She’s So Unusual
Cyndi Lauper is unique and brought something fresh to the music world. She was inspired by the punk scene in New York City, dressing in a style that could be defined as funky and dying her hair bright colors. Naturally, her debut album had a title that wasn’t too far from this – it was named She’s So Unusual.

Lauper has created some of the biggest “bops” in music history. She’s creative enough to land one of the highest honors in the music world; in 1985, she won the Grammy award for Best New Artist! This is an honor for any musician, but it must have been extra special coming to someone so new in the industry.
