Cyndi Lauper releases "She's So Unusual" 1983



Cyndi Lauper released her debut album She's So Unusual October 14, 1983 to rave reviews.  It sold six million albums in the U.S. making it six times platinum, and sold over 16M world wide.  It got six Grammy Award nominations, winning Best New Artist and Best Album Package.  

It generated six singles: Girls Just Want to Have Fun, Time After Time (her first number-one hit), She-Bop (my favorite), All Through the Night, Money Changes Everything, and When You Were Mine.

She's so Unusual was selected by the Library of Congress for preservation in the National Recording Registry in 2019 for being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant."
