Of all the concerts I've seen in my life seeing Cyndi Lauper last Autumn was easily one of the highlights, it was one of those perfect concerts. David has a wonderful review of seeing her in Birmingham here. That's what I love about my fellow pop bloggers is that they are still so passionate about the pop I grew up with.
Here's a post I did on Cyndi previously which includes her version of Strawberry Field Forever.
The songs below are ten Cyndi songs I adore:
- Who Let In The Rain
- Sally's Pigeons
- Heading West
- Time After Time
- The World Is Stone
- Change Of Heart
- True Colors
- When You Were Mine
- Into The Nightlife
and of course She Bop. This is a classic example of a pop song having controversial lyrics but at the same time not being blatantly obvious. The songwriters of today could learn a lot from artists like Cyndi. Mind you five people including Cyndi wrote the song. The video for that song is here;
This is song number 31 of my 40. Here's Cyndi on the US music show Solid Gold and a classic performance of She bop.
