund-raiser for multiple sclerosis?
After a decade of struggling to succeed as a singer, Cyndi finally found success in a big way. She also found her way without having to compromise her beliefs. Cyndi's records and videos are incredibly funny and at the same time convey her ideas on women's rights.
Although Cyndi's unconventional look may be easy to copy, it would be hard to duplicate her talent, energy, and personality. It's easy to see why she became a success. Read this book you'll also find out how she did it.

On the back of the book, there is the following text:
"She's So Unusual is the debut album that catapulted Cyndi Lauper to superstardom last year. The title couldn't be more appropriate. With her multicolored hair and makeup , and her clothes that look like fashions from another planet, Cyndi Lauper has captured the hearts and minds of millions of Americans.
Last year, Cyndi broke the Beatles' long-term record. She had FIVE top-ten smash hits on her debut album: "Girls Just Want To Have Fun" "Time After Time" "All Through The Night" "She Bop" and "Money Changes Everything". She won the 1985 Grammy as the most promising artist of the year and was chosen by MS. magazine as one of the most admirable women of the year. Robert Palmer of New York Times called her singing "spectacular".
Lauper is a terrific songwriter and singer, but most remarkable of all is her ability to project personality wherever she goes, whether it's the TONIGHT show or the cover of NEWSWEEK, Lately she's gotten into the professional wrestling game as a promoter. Her strangely wonderful personality is captured perfectly in this biography illustrated with color throughout."
