- Essential - CD

Monster hits and key album tracks make this an ideal taste of Cyndi. Includes Girls Just Want to Have Fun; True Colors; Time After Time; She Bop; All Through the Night; Sisters of Avalon; Who Let in the Rain; Change of Heart; I Drove All Night; the Goonies 'R' Good Enough, and more. 14 tracks of some of the catchiest music of the '80s!
Competing nicely with the earlier Time After Time: The Best of Cyndi Lauper, Columbia/Legacy's The Essential Cyndi Lauper features most of the '80s icon's big hits as well as lesser-known album tracks. Considering the inconsistent nature of Lauper's albums, it is nice to find tracks like "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" and "True Colors" packaged alongside "Sisters of Avalon" and "Who Let in the Rain." Most Lauper fans will already own these songs, but for casual fans, The Essential Cyndi Lauper will do the trick. ~ Matt Collar, All Music Guide
