Icon
Cyndi Lauper offers a poignant account of the journey that led her to
become an international superstar—from her years growing up in Queens,
New York, to the making of enduring hits like “Time After Time,” “Girls
Just Want to Have Fun,” and “True Colors,” to becoming an actress, a
mother, an outspoken activist, and maintaining a music career that has
lasted more than thirty years.
After leaving her childhood home
at seventeen, Cyndi took on a series of jobs: racetrack hot walker, IHOP
waitress, and, as she puts it, “gal Friday the thirteenth,” as she
pursued her passion for music. She worked her way up playing small gigs
and broke out in 1983 with She’s So Unusual, which
earned her a Grammy for Best New Artist and made her the first female
artist in history to have four top-five singles on a debut album. And
while global fame wasn’t always what she expected, she has remained
focused on what matters most. Cyndi is a gutsy real-life heroine who has
never been afraid to speak her mind and stick up for a cause—whether
it’s women’s rights, gay rights, or fighting against HIV/AIDS.
With
her trademark warmth and humor, Cyndi fearlessly writes of a life she’s
lived only on her own terms, perfect for fans of Patti Smith’s Just Kids and Billy Idol’s Dancing with Myself.
