Cyndi Lauper | Introduction
In 1983, Sherman's song, "He's So Unusual" was chosen as the title song of Cyndi Lauper's signature album, "She's So Unusual". "She's So Unusual" catapulted Lauper to stardom with such hits as "Girls Just Want To Have Fun", "She Bop" and "Time After Time". Lauper's rendition of "He's So Unusual" was a clear homage to the original 1920s production, even going so far as to feature scratches and hisses on the track, making it sound even more like the original 78 record. "She's So Unusual" won its sole Grammy Award in the category of Best Album Package, the concept of which clearly finding foundation on the title of the Sherman's song.

John Rockwell wrote that the song was "a giddily upbeat attestation to female pleasure that simultaneously made a feminist statement, fulfilled male fantasies and—especially in its often-played video version—evoked the warmth of family and friends." The video for "Girls" won the first-ever Best Female Video prize at the 1984 VMAs. It featured a multicultural cast of women with teased, sideways hair and neon eye shadow, singing alongside Lauper. She was the first woman to have four Top 5 hits from a debut album, the first woman to win the composing category solo during the 2013 Tony Awards and one of only four women to have won competitive Grammy, Emmy and Tony awards.

On October 14, 1983, Lauper released her first solo album, "She's So Unusual". The album became a worldwide hit, peaking at No. 4 in the U.S. and reaching the top five in eight other countries. The primary studio musicians were Eric Bazilian and Rob Hyman (of The Hooters), Rick Chertoff, Richard Termini and Peter Wood. Lauper became popular with teenagers and critics, in part due to her hybrid punk image, which was crafted by stylist Patrick Lucas. Lauper co-wrote four songs on "She's So Unusual", including the hits "Time After Time" and "She Bop". On the songs she did not write, Lauper sometimes changed the lyrics.

Cyndi Lauper | Introduction
In his review for Allmusic, music critic Stephen Thomas Erlewine gave the album four out of five stars and said that it succeeds as a greatest hits collection, but felt that apart from "True Colors" and "Change of Heart", all of Lauper's best and most successful songs are already on "She's So Unusual", which he said is "a more consistent and entertaining album." Robert Christgau gave the album a "C" grade and similarly felt that Lauper's subsequent material was inferior.

Time After Time (Cyndi Lauper song) | Accolades
The album ranked at #41 on "Rolling Stone"s list of Women Who Rock: The 50 Greatest Albums of All Time in 2012. "Rolling Stone's" review stated, "A wild and wonderful skyrocket of a voice... Lauper's extraordinary pipes connect with the right material, the results sound like the beginning of a whole new golden age." Thirty years after its release, the album was praised as 'everlasting' and a 'once-in-a-lifetime album'. Her iconic cover and re-arrangement of "Girls Just Want to Have Fun" established her as 'a feminist idol'. Sheila Moeschen argued that the song 'embodied a different kind of feminine aesthetic that ran counter to the raw sensuality and edginess of her contemporaries like Madonna or veteran rockers Joan Jett and Pat Benatar' that introduced 'a nation of women to a new kind of female role model, one that celebrated difference and encouraged playfulness in self-expression'.
Cyndi Lauper | Legacy
Lauper was described by AllMusic's Lindsay Planer as "an iconoclastic vocalist who revolutionized the role of women in rock and roll." Over her 40-year career, she influenced multiple recording artists including Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, Vanessa Paradis, Tegan and Sara, and Yelle. Due to her success and influence Lauper has been inducted into both the Hollywood and Songwriters Hall of Fame. Stephen Thomas Erlewine of Spotify notes that "She's So Unusual" and her distinctive idiosyncratic appearance "helped popularize the image of punk and new wave for America, making it an acceptable part of the pop landscape". "Rolling Stone" magazine stated that her debut was "arguably the first time explicitly punk-influenced elements were front-and-center on the pop landscape, both musically and via Lauper's Patrick Lucas-styled ensembles, dressing up the droll Reagan decade in feminist chutzpah." The album ranked at #487 on "Rolling Stone"s list of 500 Greatest Albums of All Time in 2003.

Robert Christgau was less enthusiastic in his review for "The Village Voice". He found "Fast Car" and "Mountains o' Things" very perceptive and Chapman an innately gifted singer but was disappointed by the presence of "begged questions" and "naive left-folkie truisms" such as "Talkin' 'bout a Revolution" and "Why": "She's too good for such condescension ... Get real, girl."

Such is the case with "Girls Just Want to Have Fun". Lauper found the original lyrics to be misogynistic, so she rewrote the song as an anthem for young women. The album's second single, "Time After Time", co-written by Lauper and Rob Hyman, hit No. 1 on both the "Billboard" Hot 100 and Adult Contemporary charts. The song would earn Lauper an RIAA Gold certification for record sales that reached 500,000 copies, and was later covered by Miles Davis on his album "You're Under Arrest". It became a staple of Davis's live shows at the time, featuring on the live album "Live Around the World".

The album sold moderately well but did not compare to the multi-platinum sales of her two previous albums, despite the success of the album's lead single, "I Drove All Night", which became a Top 10 hit, earning Lauper a Grammy nomination. In the UK, however, "A Night to Remember" was Lauper's highest charting album, peaking at No.9. Critically, the album was met with mixed-to-poor reviews, with "Rolling Stone", "The Chicago Tribune" and the "Los Angeles Times" all singling out Lauper's voice as a strong point, while noting the material was inconsistent. Other reviewers were more harsh: "The New York Times" criticized "A Night to Remember"'s "anonymous vocals, songs full of submissive cliches and slapdash production", while "The Village Voice", in comparing the album to Lauper's previous work, declared "How embarrassing to have placed hope in this woman." 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 Wolf⁠ during the production of the album.

"Village Voice" critic Robert Christgau said, "in themselves the words are much funnier and trickier than the sociospiritual bullshit of Maurice White or Kenny Gamble; as validated by the wit, pace, and variety of the music, they come close to redeeming the whole genre."
