While the song that most identify with her is her debut single “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun’ which peaked at #2- her first #1 hit would be “Time After Time.’ What a great debut album- she had 5 Top 40 hits off of it- 4 of them made the Top 5. She had one more #1 a few years later with ‘True Colors.” I would vote for ‘Time After Time’ as her greatest song.
Totally agree – great song and showed she had more range than just girls want to have fun
Have you heard Eva Cassidy’s version of the song used in the Kay Jewelers commercial?
Yep I have all of Eva’s albums. What a voice she had.
Had?
she died nearly 25 years ago
Nevermind. I just looked that up.
very sad- she never got to see her talents so widely appreciated.
Yeah. Melanoma. Only 33. Damn. And, a lovely voice…
I’ve always loved that tune. This has to be my favorite Cyndi Lauper song.
