This Thursday is the True Colors tour at Merriweather Post Pavilion. The headliner for the show is legendary 80's pop-star Cyndi Lauper. Cyndi Lauper was responsible for the central female anthem of the decade, the song "Girls Just Want To Have Fun." As timeless as that song has become, it only made it to #2 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Lauper's first #1 was actually "Time After Time," but those two hits plus two others put Cyndi Lauper in the record books as the first female artist to have four Top Five singles from a debut album. Among her many other achievements, she was the #1 Singles Artist and #1 Female artist of the year for 1984, and she won awards from the MTV Video Music Awards, the American Music Awards, and Rolling Stone Magazine. Cyndi Lauper also won a Grammy Award, what was the category?
Bonus Question: Cyndi Lauper's second album "True Colors" featured lots of guests, including The Bangles, Aimme Mann, and Billy Joel. One of the guests on the album provided a voice over segment at the end of the song "911," playing the role of an emergency operator. Who was it?
