Song of the Day: True Colors

Beneath all the dyed hair, outrageous speaking voice and the fact that she was popular in the 80s, Cyndi Lauper has maintained a presence in the music business. She's one of those artists that has a greater influence than her record sales indicate. She's well respected within musical circles and continues to be active and asked to things.

Clearly, there is more substance there than she got credit for back in the day.

She's been on Howard Stern's show a few times, this morning included. She's mature and well spoken, but not self-righteous in any way. With that wonderful accent she displays a wonderful sense of humor about herself and just about anything else.

Here's one of her more popular tunes. Not only was it a hit on it's own, it was featured in (I think) Kodak TV commercials and redone karaoke style by Phil Collins.
