Cyndi Lauper's Pop Star Journey and Documentary Reluctance
TL;DR
Cyndi Lauper's debut solo single "Girls Just Want to Have Fun" was failing until her manager came up with the idea to partner with wrestling legend Captain Lou Albano to promote her music via the World Wrestling Federation. The song became a hit, and Lauper's career took off with her Grammy-winning album "She's So Unusual." Lauper's new documentary "Let the Canary Sing" premiered at the Tribeca Festival, chronicling her rise to fame and the inspiration behind her signature song.
