In November 1980, before her meteoric rise to solo stardom with hits like “Girls Just Want to Have Fun,” Cyndi Lauper was in Amsterdam as part of her band, Blue Angel. It was during this period, specifically on November 19, 1980, that she was photographed by Rob Verhorst at the Pulitzer Hotel.
At this time, Blue Angel had released their eponymous debut album, which, despite critical acclaim for Lauper’s distinctive vocals, did not achieve significant commercial success. The photoshoot at the Pulitzer Hotel likely served as promotional material for the band.
While the exact details of the photoshoot itself are not widely publicized, Cyndi Lauper herself has reminisced about her time in Amsterdam in 1980. In an interview, she mentioned releasing a single there and even an incident where she twisted her ankle onstage during a show, requiring her to walk with a cane afterward. She also fondly recalled purchasing unique clothing items, like stretch leopard pants and a reversible coat, which she would incorporate into her stage attire.
