Spotlight on Cyndi Lauper, '80s Free-Spirited Icon

When considering the '80s output of Cyndi Lauper during the past week, I was struck with how much more talented she is as a singer and songwriter than I ever believed back in the day. I wonder if such an underestimation might be somewhat rampant among other '80s music fans out there, perhaps as the result of an erroneous belief that Lauper's memorable look was the most interesting thing about her. If so, be prepared to be challenged as you check out my profile of this singular '80s artist and explore her top songs from that period. If not, take some time today to revel in your sharp powers of observation... smart-ass.
