Always been a fan of her singles and at last got round to buying a compilation which delivers a broad variety of her hits. Orbison and Dion have recorded 'Drove All Night' but don't stack up to Lauper's version. More than satisfied with this purchase.
I only knew and liked about 5 or 6 songs on the cd when I chose it but on hearing it found I liked quite a few more of the tracks, thnaks to this woman's great unique voice and tone. Really enjoy it :-)
It was one of those moments when I heard a Cyndi Lauper song on the radio and then thought about some of her other hits, this prompted me to look for a greatest hits CD on e.bay. 12 Deadly Cyns-And Then Some (weird title....why didn't they simply call it Cyndi Lauper Greatest Hits ?)is a feel good CD. You start with the infectiously toe tapping "Girls just wanna have fun" to other pop classics like "She bop", and just when you think this is too full of pop tunes you get a complete change in Ms Laupers vocals as she comes down a trillion octaves to give us the ballads of "All through the night" "I drove all night" and the beautiful "Time after time". You may not be able to think of 12 of her hits, but put this CD on and you'll be surprised how many great songs you remember.
This Best Of album contains the must have, Girls Just Want To Have Fun, and the heart wrenching beaty of true Colours (sorry Phil Collins, your version is great, but the catch in Cyndis voice just brings a tear), and of course Time after Time. I may be Biased, as True Colours and Time after Time were played at my wedding! There is also a pretty good cover of Marvin Gayes What's Going On. Cyndi I think deserves greater recognition, she really is on par with Madonna. Bouncy and fun with Girls Just Want... Tear jerkingly beautiful with True Colours.
this cd great title,as ever all songs to me have magic content and meaning.she is tiny but terrific in vocals and the definition of all songs performed. I get a lift and enjoy singing along with this cd.girls just wanna have fun never ages,nearly always hear this at parties and sing songs,this cd twelve deadly cyns and then some,to me is a must have.the changing modes of all songs makes this cd special,some of the best I have heard from her of,I drove all night,money changes everything,come on home,she bop,I"m gonna be strong, great collection, great entertainment,cannot fault it.
