How to watch Cyndi Lauper documentary
On Tuesday, June 4, “Let The Canary Sing” hits Paramount+.
According to a press release, the documentary will cover the pop star’s ascent from her Queens upbringing to the top of the pop charts in the 1980s and beyond.
About the project, director Alison Ellwood said, “Like many people, I assumed when Cyndi Lauper burst onto the music scene in the early ’80s, that she was another young star experiencing a meteoric rise to fame and success thanks to MTV. Her music videos were wild and colorful, her songs like ‘Girls Just Want to Have Fun’ were infectious. But as it turns out, her story is one of hard knocks, hard work and dogged determination. Cyndi wanted her voice not just to be listened to, but a voice to be heard. The documentary will be a full portrait of Cyndi Lauper – her ‘True Colors’ shining through.”
