One of the lesser-known single from Whitney Houston's early career. "So Emotional" is a song recorded by American pop/ R&B singer Whitney Houston . The song was the third single from her second album Whitney , and was released on November 12, 1987. "So Emotional" was written by Billy Steinberg and Tom Kelly , who also penned Madonna 's " Like a Virgin ", Cyndi Lauper 's " True Colors ", Heart 's " Alone ", and The Bangles " Eternal Flame ", all of which reached #1 on the charts. The song centers on [...]
I snapped this just last week. How…timely. Cyndi Lauper & Sarah McLachlan : Time After Time [ purchase ] Cassandra Wilson : Time After Time [ purchase ] Here's a 1983 classic that always seems more recent to me than it is…I have to remember that the 80s were 30-ish years ago. A boatload of covers exist for this song [...]
It is with a heavy heart that the music industry, and the world, says goodbye to one of the greatest female vocalists of all time today. Etta James , the legendary soul singer most famously known for her 1960 rendition of the softly swaying love song "At Last," passed away in California on Friday (January 20) after a years-long battle with leukemia. James' impact has reverberated through nearly six decades of pop music and will continue to influence future generations of musicians, as evidenced by the umpteen covers of her hits by artists and reality TV talent competition hopefuls [...]
Filed under: News Getty Images Cyndi Lauper recently joined a growing list of artists who have had their songs used in political ads or campaigns without permission. Earlier this week Lauper found out her song 'True Colors' was placed in an online ad discrediting Republican Presidential candidate Mitt Romney. "Got a phone call saying my version of True Colors was used in commercial trashing Romney," Lauper said in a string of tweets [...]
I was planning on posting one more Star Wars LP, an audio story called Rebel Mission To Ord Mantell . However, it turns out you can get that right here . Why don't you just do that instead if you're interested in Star Wars? I'm more interested in posting some bloody music tonight. Winter. It sucks doesn't it? If you live in the Midwest (which is reason enough to be depressed), tonight you're probably bracing for your first big winter storm. That's never fun. And I don't know about you, but I've been reading [...]

The Twin Cities are a breeding ground for indie rock. So how does pop-punk band Quietdrive fit into the music scene? It turns out quite well, by carving their own niche. With a band name derived
Sometimes, when I'm wide awake in dreamland (to quote the title of one of Pat Benatar's '80s albums, her final one to go gold), I fantasize about a world where Benatar is a chart superstar again. But that's one dream that won't likely be coming true. I once had a conversation with a publicist for EMI Records, an affiliate of Benatar's then-label, Chrysalis Records (a publicist who, incidentally, later married Curt Smith from Tears for Fears, speaking of comebacks that would be most welcome) right around the time that Benatar's 1993 Gravity's Rainbow album flopped. [...]
GLEE can't come up with any new ideas, so they start ripping off other artists' covers of songs, namely Greg Laswells cover of Cyndi Laupers "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun."
The Hives and Cyndi Lauper: A Christmas Duel [ purchase ] Yes, the 2008 release date makes this post a rule-breaker. But it was a single, and too explicit to play on the radio; it got no reception whatsoever, as far as I can tell, and thus, it meets the general spirit of obscurity here - i.e., most folks have never heard it. As such, in the spirit of the season, and of punk in general, I'm sharing anyway, just this once. And you just [...]
Filed under: News , Exclusive , Rock Hall , Q + A Amanda Edwards, Getty Images "Girls just wanna have fun, but some of us wanna be in a rock band too!" So said Cyndi Lauper when she hosted the new PBS documentary 'Women Who Rock.' Packed with classic concert footage, artist interviews and intelligent commentary, the film pays tribute to the women who invented rock and roll, shaped it and [...]
Some time ago a friend, who is now well on the way to owning his own island (or perhaps a gellato shop in Costa Rica), summed up his previous life as a slave to the corporate world with one single word. "Demeaning." I suppose that, with so many people not having a gig since the grown-ups crashed the economy in a quest for each and every last dollar, it could be considered poor form to admit that I agreed with his assessment. (of course, it is disconcerting to know that, if you do [...]

This week we find out the winner of the class president election, something shocking happens in regard to Sectionals, Santana "Officially" comes out to Sue, Becky and her grandma, and Bieste finds out that her football recruiter/boyfriend is also getting it on with Sue. Oh and more, but I can't give it all away! Here is a cute preview and below you can hear all the songs, in full web-rip formation: "Constant Craving" sung by Naya Rivera (Santana) and Idina Menzel [...]
Listen to a selection of new holiday covers by artists like Norah Jones, Rogue Wave, Joshua Hyslop, Bowling for Soup, and more.
Birmingham five-piece The Arcadian Kicks recently released their newest single, "You Play the Girl". This new offering is a noticeable step towards the mainstream for them, at least compared to the neo-psychedelic organ infusions of past efforts like "I Can't Sleep". However, they haven't lost their roots, still carrying a sound packed with wailing guitars
Un tempo, quando si parlava di Cyndi Lauper , non mancava mai l'ombra incalzante di un'altra sua collega (di cui volentieri omettiamo il nome), alla quale la cantautrice americana è stata spesso paragonata durante la sua carriera, non per esaltarne i pregi, quanto per minimizzarne il talento, rilegandola al ruolo di clone, di "seconda arrivata". In realtà, Cyndi Lauper ha fatto il suo ingresso sulle scene qualche anno prima della sua ben più fortunata collega (anche la "fortuna", nel senso di "letteraria", varia a seconda dei punti di vista). In troppi, ancora oggi, sono rimasti bloccati in quel 1983 [...]
