Money, money changes everything

October 14, 1983
Cyndi Lauper, formerly a member of the group Blue Angel, issues her first solo album, She’s So Unusual. With the MTV hits Girls Just Want To Have Fun and Time After Time, the album becomes an ‘80s touchstone.

On the strength of her breakout solo album She’s So Unusual, Lauper won the Grammy for Best New Artist in 1984. She won four more Grammy Awards in 1986, including one for her work on the collaboration fundraiser song We Are The World. In total, her recordings have garnered six wins and 13 nominations at the Grammy Awards.
