Cyndi Lauper Reflects on Her Career: "I Sing Because It Makes Me Feel Free"

One-woman charisma bomb Cyndi Lauper was launched into pop-music fame in 1983 with her debut album "She's So Unusual."

Lauper quickly became a star and soon was raising her voice for activism, speaking openly about sexism and the AIDS crisis at a time when neither issue was popular. Now, as she prepares for retirement with a farewell tour, and with her new documentary "Let the Canary Sing" streaming on Paramount+, it's clear Cyndi's voice is just as loud as ever.
