No offense meant with the title (actually, a compliment) of today’s story but if you and I have gotten blithely addicted to bossa nova, there’s nobody to “blame” but the master of the genre, Sergio Mendes (no, the “g” in his first name is not silent).

Cyndi Lauper revisits the songs that made her a star with The Body Acoustic. You all surely remember Cyndi.  Her first album was titled She’s So Unusual and she really looked the part.  She is not so unusual these days anymore though because girls today are dressing and are doing their hair the way Cyndi did then.  But unusual or not, Cyndi’s music is as exciting as ever.  Proof is here in The Body Acoustic.
