Info for Let The Canary Sing

A fast-paced and music-rich portrait of uncompromising American singer Cyndi Lauper. Her sister Ellen tells of how they sang and danced together as children. Famous pop artists such as Boy George share their thoughts on her musical talent and unique vocal sound, as well as how she has drawn attention to subjects like emancipation, abortion, racism and gender discrimination.If you only know Ms Lauper as the girlish and irrepressible singer of her 1983 track “Girls Just Want to Have Fun,” you may be surprised to discover the activist message behind this jubilant hit.

Feminist and journalist Gloria Steinem describes the song as an “anthem for young feminists” in this dynamic, in-depth music documentary. And at live concerts, her global 1986 hit “True Colors” touches the hearts of thousands of people from the queer community. This inspirational chronological life story of an eclectic singer—of soul (in a moving duet with Patti LaBelle), pop, blues, and funk—shows that it pays to stay true to your dreams, your mission and your unique voice.

Cyndi Lauper has sold more than 50 million records worldwide and is a GRAMMY, Emmy and Tony-winning artist. She won the Grammy Award for Best New Artist with her first album, She’s So Unusual, and became the first woman in history to have four top-five singles from a debut album. In 2013, Lauper became the first solo woman to win a Tony for Best Original Score (music and lyrics) for Kinky Boots. She has been inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame, became a New York Times best-selling author following the release of her memoir, and was awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2016. Additional honors include Billboard’s Women In Music Icon Award, the 2019 High Note Global Prize issued by United Nations Human Rights, multiple American Music Awards, Billboard Awards, MTV Video Music Awards and beyond. Lauper is also dedicated to advocacy, co-founding True Colors United in 2008 to fight and end homelessness amongst LGBTQ youth.

Helping others has always been a guiding force for Cyndi and she focuses her efforts to make a difference through the True Colors Fund.

Cyndi first found acclaim in 1983, co-writing a pair of memorable singles "Time After Time" and "She Bop" for her seminal debut, She’s So Unusual. Spring-boarding off this success, she co-wrote most of her follow-up album, True Colors, including the hit "Change of Heart."

As her craft evolved, so did her nuance for expressing social issues, notably on Hat Full of Stars ("Sally’s Pigeons," "A Part Hate", "Broken Glass") and Sisters of Avalon ("Ballad of Cleo And Joe," "Say A Prayer").

Throughout her career Cyndi has penned tracks with an assortment of her peers including Billy Joel, The Hooters, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Jeff Beck, Junior Vasquex, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Nellie McKay and Max Martin. In 2013, those decades of songwriting culminated in Cyndi’s first foray into Broadway, composing the music for the critically adored Broadway musical Kinky Boots.

The musical won six Tony Awards, including one for her score, which made her the first woman to win solo in that category. The show has gone on to set a box office record. All told, Cyndi’s spirited songwriting has earned her more than 50 million in album sales, two Grammys®, an Emmy, and a Tony.
