The third full-length studio album by legendary American Pop singer.
The album was originally set to be released in 1988, under the name "Kindred Spirit", but was delayed until 1989 and the songs from the initial project were reworked.
On "True Colors", Cyndi Lauper began to edge her way into adult contemporary territory, but it was on "A Night To Remember" that she concentrated all of her attention on becoming a self-consciously "mature" singer/songwriter.
Although the album is called "A Night To Remember", Lauper jokingly preferred to call it "A Night To Forget", given its poor reviews and disappointing sales, compounded by the problems she encountered with producer and boyfriend David Wolff during the production of the album.
The album sold moderately well but did not enjoy the same commercial success of her two previous albums, despite the success of the album's lead Single, "I Drove All Night", which became a Top 10 hit, her last in the U.S.A., earning Lauper a Grammy nomination. In the UK, however, "A Night To Remember" was Lauper's highest-charting album, peaking at No.9. According to the book "St. James Encyclopedia of Popular Culture (Volume 3)", the album sold half a million copies in the United States in 1989.
Although not certified by RIAA, BPI, and others trade associations, the album was certified Platinum in Australia and United Kingdom and Gold in Germany, Italy, and United States. Worldwide, the album has sold more than 1.5 million copies.

One of the great New Wave/early MTV records, "She's So Unusual" is a giddy mix of self-confidence, effervescent Pop craft, unabashed sentimentality, subversiveness, and clever humour. In short, it's a multifaceted portrait of a multifaceted talent, an artist that's far more clever than her thin, deliberately girly voice would indicate.
"She's So Unusual" peaked at number four on the Billboard 200 chart, due to the success of the album's first Single on U.S. radio and heavy airplay of its music video on MTV. In the weeks following, the album's sales remained stable thanks to the following four singles and Lauper's world tour and appearances on popular television and radio programs. Overall, the album stayed 77 weeks on the Billboard 200. It became one of the best-selling albums of 1984. At least until 1986, the album was the second best-selling album in Canada by a female artist during the decade, behind Whitney Houston's self-titled debut album, selling more than 900,000 copies. "She's So Unusual" has since sold over seven million copies in the United States, where it was certified seven times Platinum by the RIAA. The album has sold over 16 million copies worldwide.
"She's So Unusual" was voted the eleventh best album of the year in The Village Voice's annual Pazz & Jop critics' poll for 1984. The album and its Singles earned Lauper six Grammy Award nominations, including Album of the Year and ultimately winning the awards for Best Recording Package and Best New Artist. "Girls Just Want to Have Fun" was nominated for Record of the Year and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance, and "Time After Time" was nominated for Song of the Year. Lauper earned ten MTV Video Music Award nominations. "Girls Just Want to Have Fun" received six nominations, including Video of the Year, and won for Best Female Video. "Time After Time" received three nominations and "She Bop" received one nomination.
"She's So Unusual" was ranked at number 494 on Rolling Stone's list of the "500 Greatest Albums of All Time" in 2003, rising to number 487 in a 2012 update of the list, then to number 184 in a 2020 update. Rolling Stone also placed "She's So Unusual" at number 41 on its 2002 list of "50 Essential Albums by Women in Rock", and the record retained the placement on a similar list published by the magazine a decade later. In 2012, Slant Magazine listed it as the 22nd Best Album of the 1980s, calling it an "absolutely peerless collection of profound Pop jewels". In 2019, the Library of Congress selected "She's So Unusual" for preservation in the National Recording Registry for being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".

This DVD very popular with Cyndi Lauper fans, and it is well worth tracking down for casual fans too. It collects 12 of her best videos and puts them in the context of Lauper revisiting her hometown (actually Coney Island) while she discusses the importance of music in her life.
Of course, the collection starts with "Girls Just Want to Have Fun," her most popular hit. The transfer quality on this DVD is quite good, which makes all her videos shine. Twelve Deadly Cyns presents evidence that Lauper was, in fact, one of the important video auteurs of the early '80s. "She Bop" was a challenging song about onanism (and so says the DVD!) and the video was quite quirky and wonderful. Her re-recording of "Hey Now (Girls Just Want to Have Fun)" is a little too obvious, with its gay message clear in the first five seconds. Though no one has ever accused Lauper of being subtle, Twelve Deadly Cyns makes the case that there was more to her musically than people gave her credit for. Other videos include "I Drove All Night," "Money Changes Everything," and "True Colors."
In addition to all of Lauper's music videos to date, the DVD included interview footage shot in and around Coney Island. A written bio is also included as an extra.
Do yourself a favour and check out "Twelve Deadly Cyns" — this is a solid video collection with a surprisingly large number of good quality songs!
The DVD peaked at #12 on Billboard Top Music Videos.

It is the first Single from from Lauper’s debut album, “She's So Unusual”.
"Girls Just Want to Have Fun" was written in 1979 by Rock musician Robert Hazard, who performed it with various bands in the Philadelphia area, and enjoyed some local college radio airplay with a demo recording he made. Hazard wrote it as a Rock song coming from the male perspective. Singer-songwriter Cyndi Lauper made this song famous in 1983 by as a Pop-Electronic song. Lauper "flipped the script" and made it carry a feminist attitude by subtly changing some of the lyrics and fully the sound. Lauper's version gained recognition as a feminist anthem and was promoted by an MTV Video Music Award–winning music video. It has been covered by more than 30 other artists.
The single was Lauper's breakthrough hit, reaching No. 2 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart and becoming a worldwide hit throughout late 1983 and early 1984. It is considered one of Lauper's signature songs and was a popular song during the 1980s.
The lists "Rolling Stone and MTV: '100 Greatest Pop Songs': 1–50", "Rolling Stone: The 100 Top Music Videos" and "VH1: 100 Greatest Videos" ranked the song at No. 22, No. 39 and No. 45 respectively. The song received Grammy nominations for Record of the Year and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance at the 27th Annual Grammy Awards.
The song's success overshadowed Hazard's own music career. His 1984 album, "Wing Of Fire" was a sales disappointment at the same time that Lauper's version of "Girls Just Want To Have Fun" was going Gold, making him a millionaire. After Lauper claimed in interviews to have co-written the song, Hazard served her with a cease and desist letter. He was able to buy a New Jersey lake house and a horse farm from the song's royalties, although he said that federal taxes took most of the money.
Lauper released a new version, "Hey Now (Girls Just Want to Have Fun)", as the first Single from her 1994 compilation album "Twelve Deadly Cyns... and Then Some". It reached the top 10 in several countries. In 2013, "Girls Just Want to Have Fun" was remixed by Yolanda Be Cool for the 30th-anniversary reissue of "She's So Unusual".
