In an interview set to air next week, Cyndi Lauper shared with Dan Rather her thoughts about her groundbreaking career. Lauper recalls the first time she heard the demo for what would become one of her biggest hits and an enduring anthem for women, “Girls Just Want To Have Fun,” and why she almost decided to pass on it. “I listened to it and said, ‘No. I can’t do this song.’ Because a man wrote it, so imagine what it’s really about,” Lauper says in a clip from an upcoming episode of “The Big Interview,” which will air on AXS TV on April 30. Lauper found the original lyrics to be misogynistic, so she rewrote the song as an anthem for young women. During the discussion, the Grammy, Emmy and Tony award-winning singer also reflects on the longevity of her legendary career; describes the creative process behind some of her most enduring songs; and opens up about her charity, True Colors United. Lauper, 65, has sold more than 50 million albums and 20 million singles in a career that has spanned over 40 years. Copyright(c) 2019 RTTNews.com. All Rights ReservedLess «
