Absolutely. I have never seen anyone give away a platinum record that was 100%. Respect and talk about giving back wow If she was not on his show, that's the reason why she started having good things happen to her. Keep deserved every moment and what a voice. That woman has some serious octaves and still today.
She's naturally awesome! A genuine entertainer, a complete pro, and live, what a talent, how could Carson not adore her. How can I not adore this woman.
Her stage presence is amazing. So naturally charming! 😂 and her singing voice…. It’s astonishing how much she sounds like the original recording, every single note 🎵 😮
@@Laura-rp2ki "Time After Time" is a very special song to me, because its chorus symbolizes the deep friendship I have with a former co-worker named Emily -- and my pledge to be there for her no matter what life brings. ("If you fall, I will catch you, I'll be waiting.") I even gave her a custom bracelet with the inscription, "Time After Time." I always feel emotional when I hear the song that inspired it.
This seems like yesterday. I want to slap the side of this TV to see if the reception comes in better. One word for the many talents back then ― Original
Cyndi was/is great 💘 I saw her in concert in New Orleans, and she was a bundle of energy. She was fun, entertaining, funny, and lovely. And her voice, oh her versatile voice! To me, she puts Madonna to shame at singing 🎵🎶🎼 I'm so glad I found this clip👍
She is a philanthropist with her hands in every kind of cause and recently started focusing on kids who arent welcome at home or who are homeless and built a place in New York even with apartments for them with counseling and adults to model structure. Yet another wonderful cause and such more than the typical hanging out 0.00001% of a rich person's net worth, all recouped after April in tax refunds and for that being named an ambassador for the cause and tho they never look back or do more to help, given a lifetime of praise and kudos. Blah. And all at the same time writing a Broadway show and winning a bunch of Tony's for it.
Have never seen this interview before. Fantastic. She's very funny and a talented singer. God, where did those years go? You wake up one day and you're 57. More years behind you than in front. Kind of sad.
I can't believe she was born in 53! I was too, but I always thought she was so much younger than me. I really like her. She seems like she is a real sweetie pie.
Wake up and smell the roses. I was 18 and one day I woke up and I was 25! So believe me I’ve been sniffing a lot of roses. I don’t wanna be 50 and feel like where did the time go? I wanna make each day count like the great jack Dawson once saiid.
@@Mr_LMT_93 It's a specific New York accent. She doesn't sound like Jackie Kennedy, for example. But yes, you're saying exactly what I'm saying. Many people insinuate that she tries to sound like a flapper girl or Betty Boop, but she really sounded like that. Her voice was also very high in the 80's, like she was "trying" to sound childish, but I know a lot of women who have a voice that high. It makes her speaking voice very unique.
imagine being at the meeting where somebody says, "Hey, we're making millions of dollars every year. We've changed the face of culture and music. Let's put a stop to all that and televise softball games with former celebrities instead." 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
@@robertfarrell7042 it was the meeting where they said lets have a show about volatile young, often attractive, or outcast personalities crammed into a house together and filmed. And the young american public ate it all the way up to jersey shore lol
@@NicJDee I don't watch much television, but my wife likes to in the evening, so I am familiar with the obvious programs, some of which are quite humorous at times. Anyhoo, I had a bit of an epiphany one evening during an episode of "The Office" (U.S. version w/Steve Carell): The Very Same Shit That Booted Music from MTV Has Actually Affected The Methods Employed In The Recording Of Today's Sitcoms! I enjoy the office, as of last week, I'm into season 3 of Parks And Recreation...same deal, amusing comedic vessel arbitrarily influenced by those Real Life MTV shows, talking to the camera, unsteady camera during filming...not a complaint so much as an observation. Far removed from the days of Cheers and Married,With Children! (I'll stick to my music personally!!)
When this was broadcast, I was living on the same floor of an apartment building in Manhattan with the guitarist (the redhead) - watching with his g.f. and our neighbors -- so proud of our friend on national TV! Shout out to John McCurry!
How could you not fall in love with her? One of the best singers of all time, because she put pure emotions behind the lyrics. She was so cute (still is), witty and funny. And that thick Jersey accent: adorable.
@@losttango yeah. I saw an interview with her that basically said in terms of the high pitch… she talked like that for quite a few years (the AMAs are a great example in 86) where she said she purposely talked like that to catch people off guard when she said something funny or intelligent! lol. She’s genius! She also said that she heard herself talking on tv at one time and was horrified by her voice so she also worked with a voice coach on her talking to change her voice. I think she did tone down her accent purposely a bit. Anyway… a very smart woman
Takes a special talent and personality make your first appearance with Johnny and make it appear as if she were a regular haha. Wonderful clip. Thanks for sharing.
Not a single pre recorded vocal or instrument...Cyndi and her band were absolutely stellar. Anytime I see any modern artists with pre recorded parts in a live context I’m out. Bring back stage craft.
She’s great at playing an act, like Lucille Ball (I Love Lucy). She’s actually pretty smart, because I seen her interviewed for real, and I’m talking about in the 80’s.
JiveDadson There were a lot of actresses that were good at playing the dumb blond, or ditzy characters. Yes, Jennifer Tilley was really good, so was Marlyn Monroe. Some played in real life, some played in on tv or movies, some played it full time in public.
They say Arlenne Sorkin was the inspiration behind Harley Quinn, but really it is Cyndi Lauper.....the voice and personality...she is adorable...nuff said!
I love watching all of her appearances on Carson. You can tell 2 minutes into meeting her, Johnny was charmed. Cyndi is a vocal beast, performs live, amazing comedic timing and flat out just a good human being.
Before Madonna, before Ga-Ga..there was Cyndi. Trailblazer ! Just think, the audience is likely hearing this song (Time after Time) for the 1st time! A true masterpiece !
Have no idea what the interview was about but her singing is amazing. Loved it. Time after time will forever be my favorite song and forever remain timeless.
In 1984 I was working with a Girls band in NYC. We were looking for a new singer. Someone suggested I talk to this girl Cydi in the group Blue Angels in the building wer wer living in. I went to talk to here and she told me she had just signed a deal with CBS. "If it did not work out she would reach out" I never heard from her again. God bless you my Cyndi
She should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. She has a great voice and a great entertainer. She also had a talk show for a time where she talked about the events of the day. She is smarter than hell.
I remember when she appeared on the scene with this song. It was back when everyone watched music videos- and her video for this song was terrific!!! She was so fun fresh colorful & so talented. She captured the fun of that era perfectly.
She is one of those lovely people whokept her promise to her inner child to never fully grow up.Edit: I beleive it makes your appearance look younger too if you do that.
My friend and I went to Cleveland for our spring break in '84. We met Cyndi and got her autograph as she was coming out of the radio studio my friend's brother worked at. We got to see her at a club that night when we were 18. This was when Cyndi hadn't quite made it big yet, but was well on her way!💖
I don't get too nostalgic but watching this I felt like I wanted to go back in time and relive a few precious moments. Especially when she's singing Time After Time...
When I first saw Cyndi Lauper, she caught me off guard a little bit. Thought she was crazy. Then she started singing. I paid attention real quick. Full of energy and emotion on every song.

