Her famous hits regarding women were written by men, except true colors which was written for gays by a gay man.

Her actual studio band during her hayday was Philly's own The Hooters (see And We Danced).

All in all, she is an image not an entity--perfect for the gay games.

I know that Rob Hyman played on his song 'Time After Time' for Cyndi, but I don't think the Hooters were necessarily her regular "studio band". The Hooters did do a bit of studio work though, like on Joan Osbourne's 'Relish'.

Really? Her singing sounds better than the Hooters' lead singers.

Her actual studio band during her hayday was Philly's own The Hooters (see And We Danced).

"And We Danced" was a nice dance tune, but when it comes to the Hooters, I think of "All You Zombies." What a great song, expertly produced by Rick Chertoff. I don't get the lyrics with the vague Biblical references, but it's killer when listened to on expensive headphones.

I thought her best song was "Money Changes Everything", but she didn't write that either.

The song was written by The Brains' frontman, Tom Gray. I believe Rob Hyman (of the Hooters) played keyboards on the song, as did other band members.