Johnny knew a star when he saw one. He understood and was able to validate her unique brilliance right from the start. God Bless him for that….
She played live and did fantastic. No auto tune. Great voice. Much respect. Great band.
Can not be understated how powerful it was to have 16 minutes on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson in 1984. Colossal boost to a young career!
Absolutely. I have never seen anyone give away a platinum record that was 100%. Respect and talk about giving back wow If she was not on his show, that's the reason why she started having good things happen to her. Keep deserved every moment and what a voice. That woman has some serious octaves and still today.
MtV was making STARS 1984
She's naturally awesome! A genuine entertainer, a complete pro, and live, what a talent, how could Carson not adore her. How can I not adore this woman.
Who would've known then that this was a golden moment.
Everyone knew.
This song always makes me cry
Johnny Carson knew

Incredible live performance of Time After Time. One of the best performances on UA-cam.

The best decade. No lip syncing, lots of energy and a lot of individuality without criticism.
A lot of lip syncing, at least on TV.
No. Nowadays there's brely any lipsynching on SNL, Fallon, Ellen. In the 80s it was all lip synched

She's so, well, unusual!
@@AshtrayAnnie I could listen to her talk for hours.

I wish I had a time machine I'd go back to the 80's and never leave. Best decade ever.
The late 70's were pretty good too.

I agree. Madonna is a whore, and don't care. Cindi has class, grace and talent.
That Madonna Cyndi thing is over, they are two completely different gales
@@miguelvera4268 Yeah, Cyndi has talent!!
@@Tony-5000 that's why I said it's not even worth it the comparisson
@@Tony-5000 Cool beans! So does Madonna
She’s so fun to watch.
Her comedic timing is excellent...
Fun stuff to watch. Johnny and Cyndi. Thanks!
That she wrote these gems is testament to the lady’s talent. Cyndi’s a true one-of-a-kind.
dunno about time after time, but she didn't write girls just wanna have fun. she's an incredible talent regardless.
What a beautiful person she is... though I have never met her personally I just feel she is very genuine... still to this day!
She is a philanthropist with her hands in every kind of cause and recently started focusing on kids who arent welcome at home or who are homeless and built a place in New York even with apartments for them with counseling and adults to model structure. Yet another wonderful cause and such more than the typical hanging out 0.00001% of a rich person's net worth, all recouped after April in tax refunds and for that being named an ambassador for the cause and tho they never look back or do more to help, given a lifetime of praise and kudos.

this song changed a whole generation!! :)
Wow, i like this girl. She sings good, .. quite good actually, n is so funny. I really like the girl. So nice really, tks for video.
The 80s was soooo fun , it was all about the music.. ❤️Cindy love her style.
Oh yeah, the Reagan Years in America. Good times!
Great show. Johnny never talked down to her, let her talk and it was a great show.
Why would he talk down to her? He'd been around comedians for decades by that point. He recognized she was performing, not stupid.
"As soon as the summit meeting is over in Russia they oughta get right on that." Carson, he's priceless.
She’s such a gem. So entertaining and charming to watch. I love her voice and energy so much. Beautiful.
She was so cute love the way she talk

Back when MTV was actually about music
Amen to that !

1984 we had real fun 👍😁😃
This gives me goosebumps, my daughter and I listened to her music all the time when she was small. Good times!
"You say go slow, I fall behind"
Good lord. She is seriously amazing. Everything about her. How did people go on doing anything nonLauper related after she hit the spotlight?
I wasn't alive at the time but I think the 80's had much better things like music and tv than they do now
She's too cute... I had that album. "She Bop" was my favorite. When I found out what it was about-- it *REALLY became my favorite!😁
God I miss the 1980's....she is absolutely brilliant!
Only singer I've ever seen that after one performance, I knew would be a star. Her happiness is infectious!
Time After Time, such a great song! Co-written by Rob Hyman of the Hooters(another great Band)!!
Hahaha, you beat me to it.
She’s great at playing an act, like Lucille Ball (I Love Lucy). She’s actually pretty smart, because I seen her interviewed for real, and I’m talking about in the 80’s.
Johnny knew fairly quickly he was being worked and couldn't have been more gracious about it.
No one played ditzy like Jennifer Tilly. Never cared for Lucy.

Omg this made my day🎶💙80s🧡
Nailed it Cyndi🧡🌺
